Rhys Priestland has enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks for both the Scarlets and Wales, making just his third international start during last year’s World Cup.

He has since established himself as Wales’ No.1 fly-half as he guided Wales to the semi-finals in New Zealand, while he has shone for the Scarlets and has already passed the 500-point mark in the RaboDirect PRO12.

Priestland, 25, is also more than capable at filling in at full-back and he has been crucial to the Scarlets’ flying start to the season.
