All Blacks legend and two-time World Cup-winner Ben Franks will be staying in the UK following his retirement.
The prop, who hangs up his boots at the end of the season, is set to be part of the new-look Scarlets coaching staff as Head coach Brad Mooar and forwards coach Ioan Cunningham are leaving the region.
Th 36-year-old is expected to be employed as a scrummaging specialist at Parc y Scarlets.
Before his move to the northern hemisphere, Franks notched up 130 Super Rugby appearances for the Crusaders and the Hurricanes, twice winning the title with the former in 2006 and 2008.
The prop made his Test debut for New Zealand in 2010 against Ireland; packing down in the front row alongside brother Owen, the duo become only the second pair of brothers to represent the All Blacks.
His performances earned him a place at the 2011 Rugby World Cup where New Zealand claimed an historic title on home soil, before Franks and the All Blacks went on to repeat the feat in 2015 – making him one of only 21 players ever to have been a part of two World Cup victories.
Ranking Eddie Jones’ first 10 England debutants
10. Tommy Taylor
Position: Hooker
Current record: 1 appearance, 0 goals
Featured in latest squad? No
One call-up, one cap, surely unlikely ever to play for England again. There are simply too many players pushing him well out of contention even for a squad place at the moment.
9. Ollie Devoto
Position: Centre
Current record: 2 appearances, 0 tries
Featured in latest squad? Yes
His two appearances both came in 2016, both coming against Wales. Following four years firmly out of the picture, the 6ft 3in centre was included in Jones' 2020 Six Nations squad and was an unused replacement for their opening round defeat against France.
8. Jack Clifford
Position: Back-row
Current record: 7 appearances, 2 tries
Featured in latest squad? No
The only man to be handed a debut in Eddie Jones' first game as England boss against Scotland in 2016 was expected to go on and become one of his most important players. However, an unfortunate series of injuries stopped the flanker establishing himself with players such as Tom Curry and Sam Underhill emerging since.
7. Teimana Harrison
Position: Back-row
Current record: 5 appearances, 1 try
Featured in latest squad? No
All five of his caps came in 2016.
Harrison received his first call up to the senior England squad by coach Eddie Jones on 8 May 2016 for a three-day training squad, and made his full England debut in a match against Wales on 29 May 2016.
6. Ben Te'o
Position: Centre
Current record: 16 appearances, 2 tries
Featured in latest squad? No
The centre had been a regular under Jones, but missed the 2019 Rugby World Cup following an off-field altercation with Mike Brown at England's summer training camp in Italy. He subsequently moved to Toulon, ending any chance of him getting a recall.
5. Nathan Hughes
Position: Number 8
Current record: 20 appearances, 1 try
Featured in latest squad? No
One of the most dominant forwards in the Gallagher Premiership, standing at 6’5” and weighing over 126kg, Hughes made his debut against South Africa in 2016.
He went onto become a regular in the next three years but fell out of favour in 2019 and hasn't received a recall since.
4. Ellis Genge
Position: Prop
Current record: 16 appearances, 2 tries
Featured in latest squad? Yes
Genge made his debut for his country as a replacement in a 27-13 win over Wales at Twickenham Stadium in 2016.
The prop was included in the squad for England’s 2016 touring party to Australia and won the 2016/17 Land Rover Discovery of the Year award.
He has become a regular member of England squads under Eddie Jones and was part of the squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
3. Elliot Daly
Position: Fullback/Wing
Current record: 42 appearances, 15 tries
Featured in latest squad? Yes
He celebrated his first senior start for his country with a monster left-footed penalty against South Africa in November 2016 and the following week had his maiden Test try against Fiji.
Daly announced his return to the side in February 2017 with a huge penalty against France and that was followed up with a brilliantly-taken try with four minutes left to beat Wales in Cardiff.
The speedster went on to win selection for the 2017 British & Irish Lions in New Zealand, and started all three Tests on the left wing against the All Blacks.
He was part of the England squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
DID YOU KNOW: He has the unusual honour of playing against England, and the British & Irish Lions, for the Barbarians in May and June 2013.
2. Kyle Sinckler
Position: Prop
Current record: 25 appearances, 1 try
Featured in latest squad? Yes
He won his first England cap as a replacement against South Africa in November 2016.
His Six Nations debut followed in the victory over Wales in February 2017 and his form saw him as one of four England props in the British & Irish Lions squad for New Zealand, where he was named on the bench for all three Tests - he won the penalty that led to Owen Farrell kicking the Lions to a 24-21 victory in the second Test.
The tighthead props first England start came against Ireland in the 2018 Six Nations and at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, Sinckler featured in every game as England reached the final and scored a memorable try against Australia in the quarter-final.
1. Maro Itoje
Position: Lock
Current record: 34 appearances, 2 tries
Featured in latest squad? Yes

Utoje made three Test appearances for the British & Irish Lions against New Zealand in 2017 and was part of the squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
Possibly the best player in the world right now.
