You wouldn’t call Ben Fry a smooth operator. Indeed, the young Dragons back rower is as abrasive as a piece of 40-grit sandpaper.
“He doesn’t flinch on a rugby field,” one former Wales international said of the 23-year-old to WalesOnline this week. “He tackles anything that moves and is into everything around the field. He’s old school in so many ways, and none the worse for it.”
Fry is one to watch. He hasn’t featured in a Wales squad yet but he is a player on the up.
