Player Profiles

Ashley Wells

The giant prop, 25, who played his rugby for South African provincial side Wildeklawer Griquas, can cover both sides of the scrum but is mainly classed as a tight-head.

Wells was included in the Stormers 2010 training squad and helped the Griquas to the semi-finals of the Vodacom Cup.

Standing 6ft 2in and weighing nearly 19 stones, he is described as a dynamic ball carrier and good scrummager and has a high work rate around the pitch.
