Ebbw Vale RFC teenager Jared Rosser has been called into the Wales squad for the World Rugby U20 Championship. The 18-year-old replaces wing George Gasson who has been ruled out of the tournament after suffering a hamstring injury in training.

Ebbw Vale RFC teenager Jared Rosser has been called into the Wales squad for the World Rugby U20 Championship.

The 18-year-old replaces wing George Gasson who has been ruled out of the tournament after suffering a hamstring injury in training.

Wales launch their campaign against Ireland next Tuesday at the Manchester City Academy Stadium before facing Georgia and New Zealand in Pool A.

Rosser made his debut for the Steelmen as a then 17-year-old this season scoring the decisive try in their Principality Premiership Play-off semi-final victory against Llandovery.

He then went on to be a member of the victorious Ebbw Vale side which swept aside Pontypridd in the Premiership final at Sardis Road.

Wales U20 team manager Mark Taylor said: “It’s obviously disappointing to lose a player of George’s ability so close to the tournament.

“But Jared is now given an opportunity and his selection is reward after a fine season with Ebbw Vale.”
