Our guest this week is Aled Thomas. Aled came to London Welsh in 2007 after a few years at Newport Gwent Dragons. Still a young lad at 22 and wanting regular rugby at 10 for a club that was going places; and he chose right in London Welsh as this was their first season as a professional squad. During his first season at the club, he also went on to win the World 7's in Dubai with another club stalwart in Lee Beech. Three seasons for the club and he was offered a contract to go back to Scarlets to play Pro 12 which he took as World Cup cover for some of their Welsh Internationals, but played in the majority of their games.
