Summer sensation Tommy Reffell won’t have to return to Wales at the end of next season to continue his international career.
The Leicester openside flanker was a huge hit on the Welsh tour of South Africa, taking to Test rugby like a duck to water. His outstanding performances have inevitably led to increased interest over where he will be playing his club rugby in future years.
Under WRU rules, Welsh internationals with fewer than 60 caps who join teams outside of Wales or sign new deals with them become ineligible for Test rugby. So that will lead some to ask whether three-cap Pencoed product Reffell will need to head home in the next 12 months or so. But that will not be the case.
