Blair Murray believes size is not everything as he looks to win back his starting spot with Wales.
The Scarlets back enjoyed a rapid rise on the Test stage by featuring in all 14 internationals after making his debut against Fiji in 2024.
Murray started at full-back in Steve Tandy’s first four games but has missed out on the XV in the Six Nations.
The 24-year-old sat out losses to England and France before featuring as a replacement on the wing against Scotland in round three.
At 5ft 8ins, Murray’s aerial prowess has been one of the main reasons for missing out with Louis Rees-Zammit, 6ft 2ins, getting the nod at 15.
However, the Scarlets man believe his game-breaking abilities give him a shot at earning a return to Wales’ starting line-up against Ireland next Friday (20:10 GMT).
“I’d like to think I am in the squad for a reason,” said Murray. “I bring something that other players don’t, so I just hope I get that opportunity.
“Steve has been transparent and kept it clear in terms of selection, so I just have to train my way back in.”
