TAVIS Knoyle says the Nigel Davies factor helped convince him to move from the Scarlets to Gloucester. The Cherry and Whites have confirmed that the nine-cap Wales international has joined them on a two-year contract. The move allows the World Cup player to renew links with Davies, his ex-Scarlets boss, who took over at Kingsholm last summer.

OPPORTUNITY is knocking in Japan next month as Wales's next generation look to make a name for themselves in the Test arena. That is the view of Wales assistant coach Mark Jones ahead of the two-Test tour. Wales will be without 15 British Lions, experienced players like Ryan Jones, James Hook, Matthew Rees and Paul James and injured Scarlets trio Rhys Priestland, Ken Owens and Scott Williams for the trip to the Far East. But Jones insists the new breed are ready to emerge from the shadows. [...]
