Unheralded new prop who's the 'oldest-looking young bloke you'll see' becomes talk of Welsh rugby

Never mind Kirsty MacColl telling us about the guy working down the chip shop who swears he’s Elvis, the Ospreys have a 24-year-old 5ft 8in, 17st 13lb tighthead prop who seems very much cut from the same cloth.

Cut to the away dressing room at Welford Road and Rhys Henry giving a rendition of Jailhouse Rock.

The song was released in 1957, 41 years before Henry came into this world and many musical genres have passed by since, but it mattered not a jot to the squat former Wales U20s prop, who positively belted his way through a verse or two of one of the King’s finest, with the entire Ospreys dressing room - players and staff - joining in amid rousing celebratory scenes after the Heineken Champions Cup win over Leicester.
