🏉 Exciting News for Rugby Fans! 🏉
Welsh rugby legends Shane Williams, James Hook, and Andy Powell are hitting the field together once more in a special charity match this summer! These former Wales internationals, boasting over 190 caps and 22 appearances for the British and Irish Lions, are reuniting to support a fantastic cause. They’ll be kicking off the Heart of Wales 7s series finals weekend in Llanidloes on July 2nd.
The event aims to raise awareness and funds for the Tough Enough To Care mental health charity. Shane Williams will be leading his side, aptly named the Shane Williams XV, against the Flaming Unicorns, the official Tough Enough To Care rugby team. Expect familiar faces to join them, with organisers teasing more star announcements!
While he won’t be lacing up his boots, former Wales star Josh Navidi, who had to retire in 2023, will also be on board as a guest coach.
This finals weekend promises lots of rugby action, running from July 2nd-4th at Cae Hafren. In addition to the elite men’s tournament, there will be women’s 7s and 10s, mixed touch, veterans, and even walking rugby competitions. It’s part of a jam-packed summer of Welsh rugby, with events taking place in June.
The tournament spokesperson said it best: “This match is about community, good people, and supporting the incredible work of Tough Enough To Care.”
Don’t miss the chance to watch these legends in action and support a great cause. More details coming soon! 🌟
