He's going to a World Cup.
A world champion with England Under-20s seven years ago but now going with Wales after career put on hold due to cancer.

He's going to a World Cup.
A world champion with England Under-20s seven years ago but now going with Wales after career put on hold due to cancer.
He is another who hasn't had much action this summer but he's an experienced head for other younger players to follow.
Joe Roberts and Tom Rogers miss out.
Never a doubt about this one really.
It's a fourth World Cup for North and he must be starting to have a look at Shane Williams' try-scoring record.
However that means no Max Llewellyn.
He's in!
I was worried that Anscombe's inclusion would squeeze out Halfpenny but he's one of the best defensive full-backs around.
And one demon boot.
A century of caps and counting...
Another who must have been worried after his howler on Saturday gifted South Africa a try.
But you can't be without someone of that speed and size.
If there were any doubts, he did enough against South Africa despite a yellow card and head injury.
A third World Cup for the Scarlet.
But that means no Alex Cuthbert.
He may have worried that the South Africa game had cost him, but he's in as third fly-half - ahead of Owen Williams.
Most-capped player in the team
Hasn't played at all and is another injury worry for Gatland but he's one of the three fly-halves.
That could be bad for Leigh Halfpenny.
Never really in doubt

He was sensational against England in the absence of Faletau and could be crucial in France if the British & Irish Lion remains injured.
A second World Cup for the Dragon.
Young and athletic... he's got the nod ahead of Taine Plumtree.
His Swansea father will be jumping for joy.
He wasn't happy when his son opted to play for England nine years ago but now he will wear the Three Feathers on his chest at a World Cup.
Sured up the scrum every time he came on.
Another Ospreys prop heading to France.
Ospreys prop is now among the most experienced player in that Wales front-row.
It's been a long way back for the now ex-Dragons lock but he'll provide some much needed leadership... and grunt.
Interesting call. He's hardly had a sniff during the warm up.
