HE’S got a grey Wales jersey waiting to be framed but Newport Gwent Dragons wing Hallam Amos is desperate to finally add a red one to his collection by tackling Ireland this summer.

The 20-year-old will head to Switzerland with the national squad next week as preparations intensify for the World Cup.

Conditioning dominates the schedule at the moment but thoughts will soon turn to rugby with Amos likely to get out in the middle in August.

He was an unused member of Warren Gatland’s squad for the Six Nations but, with Liam Williams sidelined, looks sure to feature against the Irish in August, adding to the solitary cap he won against Tonga in the autumn of 2013.

There is little chance of the talented Amos being a one-cap wonder but, like a cricketer stuck on a pair, the winger wants to ease the nerves.

“It’s been a year and a half now and it would be lovely to play in those Ireland games,” said the reigning Argus Dragon of the Year. “That’s my aim for the summer, to finally stop being a one-cap wonder!

“The jersey from the Tonga game is at home. I’ve got the one from the final of the Junior World Championship framed and I will do the same with it at some point.

“It was a grey shirt so I’d like to get a red one – the real iconic image of Welsh rugby – at some point.”

Amos’ chances of playing against the Six Nations champions in Cardiff on Saturday, August 8 and Dublin on Saturday, August 29 have been boosted by Williams’ foot injury.

The Scarlets man will be out until at least September but Amos, who is on a national dual contract, doesn’t expect to profit from his absence when Gatland names his final 31 at the end of August.

“I am sure Liam will be fit and raring to go for the World Cup,” said Amos. “He was in such good form last season and the whole squad wants him to be fit.

“From my point of view we are the same position but I am not looking at that as an opportunity. I am sure he will be back for the World Cup.”

While his Wales teammates switched off at the end of the Guinness Pro12 before going back into camp, it has been non-stop for Amos.

The winger missed the Dragons’ last game of the season at Munster while revising for exams at the end of his second year of medicine studies at Cardiff University and faces a nervous wait in the Alps.

The former Monmouth School head boy said: “I will get the results halfway through the camp in Switzerland so it will either make it a little bit easier out there or I will start dreading the revision starting again!

“Hopefully I won’t have re-sits. If I do then they will be around the time of the first Ireland Test.

“It’s been good and it’s been tough. I’m busy all the time but I had two weeks off rugby before the exams to knuckle down when I was in the library 12 hours a day.”

Now Amos hopes it will be Gatland, not his lecturers, setting the summer studies.
