Czekaj returns to Wales squad
12 May 2009, 12:04 pm
By
Chris Czekaj is among ten Blues players to be selected for Wales' summer tour of North America.
Wales caretaker coach McBryde has today named a squad of 32 to tour Canada and USA this summer, led by Osprey Ryan Jones, and including seven currently uncapped players.
Blues Fly Half Nicky Robinson will return to international duty for the first time since the 2007 summer tour to Argentina and he will be welcomed back alongside another long term absentee in wing Chris Czekaj, who was last capped on tour against Australia in 2008 before suffering long term injury.
The Blues also supply wing Richard Mustoe and back row Sam Warburton, both in with a chance of winning their first international caps on tour. Also called up from the region are hooker Gareth Williams and locks Deiniol Jones and Bradley Davies with John Yapp keeping his front row spot. players.
"We have a duty to continue with the professionalism, dedication and ruthlessness this Wales squad has shown over the past two seasons on this tour," said McBryde.
"We have approached the task of selecting the right blend of youth and experience with great pride and with one eye on the future, but a clear focus on the task ahead.
"We are playing two tests where the opposition will be gunning for us in their own back yard and we have to show the respect we have for this Wales jersey and put in two performances to make the nation proud.
"But we also have the Wales captain on tour with us, some exciting talent and a wealth of experience in our back line and a number of players coming back to the international scene with something to prove and, we believe, something important to offer to the future."
Eight players from the Wales U20 squads in the last two seasons have made the squad, including xx Cardiff Blues players.
2008: Sam Warburton, (Six Nations, JWC), skippered Wales to the last four of the inaugural IRB Junior World Championship in Wales.
2007: Tom James and Bradley Davies were two of the Wales Under 20 squad two seasons ago, that travelled to North America.
2006: Chris Zzekaj played for Wales Under 21 in 2006, alongside fellow 2009 North America tourists Andrew Bishop and James Hook, and Lions squad members Jamie Roberts and Alun-Wyn Jones.
Of those selected, players from the Scarlets or the Dragons will miss out on the tour - although remaining behind on standby - allowing them to play for their region in the Heineken Cup 24th qualification play-off match, scheduled for the same day as the first Test on tour against Canada.
