There was plenty to admire in Dewi Lake’s performance off the bench for Wales against South Africa, including his superbly taken try and an ultra-brave hit that slammed the door shut on Kwagga Smith as the Springbok replacement attempted a charge.
Perceptive watchers might also have noticed something else.
When play broke up in the final quarter, Lake often seemed to take it as a cue to point the way for the rest of his forwards. At one point he could be seen driving a conversation with locks Alun Wyn Jones and Will Rowlands. Yes, that would be the same Alun Wyn Jones who has 151 Welsh caps on the board.
