New Wales centre likened to Jamie Roberts and teased by team-mates over deceptive accent

You'd never guess it from his voice, but Bryn Bradley only ever dreamt of playing for Wales. Even before he could walk or talk he, along with his older brother Gwilym, was sporting a red jersey.

"Ever since we were born, we knew that we wanted to represent Wales," he told S4C while on duty for the Under 20s at the World Rugby Championships in South Africa. "That was the dream. We had a Welsh shirt and a Welsh ball in the cot from day one."

But while Bradley qualifies through his Newport-born mother, the 20-year-old centre was born and raised in London, playing his rugby for Epsom College and Cobham RFC before joining Harlequins. By his own admission, there's no mistaking his privileged upbringing when he opens his mouth either, with the youngster getting stick from his Welsh teammates about his "posh accent".
