WORLD CUP WALES
Picture Popham - instant impact at Leeds. (Getty Images)

ALIX POPHAM

Born: 17.10.79
Height: 6ft 3in
Weight: 17st 4lb
Position: Flanker
Club: Leeds
Caps: 4
Points: 5

Was seen as a potential Wales captain when he skippered the international Under-21 side but problems at Newport affected his form and saw him farmed out to Leeds.

He made an instant impact at Headingley and joined them permamently last summer after a string of impressive displays.

Has struggled to force his way into the Wales side on a regular basis and may be restriced to the bench Down Under.

Showed an added string to his bow by playing in the centre for Leeds when injuries struck, but is unlikely to repeat the dose at international level!
