At some point last summer, likely basking in the Italian sun while on duty for Wales U20s in the Six Nations Summer Series, Joe Hawkins, Christ Tshiunza, Dafydd Jenkins and Mason Grady sat down to have a chat.

Four young men tentatively mapping out where their futures might take them. At that point, only one - Tshiunza - had been capped at senior level.
