By this time next week, it will have been 500 days since James Davies last played a game of rugby and still there is no date pencilled in for his return.
It’s been a tough time for the man who has both an Olympic silver medal and 11 Wales caps to his name. As befits one of the real characters of Welsh rugby, “Cubby Boi” has remained an enthusiastic presence off the field at the Scarlets, with his old school approach. You can read more about his colourful demeanour here.
To quote head coach Dwayne Peel, the 31-year-old flanker has been “fantastic” and “excellent” around the club, a club he dearly loves. But what Davies loves doing above all is playing rugby, as he has demonstrated time and again during his career, with his infectious personality, his beaming smile and his trademark try celebration.
