Team-mates hope Hawkins will return to Wales squad

Exeter duo Dafydd Jenkins and Christ Tshiunza hope Joe Hawkins will be allowed to join them in the Wales squad at some stage.

Following his move from Ospreys to Exeter in 2023, centre Hawkins was deemed ineligible to play for Wales by Welsh rugby's Professional Rugby Board (PRB) because of the 25-cap rule.

The rule says players who have fewer than 25 caps are unavailable to play for Wales if they are not involved with a Welsh club.

Jenkins and Tshiunza were speaking to this week's Scrum V podcast.
