Professional Rugby Board chair Malcolm Wall doesn't expect Joe Hawkins to be eligible for Wales at the World Cup after the young centre signed for Exeter Chiefs.
The 20-year-old spent the majority of Wales' Six Nations campaign as Warren Gatland's first-choice inside centre but has opted to leave the Ospreys for the Gallagher Premiership.
This has thrown his Wales eligibility into question, with the five-cap centre falling significantly short of the 25 caps required to represent Wales while plying his trade outside of the country.
