Hooker Dee ready for Tonga test

Dragons hooker Elliot Dee is hoping to add to his 12 caps this weekend when Wales face Tonga at the Principality Stadium – admitting he now feels more comfortable in the international set-up.

Wales will name their team at midday today (Thursday) to face Tonga as they bid to make it three wins from three this autumn.

And Dee has his fingers crossed for more involvement as the battle for starting spots heats up.

"Everyone wants to be in that starting XV and wants to represent their country to the best that they can,” he said.

"Last autumn was my first taste of it, and I was dying to get on and get that first cap. As soon as you hit one goal, you set more.

"I had a good season last year, personally, and everything happened quite quickly.

"I feel more comfortable in the squad now. I feel like I belong in the squad, and it's nice to be with the calibre of players that are here. It brings the best out of everybody."

"These kind of games tend to be a bit looser, and they are big, powerful blokes who come right out of the blocks at you," added Dee.

"We know that the first 20 minutes is going to be tough, but we are prepping for that and want to get out and keep performing, rack up another win and move on from there.

"We want to move Tonga around, put in a good performance, score a few tries and be successful."
