Even worried if I had the right trainers on, reveals Adams
Worcester and how he wants to get back into the Wales set-up.
On his Six Nations call-up, Adams told Sky Sports Rugby: “I was delighted. Absolutely over the moon. I was instantly nervous for some reason. The thought of walking into a room with all those established internationals made me think: ‘oh my gosh, do I actually want to go now?!’ But it was great.
“The first day in camp was awful. I was sick to my stomach, so nervous. I was panicking about anything. I was thinking: ‘Have I got the right trainers on? Have I got the right socks on?!’ Silly things like that.
“It was daunting. I walked into the dining room where all the players meet, but not too many people had arrived by that time so I was quite fortunate in that people were arriving and I wasn’t walking into a full room, because I think that would have been a bit worse.
“It was nerve-racking but I’m just desperate to get back into that camp and that environment.”
And nerves seemed to be a recurring theme for Adams, especially when his start for the Scotland clash was confirmed.
“Obviously, I was so happy that he picked me to play but I was instantly nervous again. It’s something you work so hard to get to, and then when you actually get named in the squad, the first thought is: ‘I don’t know if I actually want to play anymore!’
“Thinking about it now, the day went so quickly. I was trying to take in every moment as it came. The bus into the ground was pretty special. That’s definitely a highlight.
“We have a police escort for the team bus and literally for the whole mile coming in, both sides of the road are absolutely jam-packed with fans.
“It was quite emotional. I didn’t think I’d get the chance to sing the anthem on a field in a Wales jersey again. That was very emotional as well.”
