Meet Gabriel Hamer-Webb, the latest star to join the Wales Rugby squad! 🚀 Despite a whirlwind week of off-field drama overshadowing the Six Nations squad announcement, this call-up is a dream come true for Gabriel and his family.
Gabriel, 25, was over the moon when he got the nod from coach Steve Tandy. He shared the exciting news with his family in a heartwarming group chat, sparking tears and cheers all around! Having lost both his father and brother in recent years, this achievement is deeply poignant and significant for him. He feels that his dad would have been incredibly proud.
His journey has been anything but ordinary. From playing in New Zealand to joining Leicester Tigers after a stint at Cardiff, Gabriel’s career has had its share of highs and lows. Despite the challenges, he remains grateful for every learning opportunity these experiences have offered.
With mum from Cardiff, the Welsh jersey has always been a goal. Challenges and family tragedies have only made him stronger and more determined to succeed.
This past weekend was the cherry on top as Gabriel celebrated his call-up with a try for Leicester. Known for his aerial skills, Gabriel wants to bring his gritty work ethic and flair to the Test stage.
Reuniting with former Cardiff head coach Matt Sherratt is an exciting prospect for him. Sherratt, renowned for nurturing try-scorers, has already helped Gabriel fine-tune his skills. Their collaboration could mean exciting times ahead.
Gabriel is eager to make his mark in the upcoming Six Nations, and with his strong work-rate and passion, he’s determined to turn heads in the Test arena. 🏉
Here’s to the road less travelled. Gabriel Hamer-Webb is poised to make waves in Welsh rugby, and this feels like just the beginning! 🌟
