Jarrod Evans impressed with a stunning pass, sparking calls for his selection in the Welsh squad for the Six Nations
Newcastle: On Friday night, Jarrod Evans wowed rugby fans with a brilliant pass that set up a try for Marcus Smith during Harlequins’ victory over Newcastle. It was one of those moments that just makes you sit up and take notice.
Evans, who has eight caps for Wales, has been having a fantastic season. His performances have really caught the eye, and this game was no exception. The rugby community was buzzing after he pulled off a jaw-dropping play that led to Smith scoring under the posts.
With the score tied at 7-7 just before halftime, Evans found himself in a tight spot. But instead of panicking, he showed incredible skill. He looped a perfectly weighted pass over four defenders, allowing Smith to run in without breaking stride. It was a thing of beauty!
The commentator couldn’t help but rave about it, saying, “What a ball that is!” Former England player Ben Kay echoed the sentiment, calling it “world class.” Everyone was just blown away by how Evans read the game and executed that pass.
Harlequins ended up winning 38-14, but that moment was the highlight. Fans on social media were quick to call for Wales coach Warren Gatland to include Evans in the upcoming Six Nations squad. They were adamant that he’s too good to overlook.
Former Wales fly-half Lee Jarvis said, “No other outside half in the UK can make that pass.” Others chimed in, insisting that Evans should be the starting 10 for Wales moving forward. It’s clear that people are excited about his talent.
Gatland has been trying different players in the No.10 position, but it hasn’t always worked out. There was some uncertainty about Evans’ eligibility, but it turns out he’s good to go. He’s been open about wanting to play for Wales and is eager to prove himself.
As Gatland prepares to announce his squad soon, fans are hopeful that Evans will finally get another chance to wear the Welsh jersey. It’s been a while since his last cap in 2021, and everyone is rooting for him to make a comeback.
