Ben Carter has seized his Six Nations opportunity with Wales after delivering a standout performance. The Dragons lock finished with 50 tackles, 19 carries and nine gainline breaks across the tournament. Carter has made up for lost time after a stop-start international career since his 2021 debut against Canada, showing his resilience and determination to establish himself at international level.

Last summer, Carter suffered a head injury after just 27 seconds in Japan, but he's now the first-choice lock. Steve Tandy's side faces Barbarians, Fiji, Argentina and South Africa in June and July. Carter faces competition from fit-again Teddy Williams, though he remains confident about his international future with Wales after positive performances.

Carter will also aim to help the Dragons finish above Scarlets in the URC standings. The Welsh side travel to Paris to face Stade Francais in the Challenge Cup last 16 this weekend. Carter's impressive form follows a campaign where he hit 82 rucks in attack and 24 in defense, showing his all-around capabilities for club and country as he seeks more success.
