The guys a real special talent. English clubs usually stay away from picking up Celtic players due to old rivalries. The fact that he is Welsh playing for an English club and the fact that it didn’t lose him his spot on the national team says a whole lot about what a special talent he is. That shit is VERY rare in rugby. He’s a bit of a bitch in rugby terms as far as shying away from big hits, but his speed and goose step are absolutely elite. He’s gonna make a hell of a returner in my opinion and could definitely become a decent depth option at receiver. Don’t see him lining up at RB much. He needs to get the ball in more space to utilize his skillsets. [Reply]

No offence but it's not unusual for Welsh players to play for English clubs. Especially Gloucester. He's pretty quick and he'll be used as a returner and realistically anything else would be a surprise and a great bonus [Reply]

Pads don't matter. Rugby is FAR more difficult to play than football from a physical standpoint. Have to be in way better shape as it is perpetual motion. The real question everyone should be asking: How high is his ass? [Reply]

Unless this is also a marketing play by the business guys.

Camp fodder? Chiefs gave him a 3 year deal. He will contribute some how some way or they wouldn’t have gave him a 3 year deal. Just an invite to training camp = camp fodder [Reply]
