Cockbain ready for All Blacks test

Wales lock Brent Cockbain was born in Coffs Harbour – 400km north of Sydney - and his brother is Australia lock Matt Cockbain, but the 29-year-old is as proud to be Welsh as any man who has pulled on the famous red jersey.

The Celtic Warriors second rower, who has only has three Test caps to his name, is expected to be in the Wales side to face New Zealand in Sydney on November 2, and it is not trans-Tasman rivalry that is driving him.
