Evans admits he is enjoying his reunion with Sherratt.

“I’ve had two stints with him and I’m grateful he called me back in,” said Evans.

“The emotions initially were strange because I’d been out of the squad for such a long period.

“I was just so over the moon I could help the boys and the team in some way.”

Evans plays his rugby with Marcus Smith at Harlequins and is set to face his club mate next weekend as Wales face an England side who are still within a chance of winning the Six Nations title.

“We’re good mates off the field so I’ll be looking forward to seeing him next week,” he said.

“I’ll probably speak to him before the game. We speak quite regular anyway, so I’ll drop him a message.”

Despite 16 successive Test defeats, Evans says the squad need to keep the belief and positivity in Welsh rugby.

“There is no reason why we can’t,” added Evans.

“We were one score away this weekend and similar last week. We’re not a million miles off. It’s important we keep believing and positive.”
