Congratulations Will Rowlands

Towards the end of this it seems to suggest this is also a deliberate ploy to get players to come back to Wales when their contracts end:

"Over the next 12, 24 or 36 months, you’re going to see more players who represent Wales slowly drifting back to Wales. That can only be good for the clubs and Wales"

Interesting statement statement to make. How can players who have never played or represented Wales in any age group come back to Wales...

Maybe but there are only so many positions (15) and players will need to see finances in Wales rise to be happy on the bench.

Interestingly, a Wales Online article describes Thomas Young as extremely unlucky not to be selected - and suggests that this will mean he will stay in England with Wasps rather than come back to Wales for less money and a chance at selection

I wonder if it was quite as much as a surprise to Dai as it seems to have been to everyone else? Tipped Pivac off about Will's Welsh dad perhaps?

It was Stephen Jones when he was with us that tipped him off.
