CARDIFF (Reuters) - Wales international Leigh Halfpenny will make a long-awaited return from injury on Sunday when he starts for the Scarlets in a PRO-14 clash at home to the Cheetahs.

It will be the British and Irish Lions fullback's first runout since a challenge from Samu Kerevi left him concussed during Wales' 9-6 test win over Australia in Cardiff in November.
