- Christ Tshiunza has had a whirlwind journey from immigration from his place of birth in DR Congo to selection for Wales in just over a decade. He recalls his childhood and his inability to speak English upon arrival to Wales, and how Warren Gatland gave him an unexpected awakening the morning of a Exeter University match.

Would you select Christ Tshiunza in Wales RWC2023 squad? Let us know below!
Yes! The only person that needs questioning on his selection is Gatland.
Yes I Would love Christ to play for us (Wales) he is a player we need. He is a good player he will do Wales proud Warren should pick him.
Warren needs a big boost from the Welsh Fan's he did us proud up to 2019. Now he is back the mess that rugby is in it's not just down to Warren it's the fault of the WRU Look a the state of the 4 teams where's the money gone. the players don't know were they stand at the moment.A lot of players might have no team to go to at the end of the year. there hart's are not in the game plus a pay cut. it's the fault of WRU
For sure he needs to be selected, a great player who will do nothing but improve, and that he can potentially cover the whole back 5 he is a utility forward and a gift to the Welsh set up.
@@johnlangdon7576 Christ is a very determined player and a natural achiever with a great engine. He is in excellent form right now and would be a real asset at the RWC.
Wow what a likeable guy
So proud of you, man. from🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
Really obvious how the presenter is trying to get a narrative going of an immigrant having hardship and then get played down like that.
Come to south Africa
Amazing opportunity for this young man - and World Cup as well - awesome.
Who is the girl? She dresses like I do. Amazing!
Just walking in the streets of Johannesburg could cause you to loose your socks, shoes and much more.
Good break for this youngster...hope to see alot of him going forward.
I'd swap 5 photos of Barry John for one of her
I like rugby a lot, but there’s something quite uninspiring about a sport where you can go from not having played it to playing it at the very highest level in the space of 4 years.
Happens in a lot of sport even highly technical skilled ones like basketball
if you're made for the sport you're made for the sport. think about the thousands of others playing in his position their whole lives wishing they could represent their country. Or the Australian rugby league player who couldn't get a start for the Rabittohs but made it to the Superbowl this year.
@@dabzvapelord great point
Bro, believe it or. It, there’s something called athleticism…if you don’t have it, you won’t make it in just about any sport (maybe other than snooker…). Credit this young man for putting the work in to reach the top of his chosen sport (even if it’s Wales, poor bugger)
@@dabzvapelord it wasn’t that he couldn’t play, he Chas alight but just had the wrong physique
Mako speaks with a broader Welsh accent than Christ. Wanna swap?
No bloody chance 😉 christ is the future for Wales.
@@davidpearn2484 😂 Wales need him more. England have an abundance of players at 6.
Neck tattoos..christ.
Imagine fleeing a war torn country, going into the unknown……..and ending up getting selected for the worst Welsh team ever 😂
Did you watch Wales in the late 80's and early 90's lol I'm Welsh those sides were shite
Just looked at your comments on other vids. Are you a nasty, sad person generally? Or just on the Internet?
Well he will have perspective
And they still suck……..
Legal immigrants are great, it brings the likes of this guy which is great for Wales however illegal immigrants are yet to show us such greatness
