Bio
Dan Lydiate is a powerful back row player, happy at blindside flanker or at number eight. He is another young Wales player to emerge from Newport Gwent Dragons and is renowned for his huge defensive work. He made his Wales debut in 2009 against Argentina. Lydiate's early career was hampered by a neck injury suffered in a Heineken Cup match against Perpignan.
