The article highlights the intense atmosphere of the Six Nations, particularly for players like Dafydd Jenkins, who embodies grit and tenacity. At just 22, Jenkins, the youngest captain in history, emphasizes the importance of mindset over age. He recalls battling through significant injuries, including a dislocated kneecap and a painful shoulder, underscoring his commitment to the sport. Despite Wales' struggles, pulling on the national jersey remains a dream for Jenkins, who aspires to contribute to a winning team and cherishes every moment in the game.
Jenkins states, "There's pressure but if you can't handle that you shouldn't be there...When the going gets tough, I relish the battle even more."
Reflecting on surgery, Jenkins adds, "Successful patella tendon surgery last summer has fixed the problem...it's hard when you're trying to whack people week in, week out."
