Food for thought.. I have no answers just thoughts.. Sustainability ahead of overnight success.. Let's forget splashing cash - I think there are 3 fundamental things players like.. Stash ✔️ Beer ✔️ Tour ✔️ Happy players, happy club.. Parch = Respect Look within the community

A lot of people are quick to say grassroots rugby is dying, it's on it's arse etc - But there are people on the frontline around Wales like Jamo James @ystalyferarfc First Team Rugby Manager Saturday, U8's Coach Sunday - I ain't about to let his club die out!! Volunteer❤️💚🖤👏

Saddened tonight been sent a parody video of myself (which happens it come with the territory) the saddest thing is the derogatory / sexist slur - 'characterized by or showing prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex' Not classy..

Good Friday myself & the family took a spin West to Haverfordwest. Main reason was to stop by the crew @gettheboysalift who have worked tirelessly & have opened a fantastic coffee shop/drop in facility. As a youth worker by trade i was inspired by the space & vision! #inspired
