Max Llewellyn returns ahead of schedule for Cardiff when they take on Benetton Rugby in the United Rugby Championship clash at the Arms Park on Saturday (5.15pm).
The blockbusting 24-year-old had been touted for a Wales call before an ankle injury against Newcastle on December 17. The worst-case scenario facing him at the time was that he’d been out for 12 weeks.
But the tackle-busting centre is back within seven. Wales have players queuing up in midfield but with his speed, power and handling skills, the 6ft 5in, 16st 7lb Llewellyn is a player Warren Gatland is likely to want to monitor.
