Rugby evening headlines as new Scotland star reveals why he couldn't wait for Wales to call and Welsh team suffer heartbreak

Here are today's latest rugby headlines on Wednesday, March 30.

Scarlets prop Javan Sebastian has revealed the two huge decisions which resulted in him becoming a Scotland international.

Although he was born in Bury St Edmunds, England, his upbringing was in Wales, having moved to Carmarthen when he was two, but crucially his father hails from Edinburgh.

“I knew my dad was Scottish right from a young age, but growing up and playing rugby in Wales, it never crossed my mind until I got the call off Gregor Townsend and that’s when the light flicked up top and it just made sense,” he said.

“It was a tough choice. I spoke to my family and to my agent. But I am not young anymore, I am 27. So if Scotland come knocking on my door first, I am not going to wait two or three years down the line for Wales to come knocking. I wanted to start my international career as early as possible.”

Having accepted the Scottish invite, he then had another big call to make last autumn. With his partner expecting their third child, they agreed he should stay in camp and watch the birth on Facetime, enabling him to make his Test debut against Japan in November.

“It was a tough choice, but looking back at it I wouldn’t change a thing, I don’t think my partner would and I don’t think my youngest boy is going to regret it when he’s growing up,” said the tighthead.

“That first cap was crazy. I’d not experienced anything like it. It was sold out, the atmosphere was unbelievable. That really sticks out. It was a massive honour.”
