Patience is a virtue that Alex Cuthbert has likely mastered.
Nearly 1,500 days passed between his 47th and 48th cap for his country, to the point where the past tense had replaced the present or future tense when it came to the Lions winger's Wales career. Many likely assumed he would never pull on the Welsh jersey again, but evidently not the man himself.
Years spent at Exeter outside of the goldfish bowl of Welsh rugby proved beneficial and, on his return to the Welsh game, he wasted little time in forcing his way back into international reckoning. By the end of his first season at the Ospreys, he had added four more caps to his collection - even usurping Louis Rees-Zammit from Wayne Pivac's XV to notch up his half century with what might have been a career-best performance against England.
