MEET the teenage sensation who is being hailed as a prospect with the potential to be the next Shane Williams or Jason Robin-son.

Harry Robinson, who turned 19 last month, could become the latest Wales wing with the rugby world at his feet. The Cardiff Blues flyer is in the running to win his first cap against the Barbarians next month at the Millennium Stadium after just a handful of appearances for the region.

Wales coach Warren Gatland has catapulted three green wings to superstardom after they took their opportunities in devastating fashion.

Leigh Halfpenny was 19 when he got his big break against the Springboks in 2008 and hasn’t looked back.

The phenomenal George North was just 18 when he celebrated his first cap with two tries against South Africa two years ago.

And Alex Cuthbert was 21 when he got his first cap against Australia before Christmas, going from relative obscurity to Grand Slam try-scoring hero against France just a few months later.

Now caretaker coach Rob Howley could be the latest to give youth a chance with Robinson who, at 5ft 10in and 12st 13lb, is more akin to Halfpenny, now converted to fullback, than Wales’ giant wings North, 6ft 4in and 17st 3lb, and Cuthbert, 6ft 6in and 16st 3lb.

The modest Robinson, from Radyr, whose father Justin played for Newbridge and Pontypridd as an outside-half and wing in the 1970s and 1980s, is flattered to be compared with Williams and England 2003 World Cup winner Robinson.

“It’s a great privilege and an honour when people say things like that about me,” he said. “Being compared to Shane Williams and Jason Robinson is a great thing, so I’m pleased with that.

“I don’t think anybody can be as good as Shane’s been over his career – I definitely look up to Shane, the style that he plays, always an attacking threat, always using his feet.

“I played against Shane for the Ospreys and I was quite surprised by just how much he moves around the pitch – I looked up and he was somewhere else. He’s a real good person to look up to.”

If Robinson is called up by Wales for the Baa-Baas game, he is likely to face his hero.

“It’s a bit of daunting prospect that I could be up against Shane in the Barbarians game if I get called up by Wales,” he said.

“But if it does happen, I’ve watched him for so many years I think I’ll try and work out what he’s going to do.”

If Robinson misses out on that match and Wales’ three-Test tour of Australia, he will be part of the Under-20s squad heading off to South Africa at the end of the month for the IRB Junior World Championships.

“I’m not sure what the plan is for me at the moment, if I’m going to play the Barbarians or train until they go out to Australia – I’m not totally sure,” he said.

“Whatever happens, if it is going with the Under-20s then I’m happy playing with them – they are the boys I’ve played with since I was 15, 16 – playing for the U-20s is a great achievement.”
