Devine is a Singapore-born Durham University student who will be part of the Wales squad competing in San Francisco and aiming to emulate the Welsh world champions of 2009. But Sevens success could also bring further personal opportunity as it did for Cross who went on to win an Olympic silver medal in Brazil in 2016, before that proved a springboard to a shock Wales cap in the 15-a-side game last year.

Wales’ first Winter Olympic medallist, Laura Deas, has been appointed to the UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) Athlete Commission as it seeks to strengthen the athlete voice within anti-doping.

The Aussie connection at Glamorgan will be further strengthened on Friday night when Test batsman Joe Burns makes his debut at home against Somerset. Alun Rhys Chivers meets the man Glamorgan hope can guide them to another Finals Day later this summer. Joe Burns was getting ready for the Australian cricket summer with Queensland when he got the call from his manager to fly to Wales to deputise for injured compatriot Shaun Marsh in Glamorgan’s 11 remaining matches of their Vitality T20 Blast campaign. The right-handed middle-order international batsman looks set to make his debut when Somerset arrive in Sophia Gardens on Friday night, having had just a few days to prepare.

Geraint Thomas gave telling evidence he could yet out-last Chris Froome and win the Tour de France after claiming Stage 12 for back-to-back victories. The Welshman who won Stage 11 yesterday followed that up with an even more impressive triumph in the mountains as he increased his lead in the yellow jersey. Thomas admitted he didn’t really believe he could win at the legendary Alpe d’Huez and again insisted that defending champion Froome was still team leader.

Oli McBurnie can enjoy a breakthrough season for Swansea City in the Championship, believes new manager Graham Potter. McBurnie made 12 appearances for the Swans in the Premier League last season, but was unable to establish himself as a first choice striker under either Paul Clement or Carlos Carvalhal. The Scotland international then went on a successful loan spell at Barnsley, where he scored nine times in just 17 Championship appearances and was duly named the Tykes’ player of the season.

Welsh drivers Melvyn Evans and Jason Pritchard head the entry list for this Saturday’s Carryduff Folklift Down Rally – but there is a surprise further down the order, as Matt Edwards (who leads both the Prestone MSA British Rally Championship and Jordan Road Surfacing BTRDA Rally Series in the drivers’ standings) contests the event as a co-driver! Evans heads the 130 car field in a Fiesta WRC, on what will be his first appearance on a Northern Ireland special stage since the 2009 Circuit of Ireland. With 15 World Rally Cars, more than a dozen highly modified class B14 cars and a sprinkling of powerful R5 cars on the entry list, victory for the experienced Llanwrda driver (co-driven by Mark Glennerster) will not be easily achieved. One of his main rivals will come from Builth Wells, as Pritchard attempts to retake the lead of the Protyre MSA Asphalt Rally Championship. Co-driven by Phil Clarke, he will be at the wheel of his Manx National winning North Road Garage Ford Focus WRC.

Co-driven by Dale Bowen, the reigning MSA Junior Rallycross champion emerged from a very hot and dusty opening stage sixth in class and 64th overall, and from there worked his way up the leaderboard in impressive style.
