  • 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.

      Yes! The only person that needs questioning on his selection is Gatland.

      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.

    Really obvious how the presenter is trying to get a narrative going of an immigrant having hardship and then get played down like that.

    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.

      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.

      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)
