Davies says he's still unsure of his Wales status

WELSH international fly-half Sam Davies has admitted he is unsure over whether he is eligible to still represent Wales after another hugely impressive season in France.

Davies left Wales to join Pro D2 side Grenoble in the summer of 2023 and has played, by his own admission, the best rugby of career since making the move.

After being named the league's best player in his first season at the club, he has continued his fine form into his second campaign and has now scored a remarkable 488 points in 49 appearances since joining.

Grenoble finished top of this year's Pro D2 table and are pushing to finally win promotion to the Top 14 after another Davies-inspired performance saw them defeat George North's Provence in the play-off semi-finals to put them one win away from the top flight.

Davies' side have suffered play-off final heartbreak in each of the last two seasons, losing to Oyonnax in 2023 and Vannes in 2024 while also tasting defeat in the second-chance matches against Perpignan and Montpellier respectively.

However, they are up against surprise package Montauban in tomorrow afternoon's final and will be hoping to finally break the curse with the Welshman's help.

"We're all very well aware that this is our third final, but we also feel like this is the most prepared we've been and this is the right time for us," Davies told The Times.

"This will be the most confident that we've been, I'd say, going into a final. At the same time, being fully respectful of our opposition and how well they're playing."
