Life & Career

Phillips was involved in a controversy when he was 13. After he starred in a game where his school Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera thrashed south London private school Dulwich College. Dulwich then approached Phillips and offered him a scholarship, without even telling his school. The authorities at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera were angered by the offer, accusing Dulwich of trying to 'poach' Phillips.^[1]

Phillips made his debut for the Ospreys regional team in 2008, but spent most of his time with the region playing in the Principality Premiership, turning out for Neath, Tonmawr and Bridgend. In May 2012 Phillips joined the Scarlets ^[2]

International

Phillips made his first Wales under-20 appearance in Wales' first game in the 2009 under-20 Six Nations, a 18 – 17 loss to Scotland under-20's, by scoring two tries.

On 22 December 2009 he was named in the Wales Under 20 Squad for the 2010 Under-20 Six Nations tournament.^[3]

On January 18, 2010, Phillips was one of 2 shock call ups to the Wales national rugby union team for the 2010 Six Nations squad. The other shock call up was his 17 year old team mate Tom Prydie.^[4]
