Davies gets to heart of mind matters

WHAT is the most important part of a rugby player’s body? His hands? Quick feet? Upper body strength?

None of the above, according to Scarlets head coach Nigel Davies. Instead, he believes the most important part of his job is fine-tuning the minds of his players.

That is because Davies does not deal with ready-made and well-rounded internationals. Rather, the financial constraints placed upon him mean that the former Wales international has to create superstars, convincing youngsters of their worth and desperately hoping they fulfil their talent and reward his belief.
