🏉 Ever wondered what a professional rugby player’s life looks like off the pitch? Meet Dan Thomas, the Cardiff Rugby star who’s living life to the fullest—both on and off the field! Born in Carmarthen, Dan isn’t just making waves in the rugby world with his impressive turnovers and tackles; he’s also got a few surprising hobbies up his sleeve.
🌟 When he’s not dominating the rugby field, Dan helps out on his family’s dairy farm and runs a vintage wedding car business. But what’s got everyone talking is his evening pastime—arm wrestling with Ukrainian heavyweights in a garden shed! Yes, you read that right. The fascination began during his time in Bristol, where he stumbled upon an arm wrestling club run by a Ukrainian named Sasha. Despite the humble setup, Dan fell in love with the sport. 🏋️♂️
“You think it’s all about brawn, but it’s really about technique and wrist strength,” Dan shared. His new hobby even revamped his relationship with the gym.
🚜 And if you think that’s enough, he’s also a devoted dad to a two-year-old daughter! Dan returns to Carmarthen whenever he can to help out on the family farm, always reminding himself of his roots. Once rugby is behind him, Dan’s ready to dive into farming full-time.
🚗 Until that time comes, he continues to find joy in rugby and everything else he does. With Cardiff aiming high this season after a stinging near-miss last year, Dan’s determined to push himself and the team to new heights. Every game is a step closer to the ultimate rugby glory.
So next time you catch Dan on the pitch, remember there’s a lot more to this flanker than meets the eye—a whirlwind of rugby, arm wrestling, vintage cars, and farming. Truly a man of many talents! 🏆💪
