Thomas skippers the Welsh rugby league team against France this afternoon amid reports he could be joining London Scottish.

Thomas moved into the 13-man game with the Wrexham-based Crusaders in March and will be keen to help Wales beat the French today.

However, he could be following in the footsteps of big mate Andy Powell, who is at London Wasps.

Asked about reports linking them with Alfie, London Welsh chief executive John Taylor said: “We do not have the budget or the need in our current squad for another wing or full-back.

London Scottish chief executive Tony Copsey, the former Wales lock, said: “We would like to have him but he is thinking over his options.”

Wales will take their place among rugby league’s elite if they can overcome France in Albi to win the Alitalia European Cup this afternoon.

The winner will qualify for the 2011 Four Nations tournament and take on England, Australia and New Zealand.

But Wales’ bid has been hit by the absence of skipper Lee Briers, who has a knee injury.

Coach Iestyn Harris said: “Gareth Thomas is going to be captain. Lee has had a knee injury all week, which we’d hoped he’d recover from.

“I don’t think Gareth’s leadership qualities have ever been in question.

“His leadership qualities for the group will be key for us and he’s excited by the challenge and he’s looking forward to it.”

Jonny Wilkinson believes that Melbourne Rebels-bound fly-half Danny Cipriani has a 'huge, huge future' with England.

Cipriani has not played a Test since November 2008 and has turned his back on a possible England comeback to pit his wits against the best the southern hemisphere has to offer in next season's inaugural Super Rugby campaign.

Nevertheless, Wilkinson, who took his own leap of faith by joining Top 14 side Toulon in 2009, has pegged his erstwhile team-mate as a star of England's future. Martin Johnson omitted Cipriani from both the Elite Player Squad and Saxons squad in July because the Super season coincides with the 2011 Six Nations - placing any chance of a World Cup call in serious doubt.

"Danny has a huge, huge future," Wilkinson told The Daily Telegraph. "This may be an experience that is going to give him an even bigger impact when it does come about.

"The important thing is what he does is right for him and that his next step is a move forward. If he is in control of the move and able to influence it, then it will be a big, big step.

"Danny will go out there and search for his best. That is what I am trying to do out here [in Toulon]. When you go after it you start looking for the little added differences. It is an exciting prospect. If Danny is on form, then people need to benefit from it."

Cipriani's move to the Rebels will see him paired with former Wallabies boss Rod Macqueen, who was angered last week by the former Wasps star's failure to attend a pre-season meet due to visa issues.

England competes annually in the Six Nations Championship, which is played against five other European nations: France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. The Six Nations started out as the Home Nations Championship in 1883 which England won with a Triple Crown.

England has won the title more times than any other nation by winning it outright 25 times, and sharing victory ten times. Their longest wait between championships was 18 years from 1892 to 1910.

England players traditionally wear white shorts, navy socks with white tops, and a white shirt with a red rose embroidered on it, and for the first time in the English rugby team's history, their away shirt is red. Their home ground is Twickenham Stadium where they first played in 1910. The team is administered by the Rugby Football Union (RFU).

Scottish Rugby Union is the governing body of rugby union in Scotland. It is the second oldest Rugby Union, being founded in 1873.

Scottish Football Union was founded on Monday 3rd March 1873 at a meeting held at Glasgow Academy, Elmbank Stret, Glasgow. The SFU was a founding member of the International Rugby Board in 1886 with Ireland and Wales.

In 1924 the SFU changed its name to become the Scottish Rugby Union. International games were played at Inverleith from 1899 to 1925 when Murrayfield was opened.

Former Scotland and Lions full-back Andy Irvine has been appointed as the new chairman of Celtic Rugby as part of a major overhaul of the Magners League’s governing body.

Irvine will act as a non-voting chairman at the head of an eight-man board of directors while further changes see John Feehan appointed as chief executive, following a board meeting in Cardiff on Tuesday.

Irvine, current chair of the British and Irish Lions committee and former president of the Scottish Rugby Union, replaces John Hussey to become Celtic Rugby’s first independent chairman as part of a new management structure. Hussey, the current vice-president of the IRFU, has been chair for the last seven years.

The tournament will now be managed out of the same Dublin office in charge of both the Six Nations Championship and the Lions.

“Last season saw the highly successful introduction of a play-off system and grand final to determine our champions and the changes agreed by the board are aimed at continuing to shape the ever growing reputation of the tournament.

“As the Magners League prepares to expand through the introduction of two Italian teams to join the 10 clubs from Ireland, Scotland and Wales, I am delighted the Celtic Rugby Board has recognised there is a growing need to support the tournament’s expansion,” said Hussey.

”Having a man of the calibre of Andy Irvine to take over from me is a real statement of intent from the Celtic Rugby Board and all the changes we have agreed will help support the growth of the Magners League product and our 12 clubs.”

“The taking on of the Magners League will undoubtedly pose a few challenges, but I know I speak for all of us in saying that we are ready to face them and are looking forward to getting involved with the game at club level.”

“It is my desire to do everything I can to see the Magners League competition reach its fullest potential,” said Feehan. “Not only do I believe that the competition can be pushed further, I think that my team and I are uniquely qualified and ideally situated to make that a reality.
