Davies is set to become the fourth Welshman to make a century of appearances for his country against Belgium, following Gareth Bale, Chris Gunter and Wayne Hennessey.

The 32-year-old looks on course to break Bale's 111-cap record with the Wales captain as consistent as ever, according to Dragons manager Bellamy.

Bellamy said: "I have loved him. As a coach, he is such a big help. I lean on him a lot.

"He's the voice for a lot of players. He is the main part of the leadership group and when he talks, you listen.

"He's not playing every week for his club and that could be a very difficult period for some individuals.
