To use his own words, taking up rugby was a bit of “a no brainer” for new Wales U20s captain Joe Hawkins.
The sport was deeply embedded in his family roots and it’s been a major part of his life for pretty much as long as he can remember.
His father David played in the centre for Aberavon, Carmarthen Quins and Tonmawr, while his uncle Dan was a scrum-half for Swansea, Neath and Bonymaen.
