Dream Team - Brett Davey

Dream Team - Brett Davey

User 933753 Jun 2014 - 05:18

We will be asking several past and present players of the Club to take part in a new feature on this website.

We will be asking these players who would be in their Dream XV.

Looking through the archives at Doncaster RFC we found our former coach and Wales A full back Brett Davey's Dream Team which has a massive Beddau look about it.

Note that this team was selected over two years ago.

Brett's team in his own words-

15 Brett Davey – I am going to have to pick myself aren’t I.

14 Gareth Wyatt – The best footballer I had the pleasure to play with for four years. Pass off both hands, kick off both feet, pace and ability to beat a man.

13 Nathan Walters – He was my outside centre when I went to coach my local side, Beddau. Aggressive player with good skills. Defensively excellent. Always made things happen.

12 John Bryant – A hard-nosed 12 who would run through brick walls if needed. Played with chronic knee problems. Coaching Newport nowadays and doing well.

11 Nick Drake – He was an English Schools sprint champion and I played with him in a sevens tournament. Incredibly quick and powerful.

10 Neil Jenkins – A living legend. Kept Wales competitive during the 90s. Still incredibly humble. Also still incredibly tight as well.You won’t catch him buying the first round.

9 Paul John – Loyalty costs nothing and he stayed with Pontypridd when others left. Great player, now coach of Wales’ sevens team.

8 Phil Ager – When we were at Caerphilly he was playing as well as any number eight in Wales. With the right club he would have been awesome.

7 Steven Cole – Was my captain at Beddau. Would never ask a player to do something he wasn’t capable of doing himself. His skills were not the best but he made up for it with the best attitude I have seen from a rugby player. He would lie down in traffic for any one of his players.

6 Dale McIntosh – Along with Paul John, the player I look up to most. Incredibly powerful tackler. Awesome off the field.

5 Andrew Gwilym – The best 20-year-old player I have ever seen. Andrew retired very early. Great story of Alan Davies asking him: “How would you like to play for Wales, sonny?” with his response of: “Nah, can’t be bothered.” Played at Bridgend together.

4 Christian Bundy – Another Beddau product and the only man I know to be capable of playing second row and full-back – he did it equally as well.

3 Ashley Copic – Had his career not been blighted by injury I am sure he would have been spoken of in the same way as the loose-head I have chosen. I reckon he could play at outside half with the amount of ability he had.

2 Mefin Davies – Now at Leicester, but when the Celtic Warriors went bust he was not picked up by any region. Went to England as Wales No 1 hooker and has been terrific for whoever he has played for.

1 Gethin Jenkins – The best loose-head who has ever played the game. Incredible workrate. Exceptional for the last eight years.

There will be more dream teams over the next few weeks.
