The battle at the breakdown has been as intense as ever during the 2019/20 Guinness PRO14 campaign – and there has been one standout individual. Scarlets star Josh Macleod has been prolific in winning back possession for his side and is today named the Big Red Cloud Turnover King in recognition of his efforts. Macleod’s tally of 23 turnovers won put him seven clear of his nearest challenger and the versatile back-row’s performances proved crucial in helping Scarlets to a third-place finish in Conference B. The Parc y Scarlets side won 86 turnovers in all – only Cardiff Blues made more in the Guinness PRO14 – and Macleod’s remarkable individual turnover count made up part of what has been an excellent season on the defensive front for the 23-year-old.
