Dan Evans has received countless messages of support after taking to Twitter to seemingly vent his frustration at being overlooked by Wales yet again.

The 28-year-old full-back has been in terrific form for the Ospreys, scoring two tries against Clermont Auvergne in Swansea the weekend before last and then claiming a try double against reigning European champions Saracens last Saturday.

But when Wales announced their squad for the November Tests, Evans’s name was nowhere to be seen.

It means his long wait for a third Test cap to add to the two he won in 2009 goes on.

Evans has evidently had enough and used social media to apparently express bafflement at his latest rejection.

He tweeted a picture of a man scratching his head in front of an impossibly perplexing mathematical problem.

Above the image, the former Scarlets and Dragons star tweeted: “Trying to figure s**t out”.

Admirers were quick to offer him backing.

The Ospreys Supporters’ Club, with 9,644 Twitters followers, wrote: “Chin up Dan! Your contribution isn’t underestimated by anyone at the Ospreys.”

Myles Davies said: “Gutted for you. No player deserves it more after the performances you’ve put in year after year.”

And Aidan remarked: “Ridiculous decision. Keep the chin up and keep doing what you’re doing bud, you’re flying atm. You cannot beat a man that never gives up.”

There was also a call for Evans to take up a pen in retaliation.

“Come on Dan,” tweeted Jeff Vaughan. “Write a book so we know why you are not in the squad. Total travesty of justice yet again.”

And Shrtstk simply enjoyed Evans’s social media work, saying: “Best tweet I have seen in ages. Subtle but to the point.”

Evans can count himself seriously unlucky to be plying his trade at full-back at the same time as Leigh Halfpenny and Liam Williams.

But the writing was one the wall for him when those two were away with the Lions in the summer and he still didn’t get picked for Wales for their summer tour.

It prompted the thought: ‘If not then, when’.

With James Davies he would be up there in any competition for the title of Wales’s most overlooked player of recent years.

Last term, the ultra-consistent No. 15 said of the selectors: “I haven’t spoken to any of them.

“They just don’t like me and it’s something I have to deal with.

“I’ve upset the wrong person maybe.

“You’ll have to ask them what their opinion of me is.

“I suppose you can get a bit frustrated.

“Even when they (Halfpenny and Williams) were out injured, I still wasn’t being picked.

“So it’s not just Leigh and Liam in front of me.

“Maybe I should be there, but I’m not.”

It's not the first time Evans has taken to social media on the issue of his selection.

In May this year, after being left out of Wales' summer tour squad he tweeted the following....
