Jac Morgan and Blair Murray also made the URC team of the season and Sam Davies will be winning the ProD2 player of the season again unless something goes badly wrong.

Well deserved for both of them. Sam has been a revelation. I always thought he had all the assets and just lacked the belief in his ability. The move to France has been of immense benefit to him. If he gets to the Top14 and goes well, we may need to reappraise his value to the national squad.

He’s done well n France and provided his defence now exists, he should be on the radar, assuming he’s eligible.

IIRC he’s 31 so he might have the legs for a few more seasons and allow other players to come through. Certainly we need competition at fly half.
