Former Fiji 15's and 7s coach Wayne Pivac has rejected Sir Clive Woodward's claim that he has lost focus since learning he would succeed Warren Gatland as Wales coach next year.
Woodward wrote in his newspaper column that Scarlets boss Pivac should have "taken a sabbatical" when his appointment was announced in July.
Scarlets have only won six out of 14 matches in all competitions this season.
But Pivac insists nobody is "working any less than they did" last year.
The Scarlets were crowned Pro12 champions in 2016-2017, and last season they reached the semi‑finals of the European Champions Cup and the final of the Guinness Pro14.
But Pivac, who will succeed fellow Kiwi Gatland after the 2019 World Cup, dismissed Woodward's suggestion that the Scarlets' form was the result of his appointment.
