Bio
Matthew Rees has been one of the most committed hookers in Europe over recent seasons. He has spent his career with the Scarlets since his move from the Celtic Warriors in 2004, and his form was rewarded with a call-up to play the USA in 2005. Rees has since gone on to claim over 50 caps for his country as well as appear in an all-Wales front row for the British and Irish Lions against South Africa in 2009. He has also been Wales' Captain since November 2010. Rees made three appearances at the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
