Dai Flanagan, the coach of the Dragons, said that Wales star Taine Basham is back in the running for a spot in the team, but he won’t rush him into action.
According to Flanagan, the flanker participated in the warm-up for the Dragons’ recent match at Rodney Parade against Cardiff, but he is not yet ready to return to full-time play.
A dislocated elbow has kept Basham out of action since the middle of October.
Flanagan went on to say that he is currently in his selection process, but they will keep his current fitness levels in mind.
Basham was hurt in the match against Cardiff, and as a result, he was out of Wales’ fall schedule. His return to the action will be a significant boost for Warren Gatland because, fortunately, his shoulder did not require surgery.
He will now hope to get a chance to impress the new Wales coach before his selection for the Six Nations, which will begin with the Scarlets game on New Year’s Day.
Gerwyn Price, a darts master, has admitted that he longs to play rugby again.
Eight years after Price famously changed his boots for arrows, he has become a worldwide superstar on the oche.
Price played rugby for Neath and Cross Keys as a hooker and briefly served as injury cover for Glasgow Warriors in the old PRO12.
He quit playing rugby in 2014, but it’s clear that he still misses it, and he says that he and his wife have talked about going back to the field.
The 37-year-old said on Sky Sports prior to his World Championship victory over Jose De Sousa on Thursday night, which advanced him to the quarterfinals at Alexandra Palace. “I just want a little bit of it back. I miss it, and try to get in shape so I can get back on the field.
Mark Ring, Price’s Cross Keys coach when they won the Welsh Cup, is a former Wales center who believes that if he had fully committed to rugby, he could have been on the level of Ken Owens.
John Barclay, a former captain of Scotland and the Scarlets, has acknowledged that there are no quick fixes for Dwayne Peel.
Peel, the head coach of the Scarlets, has only one league victory this season. They have the Mythical serpents on New Year’s Day with Barclay stressed over the fate of his previous partner.
Peel has led the Scarlets to just one win and one draw in the URC since taking over this season, placing them eight points behind the Dragons in second place.
According to Barclay, Peel, a former scrum-half for Wales, “the cruel thing is that you are judged on results.”
“He will be frustrated with where they are. Dwayne and the staff there are in my thoughts and prayers. Given everything that is going on in Welsh rugby right now, they have obviously been quite vulnerable.
Barclay believes discipline has been a major problem for the West Walians, as the Scarlets have received three red cards, 11 yellow cards, and just nine points from their first ten games this season in the URC.
If they don’t change their ways, he says, it will continue to hurt them. The former favorite on the back row added: This year, defense has undoubtedly been a major topic, and they are not where you want them to be.
