Sonny Parker

Date of birth: 27/08/1977

Position: Centre

Test caps: 24

Test Debut: Romania, 2002

Test Points: 25

Current Club: Ospreys

Strengths: Parker is a dangerous runner and uses his size and power to carry the ball across the gain line and provide a good attacking platform for the team.

Weaknesses: His lack of vision can and does cost Wales on occasions. He is happy to cart the ball up but does so to the detriment of the team when there are better options that he has failed to see.

Likely headline: Sonny brightens up a poor Welsh performance.

Did you know: Having qualified through residency he retired from international duty because of the demands at the end of 2005 but was brought back by Gareth Jenkins for the 2006 season.
