Wales coach Robin McBryde urges Prince Harry to switch support from England to Wales

Wales forwards coach Robin McBryde calls on Prince Harry to switch allegiance from England to the Dragons following the hosts' early Rugby World Cup exit.

Wales forwards coach Robin McBryde has urged Prince Harry to switch allegiance from England to the Dragons following the host nation's early Rugby World Cup exit.

The 31-year-old was in the crowd at Twickenham on September 26 alongside brother Prince William, who has been rooting for Wales, as Warren Gatland's side sealed a famous 28-25 win over their neighbours.

The Duke of Cambridge also watched Wales beat Fiji last Thursday night in Cardiff and visited the Welsh squad after the match.

McBryde told Wales Online: "It was great to see him in the changing room and hopefully he'll influence Harry to get a Welsh shirt too!

"It would be nice to think fans are supporting us. Both my sisters have partners from England and I have a brother-in-law who is English. It's not too much to ask as they're so close."

William is vice president of the Welsh Rugby Union and Harry holds a similar role at the Rugby Football Union.
