Classy player. Enjoyed watching the Welsh contingent at Wire with Bateman, Kevin Ellis, Roland Phillips and 2 magical years of Jonathan Davies.

There aren't many Welsh RU fans who'd disagree with you there.

A quote from another site (a Welsh RU one) I frequent, about this programme.

"Dai Bish. Something else. So many of the players are still angry. Fair dos the the WRU blazers have always been w@nkers".

Here you go, another article on the man. It's from last year, so why Wales Online have re-published it is anyones guess, probably because Wales Online is pretty useless to be honest. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rug ... s-16663444

Sounds like one of those guys who loves keeping his body in top condition and plays sport for the love of it, even when it's just with an amateur club.

If we ever get rugby back how about a half time fitness circuit challenge: Bateman v Chaddy. Worth standing through two boring halves of rugby to see that.

Yep - I'd go for that.

Davies for me would be the best centre not specifically for his centre play - which was top draw - but for his all round game and incredible vision.

Blake would probably be my number 2 and then it's the likes of Bateman, King, Kohe-Love and Bridge.

If I remember rightly Bateman had a body fat percentage of 11 ! Unbelievable for an athlete in a contact sport.
God knows how many multiples of that I am !!

Bateman is such a nice guy too.
