Watch as Alyn Evans, a veteran of Barry RFC, takes the internet by storm with his jaw-dropping display of strength! The rugby legend lifted a younger opponent like a feather and left the crowd in stitches during a pre-season match. With over 400,000 views on Instagram, this clip is pure entertainment gold!


Evans, demonstrating shades of legendary tackles from the likes of George North, proved that 18 years in grassroots rugby hasn’t dulled his skills one bit. As rain poured down on the field, the Barry RFC faithful couldn’t help but chuckle at the comically epic moment.
Even the referee couldn’t resist cracking a smile! The player from Nantyfflon, ushered gently back to his own try line, was a good sport, sharing in the laughs. Barry RFC’s Instagram caption summed it up perfectly: “We’ve heard of a handoff… what’s this called? 😂”

Though the final score was a slim 5-0 victory for Barry, it’s Evans’ moment of brilliance that will be remembered for years to come. With over 300 appearances for Barry, his latest exploits just add to his legendary status.
Earlier in the summer, Barry RFC also had some fun by ‘announcing’ the signing of Wales star Louis Rees-Zammit (with a humorous photoshop to match!). It’s all part of the good-natured vibe at Barry, where passion for rugby meets a hearty dose of humour.
Catch the clip and join the laughter – it’s the rugby joy you didn’t know you needed! 🏉💪😄
