Scarlets star Johnny McNicholl is targeting a return to the Wales squad this autumn and setting his sights on the ‘ultimate goal’ of playing at next year’s Rugby World Cup.
This time last year, the 32-year-old was in-form and starting for Wayne Pivac’s side in autumn clashes against New Zealand and then South Africa. His performance against the All Blacks was his best in the Test arena to date and he deserved to retain the jersey.
But limited opportunities came after the clash with the world champions and then he missed the end of last season, and the summer tour, with a knee injury.
