When the Wales squad for the approaching autumn internationals was announced, the inclusion of Rio Dyer might have raised an eyebrow or two.
Not that the Dragons winger's form didn't warrant a place, but rather that, for many, it seemed likely that the final wing spot would go to either Keelan Giles or Ryan Conbeer. However, that wasn't the case, with Wayne Pivac opting for the Dragons flyer.
When explaining his decision further, Pivac spoke about how Dyer had impressed after being invited into the camp ahead of the summer tour to South Africa. Revealing Dyer had scored the first try in a training match between squad members, Pivac was asked who he had skinned in the process. He wouldn't divulge individual names, but, with a big smile on his face, he revealed Dyer had "beaten more that just one player" on his way to the line.
