Warren Gatland says Rio Dyer has to stay in the Wales set-up through to the World Cup following his try-scoring debut against New Zealand. He has also been singing the praises of scrum-half Tomos Williams in the wake of the autumn international opener at the Principality Stadium.
Speaking on Amazon Prime TV, former Wales and Lions coach Gatland said: “Dyer was fantastic in his first game. He has to stay in the squad for the next 12 months or so, play some more rugby in the autumn and hopefully get some game-time in the Six Nations.”
Fellow pundit Jamie Roberts, a former Dragons team-mate of winger Dyer, added: “Rio has taken his opportunity really well and he is only going to improve. He took his try well, he looked comfortable, he looked like a Test player. I am really proud of the young man.”
