🏉 Exciting news from the world of rugby! Young talent Ffredi Easterby, son of TV presenter Sarra Elgan and Lions coach Simon Easterby, is making waves as he’s named in Cardiff Rugby’s under-18s squad for the 2025/2026 season. 🌟
At just 16, Ffredi has already caught the eye with standout performances for Cowbridge RFC and his school, Ysgol Bro Morgannwg. Last year, he led his team to victory at the Principality Stadium in the Year 10 Cup, showcasing his skills with a crucial try.
The Easterby legacy in rugby continues, with Ffredi following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Elgan Rees, a former Lions player, and dad Simon, who remains a beloved figure in Welsh rugby. Simon, who was briefly linked to the Wales head coach position, remains fully supportive of Ffredi’s journey alongside his coaching duties for Ireland. 🇮🇪
As Ffredi steps into this exciting chapter, all eyes will be on him as he aims to leave his mark in the WRU Academy Championship. The road ahead looks promising, and we can’t wait to see what this talented young player brings to the game! 🏈
