Grav has also been given the rare honour of kicking off the match where both teams will compete for the Rag Doll – a rugby tradition dating back to 1921.

“I am so grateful to the club and the region for all of their support,” said Grav. “I have been attached to the Scarlets ever since I was a five year-old boy and my father took me on his shoulders to watch the Scarlets play. And I’ve been hooked ever since.

“I never thought I would walk again let alone kick a ball. The tradition and history between Bath and Llanelli is one that is forever, so to be able to play a small part on this occasion means a lot to me.

“I took part in many epics down at Stradey and in Bath and have many marvellous memories but in this professional age it is tremendous to see the friendship is still there.”

Grav will present the rag doll to the victorious captain at the completion of the match.

“I played for the rag doll on many occasions so to be able to present the rag doll to the winners will be an honour and fills me with immense pride,” he said.

Grav’s daughters Manon (12-years-old) and Gwenan (9-years-old) will also be making an appearance as they will be the official mascots for the Scarlets on the day.

“Manon and Gwenan, like their dad and mother, are Scarlet born and Scarlet bred – Scarlets through and through,” said Grav. “And it is a privilege that I will be on the same field as my daughters wearing the Scarlets kit – never in my wildest of wildest dreams would I have imagined that would ever come true.”
