Wales U20s star Louie Hennessey has signed a loan deal with Cardiff Rugby from Bath, adding excitement ahead of the upcoming derby match
Cardiff: Big news in the rugby world! Louie Hennessey, a talented centre from the Wales U20s, has joined Cardiff Rugby on a short-term loan from Bath. This 20-year-old is already training with Cardiff, gearing up for their derby against the Dragons on Boxing Day.
Hennessey is originally from Cardiff but moved to Bath a couple of years ago. He’s a powerful player, standing at 6ft 3in and weighing 16st 4lbs. He’s known for his ability to break through defenses and make plays for his teammates.
Bath’s coach, Johann van Graan, rates him highly, and even though he signed a new long-term deal last month, it’s a smart move for him to get some game time with Cardiff. He’s got a unique style, especially with his decision-making under pressure and his long-arm offload, which reminds folks of the legendary Sonny Bill Williams.
Cardiff has some solid centre options, but Hennessey brings a fresh perspective to the team. Plus, there’s a lot of buzz about the upcoming match where Wales No. 8s Aaron Wainwright and Taulupe Faletau will face off. It’s going to be an exciting day for Welsh rugby!
In other news, former Wales centre Scott Williams made a cameo for Pontypool, and Allan Dell has left Glasgow Warriors to explore new opportunities. It’s a busy time in the rugby scene!
