Delme Parfitt urges Wales boss Warren Gatland not to count Andy Powell out after reports emerged linking the player with a move to France in The Western Mail.
"With Wales’ disintegrating back row not far from the top of Warren Gatland’s ‘to-do’ list, the demise of Andy Powell since his buggygate indiscretion comes as proof that, sometimes in professional rugby coaching, it never rains but it pours.
"Reports emerged yesterday that Powell has held talks about a move to French club Agen, which was a departure from months of speculation about an imminent defection to rugby league with the Crusaders. Whatever the substance of either link, one thing appears certain; Powell wants out of his present environment where he has become a fringe player with both the Blues and Wales.
"There will be those who bid him good riddance because the former Newport, Leicester and Beziers player’s style is far too crude for some."
