Max Llewellyn’ impending departure to England highlights what a mess Welsh rugby is in heading into World Cup year, according to former Wales centre Tom Shanklin.
One of Welsh rugby’s brightest prospects, Llewellyn will head out of Wales when his contract at Cardiff expires in the summer, with Gloucester mentioned as a likely destination.
The hard-running centre has made his call to exit against a backdrop of uncertainty, with talk of squad sizes being cut and salaries being reduced and still no signed fresh financial agreement for the game this side of the River Severn.
