When did he say that?

Tom seems to be one of those wingers that has bags of pace but lacks the top 2 inches
To be fair, that made Cuthbert a starting Lion.
LOL you've got me there
I still wake up late at night and think of what might have been when tim stimpson hit that jammy penalty1

I'm not convinced by Maynard/McBryde.
I would have thought we would have benched one of them v Zebre...
Not seen much of Maynard though I have said previously if aled is finishing we need a ten and a ten willing to be third choice behind patch and Dan. So we haven't a big pool to choose from there!

The latter is a fly half/full back...similar to Aled Thomas.

Rhys Jones the back rower, I've not seen much of at all but is only 18.
I've already said Kingsleys son
apologies, missed it!

we had Rhys Jones here before? Few seasons ago? Prydie to injury prone.

I can't see why we would be bringing in Jones with Maynard and Mcbryde progressing nicely.

The 7s thing would make sense I guess.

Prydie is an average squad player, nothing more. I think we will use him and Tom Williams for a few months until Baldwin and Conbeer have got enough exposure to establish themselves.

As for Rhys Jones though, isn't he in the 7s circuit??
So WRU put them in a region but more or less employed by WRU as they'll be missing during 7s?
Similar to when we had gomer-davies...that's how he once explained his contract wth us.
