**Celtic Warriors wing Dafydd James moved up to 20 tries in the Heineken Cup with his score in the home win over Calvisano last weekend. It was the fourth team James had scored for in the competition adding to those he previously notched with Pontypridd (9), Llanelli (8) and Bridgend (2). He is now one behind Emil Ntamack and four behind Michel Marfaing, both of Toulouse.
