Really bad day today, to a point where I nearly locked myself away. Been a long time between good and bad days. Always creeps up when you least expect it. It doesn't get any easier. Hoping for better days ahead 🙏🏻 #ItsOkToNotBeOk #MentalHealthMatters #mentalhealthsupport

Never thought I'd be a guy to have anxiety or panic attacks as I've always been a strong minded bugger, on and off the rugby pitch, but the road of life is a lesson for all. We have to adapt and change it sometimes to make us stronger than we ever were #overcomeyourdemons

I've never been one to keep my MH issues to myself, I used to and hated myself for it. Not in a good place recently due to being locked down at home after a knee replacement. Feeling shite and on the floor mentally. MH can affect anybody at anytime. Speak up #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay

Want to thank everyone who has called, messaged, emailed me after the passing of my biggest hero 💔 My dad was a giant to me, helped me up when I was down, calmed me down when I was angry, made me laugh when I was sad. Best teacher I ever had in life. Love you always #Nomorepain

A club as big as @newbridgerfc lowering themselves to the social media basement by putting village clubs such as Bedlinog (great club & people) down for trying their best to keep rugby in village alive. Really is poor form, lost a lot of respect here FACT

Unfortunately, our game against Bedlinog at the Welfare tomorrow is off. This is due to Bedlinog being unable to find the numbers to raise a team for the second time this season!😠😡

@S4Cchwaraeon Issues lie with the regional academies here. Players are told NOT to play rugby anywhere else unless it's for them. Wrapped up in cotton wool and lack of match fitness is affecting their development as a young player. The more rugby you play......the better you will be #sadtimes

Just finished watching 'Anne' on Itv, heartwrenching to watch. This country, government and people who 'try' to run it should be ashamed that there still isn't any justice for Hillsborough disaster in 1989. No parent should wait 33 years without an answer #JusticeForThe97

@Rreesrugby Spoke to the boys who played this match and report doesn't do the abuse to the official justice. Anyone who physically abuses an official doesn't deserve to ever step back onto a rugby pitch.

Potentially the worst Welsh performance (team) I've seen in a very very long time. Only Basham looked like he wanted to be there. No other ball carrying forward in team. No attacking threat at all, will be lucky to finish 5th

Another great performance from the @MERTHYRYOUTH1 today in horrendous conditions. 4 from 4 in league against a physical @LlanishenMJs MoM performance from Joe Lyons carrying 18 times for a loose head. Da iawn boys 👏🏻 @AllWalesSport

So Sad to read this - always the cornerstone of the Scrum for Scotland and the Lions in 90s. Another legend gone too soon. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scotland & @lionsofficial prop Tom Smith sadly passed away earlier today aged 50. A hugely respected player, Tom will be greatly missed by everyone associated with rugby in Scotland and throughout the game. All our thoughts are with Tom's family and friends at this time.

Superb win today for @MERTHYRYOUTH1 against a big, physical @MorristonYouth side running out convincing winners 18 - 12. Tries scored by @jordancarp9 and Garon Griffiths with Leon Caviel converting 1 and slotting 2 penalties in first period. Huge shift from our 1st year boys 🟢🟡
