Charvis Interests Regions

Colin Charvis's inability to find a Welsh region is well documented, but interest from three of them looks set to end his exile in France.

Welsh captain Charvis was a casualty of Swansea's administration back in April last year, at the time few could have imagined the rollercoaster ride he would go on over the next year.

Charvis who had another fine game for Wales on Sunday is attracting interest from a trio of regions, one of which has been confirmed as Llanelli. Speculation would suggest the other two are the Celtic Warriors and Newport Gwent Dragons.

Peter Underhill, Charvis's agent was in a bouyant mood; "It's refreshing to see that the regions have finally recognised the brilliance of the work Colin has been doing on the field for Wales.

" He bust his nose in the first eight minutes against France on Sunday, but kept coming back on. If that is not commitment to the team, I don't know what is.

" It's about time that people stood up and took note of his efforts."

Underhill also warned of the growing interest in France though;

"There are three top French sides who will sign him tomorrow if we want them to," he said.

" But I hope he can come back to play in Wales next season, although there is a lot to talk about before that can happen.

" We have got to look at what is best for Colin at this stage of his career."
