Wales attack coach Matt Sherratt praised Costelow on his return and believes there is competition for the coveted number 10 shirt.<\/p>\n
“There’s a real tussle going on with the 10s at the moment,” said Sherratt.<\/p>\n
“Dan was starting in the autumn and started the Six Nations. Sam has trained the house down and deserved that start. <\/p>\n
“It’s up to the two remaining for this week now to fight it out to start the weekend.”<\/p>\n
Sherratt says he was impressed by Edwards’ reaction after he was dropped for the Scotland game.<\/p>\n
“He was great and I had a good long chat with Dan after the first round of games [against England],” said Sherratt.<\/p>\n
“If you look at all 10s – again, it’s probably all the interest in the Six Nations – and the likes of Fin Smith and Marcus Smith, very rarely does a 10 go all the way through a campaign. <\/p>\n
“Dan had played seven games on the bounce for Wales, which is a good shift for a young lad. <\/p>\n
“There is going to be some rest and rotation because part of the big picture leading up to the World Cup in 2027 is developing squad depth.”<\/p>\n
Edwards has mainly been used in the starting spot by Wales, while Evans has been utilised as a replacement designed to make an impression from the bench.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think that’s been anything we’ve talked about massively,” said Sherratt.<\/p>\n
“We feel sometimes with Jarrod, when the game is broken up, he comes on and there’s clarity in terms of how we need to finish a game. <\/p>\n
“He’s finished games brilliantly, and Japan is the obvious one, but I think back to the last Six Nations as well.<\/p>\n
“He came on at the end of the Scotland game in particular and he gets your attack flowing. <\/p>\n
“So there is a little bit of that with Jarrod, he’s a very good impact player, can cover two positions, but all three 10s are in the mix to start when they are fit.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wales attack coach Matt Sherratt praised Costelow on his return and believes there is competition for the coveted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-454602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
