Rubin Colwill 'a pleasure to work with'
Wales under-21s boss Matty Jones has heaped praise on Rubin Colwill after his two-goal display against Denmark in their Euro qualification opener.
It was a tough start for Wales, taking on top-seeds Denmark, but with the Danes finishing the game with nine players, they might have felt it was an opportunity for three points which went begging. They ended up drawing 2-2 thanks to two penalties from Colwill, one of which he was fouled for.
Speaking of Colwill, Jones said: "
I think he has been a pleasure to work with. He has prepared himself as best as possible. Luckily for Rubin we have been able to have opportunities to capitalise on.
"Who else would you want to take a penalty other than Rubin?"
Clearly, Colwill would have favoured a win over scoring a goal, but it bodes well for Cardiff that he played a full 90 minutes and banged home two from 12 yards out. He remains humble, though.
"I wouldn't say it was brilliant, I'd have preferred the win and not to have scored any goals," Colwill said in his post-match press conference.
"It's good to score, but it's a bit disappointing. We will look to kick on from here. We have showed our character and that we can compete with the best in the group. We are full of confidence.
"It's been really good, a really good bunch of lads and staff, it's like one big family, really, so I've really enjoyed it, to be honest. It's always a pleasure to come away.
"The goal is to play for Cardiff more next year and stay injury-free. Hopefully I can take this forward into the season."

He'll be lucky if gets six minutes on the pitch in most games this season.
