Just 12 months ago Cardiff prop Keiron Assiratti was wondering whether he had any future in rugby.

Now the Wales tight-head finds himself an important player in Warren Gatland's set-up going into the Six Nations trip to Ireland next Saturday.

"It's a big change," said Assiratti.

"This time 12 months ago, I didn't know what I was doing with my rugby. I didn't know what was going to happen last year.

"Now, when I think about what could have been and what is happening, I'm glad I stuck at it.

"I can say I'm doing quite well, so it's been a big turnaround."

A year ago Assiratti was battling uncertainty over his future with financial issues over new contracts dominating the Welsh rugby landscape.

Assiratti was struggling to be a regular regional starter and unsure whether he would be offered a new deal.

"I wasn't playing at all in the first half of last season and it was frustrating," said Assiratti.

"It was hard to keep going. I didn't know what I was going to do. I just had to play as well as I could and see what happened."
