Anthony Watson reflected on his rugby career stating, "As I walked off against Sale I knew there was a chance this might be the last one. I was in so much pain, I'd taken a lot of painkillers just to get to that point in the game." This highlights the physical toll the sport took on him, ultimately leading to his retirement on medical grounds.
Watson shared the struggles he faced, saying, "I woke up at 4am because I was in so much pain and I had to take more pain meds to go back to sleep. I didn't want to let the team down, so I played the day after albeit, barely played." This illustrates the intense pressure athletes feel to perform despite severe injuries.
