December4th actually and I would guess there is no if he is still in about it ! He has accepted an invitation , one of the most coveted invitations in British rugby. I can't imagine his already very low stock in rugby circles being enhanced if he dropped out because he is dancing !!
I cannot see how is he is going to combine training for SCD with regaining match fitness for playing with the Barbarians .
He might be fit and have strength but that is not the same as being match ready.
Some disgruntlemnt !!!! major problems with a 100ft high poster of Gav in the new kit when he hasn't played for 18months let alone played internationally .
Huge disappointment with the WRU , slap in the face for the rest of the team .
Why hasn't he played ? he was injured ,a knee injury , quite a nasty one ,and then he requested time off from the game .
He was allowed that time by Ospreys and agreed to take no pay .
Now he is apparently planning to sue Ospreys for non payment of wages .
Most of his dressing room colleagues regard him as arrogant and there has always been friction over him in the team .Basically he needs to decide if he wants to be a rugby player or a celebrity , and he has needed to do that for some years. The comment was made to me 3 years ago by a very eminent ex Wales international
