New Wales World Cup star Henry Thomas has won his club-versus-country battle after choosing to play for Warren Gatland's side.
The former England prop, who also qualifies for the red jersey, was warned by French aces Montpellier the decision to complete his international transfer to Wales would cost him his club job.
Montpellier, last season's French champions, spelt out the situation because they wanted Thomas to focus on his club rugby. He still has a year left on his contract with the Top 14 side.
