WALES Rugby Union international Andy Powell has fuelled speculation surrounding his alleged desire switch codes and join the Crusaders by admitting that he’d “love to play League”.
The 28-year-old has been named in the Wales team to face South Africa this summer, but still harbours a desire to try his hand in Super League.
"I've been up to Wrexham a few times to watch Alfie (Gareth Thomas) play and he's really enjoying himself,” said Powell.
"League is about getting the ball* in hand and it's a straight-on game that matches my style.
"As a kid I always followed league and I also played it - around under-14 level. It's something I'd like to do. I'm sure I will do it - at some point in the next year or so.” continued Powell, on the move that would see him re-united with former Cardiff Blues team-mate Thomas.
Powell has been capped 12 times for his country. and has also played in the Guiness Premiership with Leicester Tigers.
He was stepped-down from International duty earlier this year, after being arrested for stealing and driving a golf buggy while intoxicated, following Wales’ last-minute Six Nations victory over Scotland.
He is represented by Emmanuel Palarino, who played a major role in securing Thomas’ switch to League.
