Having already been interviewed by all sections of the media since arriving, Lyons has outlined his intent pick up silverware during his stay in Wales - with 4 years to do it you wouldn't bet against it!
I have to say, Mr Lyons looks in pretty good shape after the serious ankle injury he suffered during the World Cup. He's just the type of player the Scarlets have been missing - an out and out ball carrier with a good rugby brain and the determination to win games at all costs.
The devastating news that he had to sit out the Super 14 final against the Crusaders will no doubt motivate the big man even further to help bring in the trophies at Parc y Scarlets.
Lyons is likely to be a big hit with the Scarlets fans, who will notice that he sports the new away kit in the video interviews linked below.
The powerful No.8 was voted to receive the John Eales Medal as Australia's best player in 2004. A medal which was stolen from him earlier this year along with a lot more memorabilia from his home in Australia. No doubt, Lyons will be determined to replace the achievements by hitting the ground running in Wales and the Heineken Cup. Could Lyons be part of the jigsaw the Scarlets need to get closer to the trophy which has eluded them and the other Welsh teams since the competition began?
