Wales star shows off outrageous body transformation ahead of 2023 Rugby World Cup

Davies joined the Scarlets Academy in 2006 and is one of a number who have graduated to full international honours.

The Newcastle Emlyn product made his Wales debut against the Springboks in Durban in 2014 and enjoyed an impressive World Cup the following year, scoring a memorable try in the win over England at Twickenham.

Was called up to the British & Irish Lions squad in New Zealand in 2017, but didn’t manage to get any rugby.

A regular in the Wales No. 9 jersey and first choice at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, Davies is regarded as one of the most dangerous attacking scrum-halves in the European game and was one of four Scarlets selected in Warren Gatland's Lions squad for the 2021 tour of South Africa.

To cut a long story short, here are five rugby players who are more ripped than anyone would expect.

They don't make props like they used too. Lahiff (left) looks incredible.

The Wales fullback isn’t the biggest on the list, not by a long shot. Halfpenny has put on some serious size over the years and is a solid unit on the field. He has a great shape and very lean, women’s choice it seems!

Less Guinness and more hard work has seen the former Wales star transform himself during lockdown. He looks incredible!

The former England centre has shared a photo of his current physique and it’s impressive to say the least!

is a huge carrier, massive in the scrum and is renowned for his freakish ability in the gym.
