Wales U20s captain Alex Mann intends holding talks with Cardiff Rugby about his chances of securing game-time next season amid the abundance of back-row riches at the Arms Park.
Mann was arguably the standout player in Byron Hayward’s side in the U20 Six Nations prior to being sent off against England in round three. The Merthyr-born back rower was named man of the match against Scotland and shone in adversity against Ireland, making a prodigious 20 tackles and also carrying strongly, his leadership skills to the fore.
He’s a player Hayward has called exceptional and likened to Sam Warburton and Ellis Jenkins, but the question for Mann is how he maintains his development.
