If feedback is the breakfast of champions, as a famous business consultant once suggested, then Taine Basham was treated to a hearty offering in a sit-down with Wayne Pivac after the Six Nations.
We’ll call it a full Welsh. Basham went from being Wales’ player of the series during the autumn and their top performer in the Six Nations opener against Ireland to being left out completely for the final two games of the championship, against France and Italy.
He could have been forgiven for feeling a spot of anxiety over his demotion, but the player who would have been a plasterer had he not made it as a rugby player isn’t the type who worries. At 22, Basham has time on his side.
