Consistent number eight, played some massive games for Bridgend last season. Now Wales qualified.
Nathan Budgett
Number Eight
27
6ft 5ins
17st 0lbs
Bald as you like, huge player and vital part of the squad. Improved end to last season, can play anywhere in the back five of the pack.
Mark Lewis
Flanker
    
Youngster who had an impressive under 21 World Cup with Wales. One to watch for the future.
Corry Harris
Flanker
28
6ft 0ins
16st 4lbs
He is everywhere, best number seven I have seen at the brewery in a long while. Will be Wales qualified soon and pushing Martyn Williams for the shirt.
 
Maama Molitika
Flanker
29
6ft 4ins
16st 4lbs
Quick Tongan who took time to adapt to the welsh game, played well for Bridgend and deserves his place.
Richard Parks
Flanker
26
6ft 2ins
16st 6lbs
Stand out hairstyle does not take away from the fact he is a class player, if he plays well enough will be competing for international honours.
Nick Kelly
Flanker / Lock
26
6ft 5ins
17st 3lbs
Hard working Ponty player who can black in both the second and back row. A very useful player to have in the squad.
 
Ryan Jones
Lock
22
6ft 5ins
19st 6lbs
Will be vital during the world cup as cover, come the next world cup he will be in the team.
Deniol Jones
Lock
26
6ft 5ins
18st 6lbs
Just started to re-capture his Ebbw Vale form at the right time, good line out jumper.
Brent Cockbain
Lock
29
6' 8"
19st 4lbs
Qualifies for Wales, playing consistently well for Ponty for the past few seasons may get him a world cup squad place. Has a temper and does occasionally lose it.
 
Robert Sidoli
Lock
24
6ft 6ins
17st 9lbs
Wales top lock, outstanding for Wales in the six nations. Big future, another fighting for lions honours. One of the Best lineout jumper's in the world.
Geraint Morris
Prop
20
    
Promising loose head out injured until November with Ligament damage.
Martin Jones
Prop
23
5ft 11ins
18st 6lbs
Spent the last few seasons at Ebbw Vale, before moving back to the region, where he started his career with Ponty.
Phill Booth
Prop
27
6ft 2ins
18st 1lbs
Ex-scarlet, we won’t hold that against him, 110% effort and mobile. Need's to put personal problems behind him.
Gethin Jenkins
Prop
22
6ft 2ins
18st 3lbs
22 and first choice Wales tight head! He will be world class in a few years and if he stays injury free will amass cap after cap. Lions tour a possibility. Can feature on both sides of the front row.
 
Mefin Davies
Hooker
24
5ft 10ins
15st 0lbs
Will need a good season to justify Gareth Williams going to Cardiff. Tough player, years of hard graft granted him his Wales honours.
 
Matthew Rees
Hooker
31
 6ft 2ins 15st 4lbs
"Smiler" is in contention for a spot in Wales's World cup squad, which is quite am achievement for a youngster who's rarely had much first class rugby.
 
Andrew Joy
Hooker
25
5ft 10ins
18st 8lbs
Back up to Mefin Davies, decent English hooker.
