By Ian Cameron
Scarlets have issued a short statement as speculation mounts around the well-being of Wales legend Phil Bennett.
The 73-year-old is said to be 'battling' an illness and is being looked after by his family. His former club took to social media to address speculation online about his health.
A Scarlets' statement reads: “Our President Phil Bennett is unwell and being cared for by his family.
“Phil is battling like the true Scarlet he's always been and our thoughts and prayers are with him. We would ask everyone to respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time.”
Bennett represented Wales on 29 occasions as well representing the British & Irish Lions. He also represented the Scarlets, then Llanelli RFC, on 410 occasions scoring 2444 points over 15 seasons.
He's widely considered to be one of the greatest to ever play the game.

Yeah it what respects? I wasn’t impressed with his start the the season either, but at least on his return he used his running game a couple of times, so some of his negative aspects balanced out, were at the start it was pretty much all wrong moves no right moves.
Go to commentsGP Ennor debuted for the ABs several years ago and has never really impressed. The same for Crusaders, has been fine without really standing out. Hes somewhat injury prone which is a real shame as he had a lot of potential but sadly has never kicked on.
Havili is a very good super player but we’ve seen more than enough of him at test level to see that he’ll never be special at that level.
