Keelan Giles will be a proud man as he makes his 100th appearance for the Ospreys in Italy on Nov. 30 at 2:25 p.m. 

Reaching that milestone at the age of 27 is all the more notable, given the amount of time the winger has spent out of the game through injury. 

Fitness issues plagued him again over the summer, forcing his withdrawal from Wales’ tour of Australia and leaving him still waiting for that elusive first cap. 

But now he is back fully fit and looking forward to his landmark outing, some eight years on from his regional debut.

“I’m proud," he said. "It’s a nice milestone for me and my family. "It’s been a bit of a long journey, to be fair.” 

Reflecting on missing a summer trip with Wales due to a groin/hernia problem, he said: “It was tough, but I have been around long enough to know that injuries come and go. It was just one of those things. It was unfortunate. I was very proud to be selected initially and very grateful to be in that position. 

"Hopefully, I can get my performances back up there and be in the conversations this season. I am looking to get a run of games for the Ospreys. That is my main focus, and whatever happens off the back of that happens.”

Having missed the start of the season while rehabbing, Giles returned for the final two games of the opening URC block against Ulster and Edinburgh.

“I probably felt a bit sluggish that first game, but I felt more like myself then in that Edinburgh match and I’m just looking to build on that now going into Zebre,” he said. “I’m fit and firing and ready to go. I feel 100% now.”

The Ospreys are without Adam Beard, who faces a lengthy layoff after injuring his knee on Wales duty against Australia, but fellow secondrow James Fender is back fit to make his first competitive appearance since January.
