Regan King has scored 30 tries in 107 starts since joining the Scarlets in 2005

The Scarlets suffered a huge blow ahead of their crunch Heineken Cup clash with Leicester on Saturday with New Zealander Regan King a late withdrawal.

The star centre failed a late fitness test on an ankle and is expected to be out for up to a month.

His midfield place against the Tigers was taken by Gareth Maule and Daniel Evans came on to the bench.

King was due to line up alongside Wales Six Nations hopeful Jonathan Davies at Parc y Scarlets.
