	Harris leaves Wales out of pocket \| Rugby union \| Guardian Unlimited Sport
		The Wales centre Iestyn Harris is returning to rugby league after opting out of the last year of his contract with Cardiff Blues.
		Harris leaves as a free agent, much to the disgust of David Moffett, the Welsh Rugby Union chief executive who was not in office when the 27-year-old was signed from Leeds Rhinos in September 2001.
		Harris had a clause in his contract that allowed him to return to rugby league if he was not chosen for Wales's tour to Argentina and South Africa this summer.

		Iestyn Harris will be pleased that he could watch his old team mates wriggling across the pitch, that is if he can get out of the special marquee to be erected on the Cardiff pitch as soon as the game was over.
		Harris gave his watching whippet breeders the impression that he was keen to end this contest and warm up the marquee builders with some good play early on.
		Iestyn Harris (7) - a typical dolly mixture of a performance of some sublime passing and ridiculous kicking.

		As Harris was signed for a deal worth over £1m in the summer, it was a blessing in disguise that he came with a wrist injury suffered in his last game of Run and Wriggle.
		Defences are frightened of Harris and often double defend on him, making space out wide as was shown in the beautiful try he created (along with Nicky Robinson) against Newport.
		Next season will be Iestyn’s season at club level where he is guaranteed a fair share of possession, but is the step up to international level a further season away.

		Iestyn Harris of Wales breaks a tackle during the Rugby World Cup Pool D match between Wales and Canada in Melbourne.
		Harris, who ended the game at fly-half, assumed responsibility for turning the momentum in Wales' favour after Canada had placed them under early pressure.
		Harris landed the tough conversion to set in motion a faultless display of seven from seven.

		However, it is balance of an altogether different kind that has made Iestyn Harris a celebrated figure in the worlds of rugby league and rugby union, that and a refreshingly unassuming and selfless manner for a player who has become the perfect role model for youngsters from Tiger Bay to Todmorden.
		Harris could never live up to that unrealistic expectation but during his time in the valleys he did enough to impress Welsh legends such as Barry John, Phil Bennett, David Watkins and Jonathan Davies, all of whom were gushing in their praise for the Oldham-born star.
		The ongoing struggles of rugby union in Wales made Harris a soft target for some within the game, especially at a time when the WRU were strapped for cash and clubs were being allowed to go to the wall, and a player who has always valued his privacy soon realised his future lay in league.

		Harris must envy the position that Jason Robinson, another rugby league recruit to union in England, has found himself in.
		While Harris was enduring such a nightmare in Cardiff, Robinson was proving his doubters wrong in England`s 21-15 win over the world champion Wallabies at Twickenham.

	2003 Rugby World Cup News
		However, far from being an instant success, Harris struggled with the complexities of the new game and coaches were unable to determine his best position, leading to reports that the 27-year-old might be considering a switch back to league after the World Cup.
		Harris himself said in July he was not interested in returning to league, as he still had much to prove, particularly after questions among fans that the reported 1.5 million pounds ($2.5 million) paid for his services could have been better spent elsewhere.
		Harris repaid his coach's faith and produced probably his best game for the national side, kicking five penalties and impressing with his tactical kicking, defensive work and attempts to spark his backline.

		Rugby league convert Iestyn Harris has been handed the task of inspiring the Welsh backs to pull off a third win in a row in Paris.
		Wales are desperate to avoid a Six Nations whitewash and their Kiwi coach Steve Hansen believes Harris, who has mainly played his club rugby at fly-half for Cardiff this season, is the man for the job.
		But Harris was the pivot as Wales launched a wave of attacks late in last Saturday's agonising defeat to Ireland, fitting in smoothly with fly-half Stephen Jones, spotting the gaps as they appeared and distributing with a calm maturity.

	Harris carries burden of expectation \| Wales \| International \| Rugby Union \| Sport \| Telegraph
		Harris has played a mere 40 competitive minutes of union so far but already the sense of renewed optimism is arising from the ashes and desolation of the Irish debacle.
		Harris said after the match that it would take him six months to get to grips with the new code, but expectations may drive him into the spotlight sooner than the cautious Henry would prefer.
		Harris is perceived as the potential saviour who can give Wales the decision-maker they crave in the holiest of holy rugby shirts, the red 10.

	Harris completes £2m code switch \| Wales \| International \| Rugby Union \| Sport \| Telegraph
		Harris, who played the 13-man game for the Leeds Rhinos, confirmed that he had been approached by England manager Clive Woodward but had rebuffed the offer without a moment's hesitation.
		Harris is likely to make his international debut against Tonga in November, although first he must overcome a wrist injury which means he will not play for Leeds again before his Cardiff contract comes into effect on September 1.
		However, league fans may be encouraged by the fact that Harris refused to deny that a clause has been placed in his contract which allows him to return to Leeds for the 2004 Super League campaign, the summer after the next rugby union World Cup.

		Meanwhile, Harris has continued with Cardiff, impressing often enough to show that he has all the skills, all the physical requirements, to make the grade.
		And there was Harris, at 25-years-old, having at that stage played about the same number of union matches as his 19-year-old understudy Nick Robinson, who was on the bench.

		Wales, apart from flashes of brilliance by the centre Iestyn Harris, were uninspired but Canada were so pedestrian and predictable that the Welsh were able to survive two yellow cards and romp home without suggesting they would be worthy quarter-finalists.
		There are many questions for Wales still to answer and their discipline was poor, with Colin Charvis and Sonny Parker sent to the sin-bin for a late tackle and a professional foul respectively.
		They were at their most dangerous when Harris was at inside-centre and he was less effective when he moved to outside-half.

		"Leeds Rhinos maintain that Iestyn Harris was contractually bound to return to the Rhinos on leaving Cardiff and that Bulls knew of this when they signed him," read the statement.Â "Formal claims were made by the Rhinos against Iestyn Harris for breach of contract and against the Bulls for inducing breach of contract.
		Harris is expecting a less than warm welcome but a player who has been the consummate professional throughout his career will not let the boos and jeers distract him from his ongoing efforts to acclimatise himself into the Bulls' ranks.
		Harris acknowledges that the transition back to league after three years in union has been choppier than he hoped, but a week after scoring his first two tries for his new club, has no qualms about going head to head with the new golden boy at Headingley, Danny McGuire.
