If a picture could sum up the behaviours of great teams this is it, you win together and you loose together - sometimes the margins are great and sometimes they are small - these
@WelshRugbyUnion

lads gave everything yesterday - great test match!! ππͺπ
A little piece of this medal belongs to everyone that has supported me throughout my rugby career but more importantly, to those that have truly inspired me to support those charities close to my heart π
Sport is so beautiful and yet can be so cruel! Just an incredible

match and a tournament that
@WelshRugbyUnion
can and should be proud of! π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ

Count myself as one of the luckiest guys I know to not only have been fortunate to have experienced the magic of the Six Nations but to have been part of the teams I was....πβ€οΈ
*Breaking News* as the try that was but wasnβt but now is, itβs confirmed AWJ is to meet Hartley in Leigh Delamare services for paper/scissor/stones to decide the winner in the event of a draw they have both been asked to bring conkers.

Grow up you dipstick!! Seen more shocking behaviour from my 3 and 6 yr old play fighting in the garden. Silly yes, wreckless yes but donβt make it something itβs not. π

Thank you to everyone whoβs messaged and donated - you are all amazing and I couldnβt have done it without you x
To all those people within the NHS THANK YOU β€οΈ
To everyone the only limits you have are the ones you set yourself πͺππ
Iβve been away for a few days and just got home:

Donβt you dare question my passion for my country and that magic red jersey, I didnt always sing the anthem, no ones prouder than me of that jersey and boy do I miss it but stood facing your loved ones under immense pressure with the expectation of a nation on your shoulders (1)
I have no doubt that Iβll finish this challenge now (he says with two fingers up to fate ππ€£), having run 300 mile in 3 weeks and with 165 to go in 6 days - Iβve been preparing mentally for it to hit but it hasnβt....chase failure, you might just surprise yourself...

Message from an Unknown Coach
Today I heard a comment made about me behind my back, I started to turn around and look but decided better of it, I know I make mistakes.....
We all have a male colleague, a neighbour, a friend, a dad, a brother, a boyfriend, a husband, son or someone we know! Please reach out and tell them itβs ok, encourage them to talk to someone x
Wouldnβt it be great if all parents and coaches on the sidelines of all pitches, courts and arenas across wales watched and tried to take this on board π
I havenβt thought this through but I jut want to do something to support the local NHS. So Iβm going to run a blinking marathon in my garden π i appreciate itβs a tough financial time for everyone but if youβve got anything to spare that would be amazing. Thanks xβ€οΈ
The crowd have arrived π¬β€οΈπUpdate: after short IT stop weβre back up and running - didnβt realise slope in garden or how much turning hurts knees and feet ππππ€―
Iβve read some s**t on here! As we settle into yesterdayβs announcement and the questions, anxiety, heart break and isolation it will bring many please donβt suffer in silence. If your mental health is suffering pls reach out to someone anyone; friends, family or professionals π€

So tomorrow Iβm doing my first potential 24hr race or 10 x up and down Pen-y-Fan whichever comes first! Thatβs the same elevation as Everest ππ - think the excitement is in the unknown and the suffering! Whats the worst that could happen huh??? π³π€·ββοΈπ€ͺ

2018!! Itβs been an incredible year and the support Iβve received has been amazing!! Every vote counts tonight so π€π
An amazing career by an amazing bloke. Reaching the topβs the easy bit but staying there is tough and what people didnβt see was you cared!! You did it all mate and am proud to have shared some of it with you. πππ
Success isnβt winning itβs how many of those boys and girls turn-up next week, next season...... whether they have developed a love of the game because the club/coaches/parents have given them a βpositive rugby experienceβ thatβs success
#itsnotthebritishlions
We also have a duty to make sure itβs about more than rugby, that these boys and girls, when visiting our sport are welcomed and then leave having had a great experience every time so they develop a love of all sports/exercise/activity and all the benefits and magic they offerπ
