🏴 First fixtures as Head Coach of @WalesRugbyL done So many positives and progress made. Proud of the senior players that stepped up and have been professional and committed throughout and a crop of our young WRL pathway players who have took their opportunity with both hands

Just finished reading this amazing book. Brutally honest, enthralling, poignant and emotional. A remarkable insight into the life and mindset of a great Welsh sportsman - warts and all. Highly recommended 👍 Well done to Bish and @gallagherbren58 🏉
