Josh Adams returns to Test rugby on Saturday admitting that competition for places in Wales’ back-three is “as strong as it has ever been”.

Cardiff wing Adams, who was top try-scorer at the Japan-hosted 2019 World Cup, has been sidelined due to a broken bone in his hand.

With Adams out, Dragons prospect Rio Dyer took his chance impressively in opening Autumn Nations Series games against New Zealand and Argentina.

Leigh Halfpenny returns from injury among the replacements when Wales tackle Georgia this weekend, with Louis Rees-Zammit filling the full-back berth and Alex Cuthbert selected as Adams’ wing partner.

Current outside centre George North, meanwhile, has played the vast majority of his international career as a wing, with Dyer rested against Georgia and Liam Williams currently recovering from a collarbone injury.

“Competition for places in the back-three is as strong as it has ever been, and it does drive your standards,” Adams said.

“With players coming in and going well, you know when you get your opportunity that you have got to take it.

“Rio came in and played exceptionally well, Cuthy (Alex Cuthbert) has come back in and been terrific, George (North) can slide on to the wing.

“Louis is having a run at full-back with Leigh and Liam to come back. The list goes on, so you have got to take every chance you get.

“The wing and full-back positions now are inter-changeable. There are a lot of similarities in the two positions – back-field coverage, aerially, defensively.

“It can help playing wing and 15 at Test level and will count in your favour, but as a back-three unit there are a lot of similarities.

“It has been like that for a while, but previously you might have more of an out and out winger, somebody who would be a bit more up and down with pace and power.

“Now, being good aerially, kicking, positional play are important and transferrable to being a full-back.”

Adams wins his 43rd cap on Saturday, and one try against Georgia would move him above Sir Gareth Edwards, Gerald Davies and Tom Shanklin on Wales’ all-time list, with the quartet currently tied on 20 touchdowns.

Adams’ impressive strike-rate underlines the impact he has made since arriving on the Test match stage less than five years ago.

And he is now fully fit for a game that sees Wales facing opponents they will meet again at next year’s World Cup in France.

“It was a bit frustrating because you just don’t know with fractures. There is no intense rehab you can do to speed up the process,” he added.

“It was just about making sure it was 100 per cent right.

“I didn’t want to go out there only being able to give 75 or 80 per cent. I wanted to deliver what was asked of me.

“It has taken maybe a week or two longer than what I would have hoped, but we are here and that is the main thing.

“I’ve tried to be as present as I can in every training session and give my opinion in meetings.

“Coming into camp with an injury is frustrating and you have to integrate in training later on, but I am excited and champing at the bit to get back out there.”

Dan Sheehan: What Ireland have been 'talking about' all week ahead of Wales

Individuals should exercise extreme caution in the investment landscape, as numerous fraudulent investment companies and deceptive recovery firms operate globally. The difficulty in withdrawing funds from trading accounts, or the experience of complete financial loss, is unfortunately a common occurrence. These situations often involve sophisticated schemes designed to exploit unsuspecting investors. For example, Ponzi schemes promise exceptionally high returns with minimal risk, attracting investors who subsequently lose their principal investments when the scheme collapses. Another common tactic involves fraudulent brokers who manipulate trading platforms or provide false information to induce losses. Furthermore, many victims fall prey to scam recovery firms that promise to retrieve stolen funds but instead demand upfront fees without delivering on their promises. These firms often operate anonymously and lack any legitimate regulatory oversight. MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs offers guidance and assistance to individuals who have experienced such financial losses. Our services encompass a comprehensive assessment of the situation, identification of the perpetrators, and the pursuit of legal avenues for fund recovery. This process may involve collaborating with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and legal professionals to build a robust case for restitution. It is crucial to remember that recovering stolen funds requires patience, diligence, and a thorough understanding of the legal processes involved. While MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs strives to provide effective solutions, the success of any recovery effort is dependent on various factors, including the nature of the fraud, the availability of evidence, and the cooperation of relevant authorities. Therefore, prospective clients should approach the process with realistic expectations and a commitment to full transparency and cooperation.
