Prydie targets dream end to the season

Tom Prydie hopes a Guinness PRO14 title with the Scarlets can be the start of a magical few weeks with Wales’ summer tour on the horizon.

The 26-year-old will be involved in the Scarlets’ PRO14 semi-final against Glasgow at Scotstoun on Friday night.
And after being absent for three months with an ankle injury Prydie is confident of impressing against a star-studded Glasgow back division.

“They are a great team especially at home,” he said.
“They have a very dangerous back three with DTH Van Der Merwe, Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour. It’s going to be a big challenge for us but we are looking forward to it.

“We are going to have to be at the top of our game to come away with a win. We played them five weeks ago at home so we know what to expect.

“The boys have spoken about last year’s final and what a great day it was. It’s important to the fans so we will do our best to get there.”

Prydie is Wales’ youngest ever international having made his debut at the age of 18 against Italy in the Six Nations. Despite his obvious talents a series of serious injuries have restricted Prydie to just five caps.

But having opted to join the Scarlets last summer the Porthcawl product is confident his career is on an upward trajectory.
“Coming to the Scarlets has opened my eyes to a new way of playing,” he said.

“Sometimes in the past I’ve been guilty of waiting for the ball and chances rather than going there and getting it. If you look at somebody like Steff Evans he’s always looking for the ball and the pops up everywhere.

“Steve has been big on that as well. Against the Cheetahs it could have been my last game of the season so it was about just going out there, getting my hands on the ball and doing as much as I could.

“It was a bit of a surprise when I’d found out I had been selected to play for Wales. It’s going to be a big challenge for me but I am really excited by it.

“Hopefully I can repay the favour to Warren and his team on the summer tour. It’s a huge privilege to be selected for Wales and when you do get picked it’s a bit of a confidence boost as well.”
