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

and
@EnglandRugby
lads gave everything yesterday - great test match!! 👏💪👍
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 🎖
Sport is so beautiful and yet can be so cruel! Just an incredible
@SixNationsRugby
match and a tournament that
@WelshRugbyUnion
can and should be proud of! 🏴
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....🙏❤️
*Breaking News* as the try that was but wasn’t but now is, it’s 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 don’t make it something it’s not. 😘
#ryansgardenmarathon
is done!
Thank you to everyone who’s messaged and donated - you are all amazing and I couldn’t have done it without you x
To all those people within the NHS THANK YOU ❤️
To everyone the only limits you have are the ones you set yourself 💪👍🌈
Don’t 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 I’ll finish this challenge now (he says with two fingers up to fate 🙈🤣), having run 300 mile in 3 weeks and with 165 to go in 6 days - I’ve been preparing mentally for it to hit but it hasn’t....chase failure, you might just surprise yourself...

@AlunWynJones
to win his 150th YES 150th Cap!! What a truly incredible achievement, so well deserved a giant of a man with a ❤️ the size of a lion.
For everyone out there involved with children’s sports clubs, no matter what the sport is or what role that volunteer plays they do it because they “love it” - parents/carers/spectators please watch 👀👍
RTs Appreciated
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 it’s ok, encourage them to talk to someone x
Wouldn’t 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 👇
I haven’t thought this through but I jut want to do something to support the local NHS. So I’m going to run a blinking marathon in my garden 🙈 i appreciate it’s a tough financial time for everyone but if you’ve got anything to spare that would be amazing. Thanks x❤️
The crowd have arrived 😬❤️🌈Update: after short IT stop we’re back up and running - didn’t realise slope in garden or how much turning hurts knees and feet 😂😂😂🤯
I’ve read some s**t on here! As we settle into yesterday’s announcement and the questions, anxiety, heart break and isolation it will bring many please don’t suffer in silence. If your mental health is suffering pls reach out to someone anyone; friends, family or professionals 🖤
So tomorrow I’m doing my first potential 24hr race or 10 x up and down Pen-y-Fan whichever comes first! That’s the same elevation as Everest 🙈😂 - think the excitement is in the unknown and the suffering! Whats the worst that could happen huh??? 😳🤷♂️🤪

Next week, he names the final squad of his tenure for the championship he has helped Wales win on three occasions.

2018!! It’s been an incredible year and the support I’ve received has been amazing!! Every vote counts tonight so 🤞👍
An amazing career by an amazing bloke. Reaching the top’s the easy bit but staying there is tough and what people didn’t see was you cared!! You did it all mate and am proud to have shared some of it with you. 👏👏👏
Success isn’t winning it’s 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 ‘positive rugby experience’ that’s success
#itsnotthebritishlions
We also have a duty to make sure it’s 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 offer👍
