🏉 Rugby fans, have we discovered Wales’ next powerhouse? 🌟 After a thrilling performance against the All Blacks, pundits are buzzing about Dafydd Jenkins, the Exeter Chiefs lock, who many believe has just had his “best game in a Welsh shirt.” Despite a 52-26 loss to New Zealand, Jenkins shone brightly, delivering huge hits and completing a whopping 21 tackles and 8 carries.
Jim Hamilton and Dan Biggar couldn’t help but applaud Jenkins’ physical game plan, crafted by Steve Tandy. Hamilton highlighted the incredible energy and passion, saying, “To score tries and maintain shape against the All Blacks in the first half was exceptional.” Biggar agreed, calling it Jenkins’ best display yet.
Tom Rogers’ historic hat-trick, Joe Hawkins’ midfield magic, and Keiron Assiratti’s solid effort at tight-head provided plenty of silver linings. Hamilton also highlighted standouts like Dewi Lake and the back-row’s energy, adding that the atmosphere at the sold-out stadium was electric and filled with raw physicality.
As Wales gears up to face South Africa this weekend, expect a few roster changes due to the match falling outside the official World Rugby window. Unfortunately, Jenkins, who plays for the Chiefs in the Gallagher Premiership, will be unavailable.
Stay tuned for more thrilling Welsh rugby action and let’s cheer on our team as they take on the Springboks! 🏆🇿🇦 #WalesRugby #DafyddJenkins #RugbyPassion #BePhysical
