Davies makes his first home Test appearance for Wales against Georgia on Saturday, but not in the role Cardiff Blues fans have seen him catch the eye as a ball-handling second row this season. Instead, the 21-year-old – who won his first two caps on tour against Tonga and Samoa this summer – will pack down at No.8.

The Ospreys flanker captains Wales against Georgia at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, an honour he feels comfortable with at the third time of asking.
