The Wales youngster capped last year who could soon fill Liam Williams' boots

As the ball bounced through the hands of Matthew Morgan, all that was likely going through Tom Rogers' head was making sure he was first to the loose ball.

It's probably only after he scooped it up and walked over for the Scarlets' sixth try in their thrashing of Cardiff at the Arms Park that he considered the fact he's likely never had easier walk-ins than this one. Simply getting over the whitewash at all would have been a welcome feeling, too.

You'd have to go back to the first day of October to find the last time Rogers had crossed for a try. That day, he scored twice against the Emirates Lions.

Since then, he's gone eight games without touching down. That's not the end of the world, of course.

In his breakthrough season last year, he only touched down twice - with his all-round performances doing the talking on the way to a Wales call-up. But getting over for a long-awaited score was fine reward for the 23-year-old.

Certainly, the way he's been performing of late, tries were always going to come. In recent weeks, he's shown the sort of form that made Wayne Pivac sit up and take notice last year.

Last summer's call-up, and the caps against Canada and Argentina that followed, wasn't the smoothest path into Test rugby. It was undoubtedly a massive step up for someone who, at that point, had just played 15 games for the Scarlets.

There were learning curves aplenty, but it was an invaluable experience nonetheless. Since then, he's not featured in a squad as the senior stars returned from the Lions tour of South Africa. Such is the nature of Wales' Test schedule for the next year or so, there's no real way of knowing when Rogers will next be around
