They say attack wins games and defence wins championships. Not today! We done it the Quins way
@Harlequins
absolutely loved today and my time here! Smiles on faces! Thank you to all those that believed! We weren’t underdogs, we just weren’t some people’s favourites 🙌👊

Thank you for all the kind messages, I hope it helps other going through tough times with any addiction, troubled pasts or struggling with mental health

Question again last night about the 60 cap rule, thoughts on players that haven’t been developed in wales but have to leave if they want to continue international rugby, just my own thoughts below.
@simonrug
knows a lot more about the framework. This is just my view as player.
What an inspirational man 👊. Today was a big game of rugby for 2 nations and means so much, but ultimately it was just a game of rugby
#HoldYourHeadHigh
A lot of people having a go at people like mike brown & Ross Moriarty for standing up for themselves against people slating them. Personally think if you don’t like the response don’t put it out there in the first place tagging them in things or calling them out personally
We have been strongly reassured by our directors & shareholders that
@ospreys
are staying put 💪. Now let’s all get behind
@WelshRugbyUnion
boys Saturday and push hard in our up & coming fixtures for that top 3 spot
A lovely moment pitchside as
@scottbaldwin2
presents Faf Weyers, the surgeon who operated on his hand on our last visit to Bloemfontein, with his match shirt from today’s game.

#OspreysInSA
People like Ben should be fully supported by our government not cut off at £24,000! They have put their body’s on the line for us day in & day out. It shouldn’t be a battle for them once they come home!
Ben Parkinson has finally won his fight for a long-term care package, more than 12 years after he suffered catastrophic injuries. He is the most wounded British soldier from the war in Afghanistan.
There is nothing between the Top 5/6 teams in world rugby at this moment in time, whoever is more accurate on the day wins the match. Let’s not all try with ifs & buts. Humans make errors and sometimes that’s the difference a pass sticks you score, it doesn’t and opposition lift.
Thank you for all the messages and well wishes! Excited for the next chapter
@WorcsWarriors
next season, reconnecting with some old faces and meeting new. Fully focused on giving my all and trying to push for some silverware in the Quarters
@Harlequins
first though 🃏⚔️
#COYQ
If someone puts themselves out there about their struggles, it’s not about my issues are worse than yours. All the”try living in the real world”. Unless you live in the matrix I think we all live in the REAL WORLD and have different struggles. Don’t be a douche
#Bekind
Not quite as old as this guy yet, but made me proper laugh 😂. thank you to Everyone who’s messages it mean a lot! Grateful to have another opportunity! Disappointed that it’s at a team mates expense but I know he’ll be back soon! Dewi has a huge future as I’ve said before 👊
People seem to be acting as if nothing is happening in the UK. If we carry on like this we will be in a worse situation than Italy, people need to take hard look in the mirror at what they are doing and how it’s effecting our world as we know it!
#StayAtHome
Outstanding
@cardiff_blues
👏 great for them to have there family’s there with them aswel! great gesture from blues board flying the squad/employees & families out to enjoy the day!
Commentators in the ospreys V Leinster game oh my Leinster 🤦🏻♂️ isn’t it meant to be premier sport commentary of the game, not Leinsters In game review
Great to run out for my last home game
@ospreys
with my little man & to be playing against
@richardhibbard2
who has always helped me from day 1. Hope that hammy isn’t to bad mate. thanks also to all the supporters for you kind words. Still chasing that top 3 with 3 to go 💪⚫️⚪️
So many special youngsters in this squad! Louis is an amazing person first and foremost! Has a HUGE future. Loved the energy and willingness to learn these boys have!
Louis Lynagh has been with
@Harlequins
since he was 13 years old.
At 20 years old, he has helped them become Premiership champions 🏆
You've absolutely made your dad proud, Louis ❤️

#GallagherPremFinal
Went to Cardiff today, normally go John Lewis way but today went the game day bus route to principality. haven’t been that way in a long time. Brought back some great memories, remember the first time sat next to warbs almost in tears 😂 what I’d give to do it again
#Specialplace
Sad to hear
@samwarburton_
is moving onto the next chapter, truly honoured to have played alongside you! A great man off the field, could never do enough for you as a team mate or friend & on the pitch leader,test match animal & LEGEND
#EnjoyTheNextChapterSkipper
Going to be a cold one tonight & following few nights, if you lucky enough to be in your home tonight be thankful for what you have. There will be a lot of people less fortunate sleeping in these horrible conditions, if you can help just one person please do
#ColdKills
🙏
Simple visual, if the hookers foot is back before the set they’re not managing the weight. All we want as player is clear visuals like this reffed correctly. Surely it’s simple physics, you lean over a cliff with no support you fall... even I know this and I had a D in physics
Great insight for people to see that no matter what level of sport you play, we all have doubts about ourselves and moments of vulnerability at times in sport & life. It’s always nice for someone to back you and your ability

This is fascinating!
@RonanOGara10
on the psychology and decision-making of the kicking process in rugby.
Battling with Paul O'Connell, Johnny Sexton making decisions himself, dealing with nerves and much more!

Maybe I’m biased being from Bridgend, but for me Ospreys should invest in the brewery field and make it home ground for the future. Good 4G pitch, train links & seems like good atmosphere every time they play there.
Asked a few times in recent weeks about the 60 cap rule, thoughts are the same as when I left Wales. It’s a good concept, I think there could be a regional appearance cap/time served (8-10years) in Wales. But nothings perfect, there’s lot of talent coming through.
#Rulesberules
I’ll tell you one thing I’ve realised since not being involved on the pitch in a test match day. It’s 100,000,000 easier to make the right decision,coach and criticise things when they go wrong or we lose.
Every player has their own routine/prep going into games, if this is his who is Sir Clive to slam him for it! Maybe just maybe he was just buzzing for the game & embracing the atmosphere
#NoBetterFeelingInRugby
Congratulations
@ospreys
big shift from all, thought the bench were quality. Haven’t seen much of Garyn Phillips but very impressive on the loose-head.
𝙒𝙀𝙇𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙀, 𝙎𝘾𝙊𝙏𝙏!
Wales hooker Scott Baldwin will complete Newcastle Falcons’ staff for the new season after signing up as defence coach.
The 34-year-old Osprey has retired from playing to focus on his new role.
Welcome aboard
@ScottBaldwin2
!
Speed & Power 💪
It's good to see Alex Cuthbert back doing what he does best 👏
The crucial try in what was just his fourth
@ExeterChiefs
appearance in 15 months.
#GallagherPrem
Just been to Sainsbury’s Bridgend, do you know the people who aren’t panic bulk buying are the people that need it most 65 and or vulnerable! Please stop buying in bulk. Times like this we need to help each other not just ourselves!
So sad to hear the news that MJ has passed away. One of the very best men you could wish to meet. Always had a smile on his face. Thought with his young family!
Tough one to take today but that’s rugby. sure we’ll have another crack at Exeter this season at some point. Love playing with these boys &

Will Griff John Instant impact scrum time for sale. Imagine he has stayed in wales and played semi pro instead of learning his trade and developing elsewhere because he couldn’t get a pro deal in wales.
