Cory Hill released by Wales with 'immediate effect'
By Ian Cameron
Wales second row Cory Hill has been released from their summer training camp after informing Cardiff Blues that he was exploring the possibility of playing abroad.
A statement reads: "Cory Hill has been released from the Wales squad for the summer test matches with immediate effect.
"Former Wales Under 20s player Matthew Screech has been called up to the squad as a replacement."
Cardiff Blues explained in a statement that: "The decision was taken after the second-row informed the Cardiff Blues of his intention to explore a possible opportunity overseas."
The British and Irish Lion second-row came through the pathway at the Cardiff Blues and made 16 first-team appearances before switching to the Dragons via a short stint at Moseley.
He made 110 appearances during seven years at Rodney Parade, captaining the region during the last three seasons and has established himself on the international stage.
Last year he made the move back to the Welsh capital.

Well said TJ. You can be proud of your AB career and your passion for the country, the AB team and Canes and Wellington has always been unquestioned. Enjoy the new chapter(s).
Go to commentsAgree with Wilson B- at best. And that is down to skilled individual players who know how to play the game - not a cohesive squad who know their roles and game plan. For those who claim that takes time to develop, the process is to keep the game plan simple at first and add layers as the squad gels and settles in to the new systems. Lack of progress against the rush D, lack of penetration and innovation in the mid-field, basic skill errors and loose forwards coming second in most big games all still evident in game 14 of the season. Hard to see significant measureable progress.
