One of Welsh rugby’s forgotten men will finally return to playing action this weekend, 14 months after last taking the field.
Samson Lee hasn’t played since rupturing an Achilles tendon while in South Africa with the Scarlets in March last year.
It’s been a long haul back for the 45-cap Wales international, but the tight-head once lauded by his Test predecessor Adam Jones as ‘a once-in-a-generation’ prop has worked tirelessly to return to fitness and starts his return with an outing for Llandovery in their Indigo Welsh Premiership clash against Newport at Rodney Parade on Saturday.
