“When Ross came to Hartpury, he was part of the Ospreys set-up but they released him because at the time he was a full-back and he probably won’t mind me saying he was a pretty average one at that,” Martinovic said. “So we moved from full-back to back row and now he is an international player for Wales.

“Would he have made it had he stayed in Wales? Who knows. He was a guy who played for England Under-18s and Under-20s but ultimately decided to play for the country of his birth and good luck to him for that. You have to follow your heart.”
