Dafydd James

Any rugby fanatic will certainly know of Dafydd Rhys James. They’d probably remember that he played in all three Lions Tests on the 2001 tour of Australia and may be able to guess how many tests he played for Wales (48).

They could even perhaps name some of the domestic teams he represented in his 15 years, 129 try career (Celtic Warriors, Scarlets and Cardiff Blues, Bridgend, Pontypridd, Llanelli, Harlequins and Sale).

What no-one will know until now is the truth about Dafydd. The self doubt, the anxiety and the unease that accompanied the undisputed talent and triumph. Dafydd is a dragon, and a lion, but he is also a man with a story we can all relate to and learn from.
