Dai Young 'really surprised' by odd Wayne Pivac selection U-turn over Wales regular

Cardiff boss Dai Young says he is “really surprised” at the omission of Wales regular Seb Davies from the squad for this summer’s tour of South Africa. The versatile Davies played in all but one of Wales’ matches this season, either at blindside flanker or in his regional position of second row, starting the last two games, against France and Italy, at No 6.
