Welsh youngster Dafydd Jenkins has given Wayne Pivac a further nudge with a man-of-the-match display in the BUCS Super Rugby final.
The athletic 6ft 7in, 17st 11lb lock scored the late try which Josh Barton converted to help Exeter University beat Durham University 14-13 in a high-class encounter at Sixways. The score crowned an excellent performance from the 19-year-old Porthcawl Comprehensive School product, highlighting why he is said to be interesting Wales ahead of their tour to South Africa this summer.
Jenkins came up with a series of lineout takes, tackled strongly and carried with purpose as he made the kind of impact that marks him down as a player to watch. His 76th-minute touchdown came after Exeter battered away at the opposition defensive line deep in Durham territory over a prolonged period.
