For Owen Williams, the pursuit of the Welsh jersey has often felt like a series of sliding door moments that have never quite fallen his way.
Two promising appearances at No. 12 against Australia and New Zealand in 2017 were quickly forgotten about once Hadleigh Parkes took over the jersey, with injuries and moves to anywhere but Wales hardly helping.
Leaving the Scarlets at an early stage of his career, plying his trade for Leicester did little to help his Test cause. Neither did further ventures to Gloucester, Japanese outfit Red Hurricanes or Worcester Warriors.
