GARETH Wyatt has been capped twice by Wales as far apart as 1997 and 2003, but the Newport Gwent Dragons winger still hasn't given up on adding to that surprisingly meagre tally.

The fleet-footed Wyatt, just short of his 28th birthday, could be in business before long, too, if he maintains his current form, for being 'small' is back in business again.

Shane Williams is breaking the mould for Wales by showing up the theory 'big is beautiful' as he has dazzled the opposition with a remarkable record of 23 tries in 26 appearances for Wales.

Kevin Morgan, too, has impressed with the Dragons since switching from full back to wing and is the leading try scorer in the Celtic League with nine to his credit, while also looking the part there in a cameo performance for Wales in Rome last Saturday.

"It would be great to be part of the Wales set-up again," said Wyatt. "Their style of play suits the outside backs, but the guys there (Hal Luscombe is a third Dragons player involved and a regular on the Wales wing) are playing exceptionally well.

"All I can do is perform well, it's all about consistency and a bit of luck, maybe I'll get the chance. Hal and Kevin are both good players, and you've got to be able to adapt because most backs now are capable of playing in more than one position and Hal and Kevin are both great players who deserve to be where they are."

Wyatt, who joined the Dragons in early summer last year slightly ahead of his former Pontypridd and Celtic Warriors teammate Morgan, also gives the thumbs-up to the Dragons. "We have set ourselves high goals here, a couple of games in Europe could have gone the other way and we'd be in the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup," he said.

"We'll be looking to go a step further next season and we've got a good chance the longer the team stick together.

"So far things are looking good with the Dragons, the main thing is making sure of that European spot next season.

"And there's also the Celtic Cup at the end of the season. The English play-offs at Twickenham are seen as a showpiece and everyone remembers the winner.

"We have got a side capable of winning the Celtic Cup, so there's a lot of good things to look forward to."

Wyatt will be up against some gifted Ulster backs like David Humphreys and Kevin Maggs at Rodney Parade tomorrow night, but he laments the loss of so many leading Dragons players.

"They are a very strong side and are not too affected by players going into the Irish squad," he said.

"But we can see where the Welsh set-up are coming from and with Stephen Jones playing in France it would be silly to release Ceri (Sweeney). If both play and pick up bumps it would leave Wales in a sorry state.

"It's a a pity some couldn't be released, but it's down to the powers that be, all we can do is crack on and make sure we don't let ourselves down."
