Wales coach Warren Gatland says he was surprised by Rhys Priestland's decision to join Bath from Scarlets after the 2015 World Cup.
Priestland is one of three fly-halves selected in Wales' squad for the Six Nations, with Ospreys' Dan Biggar and Cardiff Blues' Gareth Anscombe also included.
Gatland says another fly-half, uncapped Owen Williams, showed loyalty by signing a contract extension at Leicester.
