Cory Allen has been through some very tough times over the past three years, but one thing that has kept his spirits up is watching the progress of his younger brother Mason Grady.
Now Mason is about to follow in his footsteps by becoming a Wales international, with the young Cardiff centre selected to make his Test debut against England at the Principality Stadium on Saturday.
It’s a huge high that comes just a few weeks after the low of six-cap Cory having to retire from playing at the age of 29 following a three-year battle with a knee injury that saw him undergo four lots of surgery.
