Former Wales and Lions rugby star Andy Powell has issued a public apology after becoming embroiled in a row with the wife of Gareth Anscombe following comments he made in the wake of Ryan Jones' dementia diagnosis.
Powell sparked anger on Twitter following Jones' devastating news on Saturday night, by stating: "We choose to play the game. We know the problems what (sic) can happen!! Problems happen even if you don’t play sport."
Among those to take issue with Powell was Milica Anscombe, who responded by saying: "Someone got your phone again? Horrendously insensitive tweet. Would you say cancer patients know what they got into by exposing themselves to the sun?"
