The 22-year-old Gloucester wing dropped his bombshell on Wales head coach Warren Gatland just as he was about to announce his 31-times capped flyer in his squad for the upcoming Six Nations.

Half an hour later, Gatland (inset) had to face the media and explain the incredible turn of events that had led to his star player stepping away from the game he has graced at the highest level for such a short space of time.
