The Western Mail's Simon Thomas talks to Wales' new wing sensation George North following his outstanding debut in defeat to South Africa.
"At the end of last season, George North was playing for his school side and dreaming of turning out for the Scarlets.
Fast forward six months and he is a new star of Welsh rugby, having scored two tries on his Test debut against South Africa at the weekend.
The 18-year-old took just five minutes to make his mark on the international stage with his first touchdown and struck again midway through the second half to set up a thrilling finale.
“It was a great debut and fantastic to score two tries. I was really happy about that,” said the Rhyl Youth and Llandovery College product
“It’s hard coming from playing schoolboy rugby six months ago to facing the world champions . It is an amazing change."
