Wales' Grand Slam heroes have gone on holiday together and bumped into a familiar face

After seven weeks of Six Nations action, Wales ' players have earned a week off.

But how have they spent their well-deserved time away from the training paddock?

A large group of Wales' Grand Slam heroes have all chosen to holiday together in Dubai.

Gareth Anscombe, Rob Evans, Steff Evans, Gareth Davies, Leigh Halfpenny and Hadleigh Parkes have all travelled to the United Arab Emirates, as revealed by Parkes' BBC Sport column.

"We've got a week off next week so me and my wife are off to Dubai. I'm a bit pasty so I need to top up the tan.

WRU reveal the most important decision Welsh rugby is now facing  

"Gareth Anscombe, Gareth Davies, Leigh Halfpenny, Rob Evans and Steff Evans and their partners are coming.

"Suzy is a bit worried that it's going to turn into a lads trip. I've promised that it won't be - maybe for two or three nights, but not the whole trip."

And they've already bumped into another Welsh Grand Slam legend who now calls Dubai home.

Mike Phillips has been hanging out with the sextet of current Welsh stars.

Halfpenny and partner Jess Tumelty have also posted pictures of baby girl Lily with them in Dubai - while Halfpenny has also found time to hit the gym, posting a video of him on a rowing machine.

It is a holiday after all, so the boys have also balanced a bit of work with some relaxation by taking to the golf course.

Jonathan Davies - Miami

Wales vice-captain Jonathan Davies has headed to the United States in his time off, travelling to Miami with partner Louise Robyn McMillan.

Unsurprisingly, the weather out there has been stunning - with Louise posting pictures of the palm trees and blue skies on her Instagram stories.

The major Welsh rugby transfer and contract business still to be done amid raft of signings  

Owen Watkin, Leon Brown, Cory Hill and Dillon Lewis - Prague

It's not just the Dubai contingent who have opted to holiday together.

Dragons duo Cory Hill and Leon Brown have headed to Prague along with Ospreys star Owen Watkin and Cardiff Blues prop Dillon Lewis.

And it would appear they are enjoying the sights of the Czech Republic, judging by their Instagram posts.

Dragons prop Brown showed he had been sightseeing as well as rocking some local headgear.

But it looks like the boys have also seen Prague's nightlife too.
