History-hunting Wales wing Adams setting PBs at 31

Adams returns to the Cardiff starting line-up after a frustrating spell on the sidelines with a neck spasm and pair of concussions, the first in training and second against Glasgow in round 17.

Those injuries came after the wing looked back to his best during the Six Nations when playing every minute and scoring two tries.

Scrum-half Tomos Williams is the only back in Wales' summer squad who is older than 31-year-old Adams, but age has not affected his eye for the line.

He is quick to point to the influence of the strength and conditioning team at Cardiff, and especially James Nolan's work with the backs.

"He has made a massive different to how I feel and move. He has been massive in keeping me healthy and sharp," said Adams, who signed a contract extension in April.

"You probably have to do the extra bits more as you get older, but around five or six weeks ago we looked through different stats.

"We do a lot of speed gate timing, movement, power and explosive stuff. I am miles better now than I ever have been.

"It goes to show that it doesn't matter where you are in your career, you can still get better when you buy into something."

Adams will hope to show that acceleration if he gets another late try-scoring chance in a South African corner almost four years after one of Wales' finest hours.
