Wales defense trainer Shaun Edwards has hailed Dan Lydiate's impact on the international stadium and stated he be reminiscent him of England World Cup champion Richard Hill.
Newport Gwent Dragons flanker Lydiate is predictable to be named in the Wales starting line-up later today for Friday's RBS 6 Nations opener against England.
And Edwards is looking for the 23-year-old to carry on the form he illustrated in Wales colors in this season's autumn Tests, saying: "I thought Dan was our best player in the autumn international series. The thing about him is he essentially doesn't clutch your eye, which is what a good number six should be like." He added: "If you remember Richard Hill when he was playing for England, you didn't see much of him during the game."
But then you watched it back on tape and all the little bits that put the team together he was doing, like his tackling and cleaning the rocks at the right time.
