The Leeds United forward scored on his 50th appearance for Wales after hours earlier welcoming the birth of his second child
Daniel James was delighted to celebrate the birth of his new baby by scoring on his 50th Wales appearance in the Euro play-off win over Finland. Wales' 4-1 victory set up a home play-off final against Poland on Tuesday, with a Euro 2024 place at stake in Germany this summer.
Poland will certainly represent a far tougher test in Cardiff than outgunned Finland did on Thursday. They had an indifferent Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, losing three of their eight group games to finish behind Albania and the Czech Republic, but there is plenty of top-level European experience in Michal Probierz's squad.
"We've played them before and they're a very good team," James told S4C. "It's going to be a tough game. We've got a couple days now to settle from this one and then we'll be straight on it. "The biggest selection headache I had was at the top of the pitch, as was well documented," said Page. "It was a hard decision to make, but I knew having looked at the analysis that pace would hurt them. We've got Nathan, who's playing really well at the top of the Championship scoring goals.
