Ospreys star addresses his 14 month Wales wilderness and explains why he won't be ringing Wayne Pivac about it

Nicky Smith has been overlooked for the recent Wales squad. He is determined to be selected for a tour to South Africa. Ospreys prop is not satisfied with his game. Thomas will be absent for O Spreys' match against the Lions on Saturday. The team lost all four games against South African opposition last season. They play the match in Swansea in round two of the United Rugby Championship. It is the first time the team has played there since the 1990s. There are no plans to talk to Wayne Pivac about his selection. Davies called the head coach after being overlooked. Smith is still determined.
