RYAN'S BLIND FAITH

"I still believe, in the four or five years I have still got left playing for Wales, there will be another chance to get to a finals. I intend to be around to see it happen. When I finish I will be able to say 'I have done everything I can for my country', I am sure of that.

"But I am a long way from that point yet, I am thinking of what I can still achieve for Wales and the end is a long way off. I will be sticking with the Wales set-up right to the end of my career. It is a rebuilding process and I aim to be part of it. The end for me is still four or five years away."
