Rubin Colwill just casually dropping a match-winner of a display for the 21s

If you’ve not watched him this season you could just look at his numbers and say they aren’t good enough (right to an extent. He should have more g/a). But he’s playing the best football of his career

Ruben scored and made Koumas' winner for Wales U-21s tonight at Newport in the 2-1 result over Lithuania tonight.

Koumas might be one for Cardiff to look to borrow from Liverpool next season.

If Koumas could perform even half as well as his dad did on his first loan spell at City then I'd love to see him in a Cardiff shirt

I just think the lad needs a proper preseason schedule. He still looks a baby and I think he is a big baby and not in a derogative way. He was growing without the muscle tone to go with it. The club has taken their time with him and hopefully, that pays off.

He broke through during Mad Mick but has he ever had an injury-free summer?

Rubin Colwill is returning to the Wales squad for Tuesday's Euro 2024 play-off final against Poland at Cardiff City Stadium.

The Cardiff City forward scored for Wales Under-21s in their 2-1 Euro 2025 Under-21 Championship qualifiers win over Lithuania in Newport on Friday.

Colwill, 21, was switched to the U21s from the senior squad for Thursday's 4-1 semi-final victory over Finland.

"He will be back with the senior squad," said U21s boss Matthew Jones.

"The alignment, I feel, has never been better between the two sides, because of the relationships with each other, we train with each other.

"It's all been done deliberately so [Wales senior manager] Rob Page can cast his eyes and see when he needs to make a decision.

"It's working really well, we have to trust each other, there has to be a plan in place to manage them."

Page watched the Welsh youngsters' victory at Rodney Parade, as did senior squad member Charlie Savage, of Reading, who has been a key member of the U21 squad, but earned his first full cap in October's 4-0 win over Gibraltar.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales Sport after the win which took Wales U21 to the top of their group, Jones said: "Charlie's plan is a little bit different.

"He's had an opportunity to be on the bench [against Finland] and that could be the same on Tuesday.

"All we must do is wish these lads well and make sure we're here to support them and give them absolutely everything.

"Performances like this don't go amiss, Pagey was here tonight with the management staff, there's no better feeling looking across the pitch and seeing that as well."

As Colwill and Savage begin preparations for Tuesday night's game with Poland, a reduced Wales under-21s squad will head off to Antalya, in Turkey for a friendly with Olympic-bound Morocco Under-23s, also on Tuesday.

But they will travel as leaders of qualifying Group I, three points ahead of Denmark, who have two games in hand.

Jones' squad have two games left to play - away to Iceland in September and home against Czech Republic in October.
