After losing an opener against South Africa (24-14) his country topped their pool on Saturday with wins against England (22-0) and Portugal (15-14), the results seeing them qualify for Sunday's quarter-finals. Drawn against Scotland.

Rhodri was one of the try scorers in a 15-5 win which enabled Wales to deservedly secure a first-ever semi-final place in the main competition of an IRB Sevens Tournament. That particular contest was lost 24-7 to Fiji, it no disgrace against a William Ryder inspired side.

This coming weekend sees that the last round of the 2006-07 IRB series being played at Murrayfield , with Fiji, despite having lost to close rivals New Zealand in the Twickenham final, the likely favourites to retain their top of the table position for the second year running.
