Bio

Rhys Priestland is a creative fly-half who can also fill in at full-back. He has deputised well for Stephen Jones at Llanelli Scarlets to the extent that Priestland too has now made the full international squad. He made his Wales debut in the 2011 Six Nations victory over Scotland. In the 2010/11 Magners League, Priestland made more metres with the ball in hand than any other fly-half.
