The abuse and hate messages I received for doing a TikTok dance live on the BBC after Wales’s defeat by England was crazy. On Instagram I received a few DMs saying: “You’re an embarrassment, what do you think you’re doing?”
That doesn’t affect me because we get criticism all the time for different things: losing a game, dropping a high ball. I am not hugely active on X and it was not until those of my friends who aren’t big fans of rugby were checking in on me to see if I was OK that I realised the extent of the abuse on social media.
