Emotional Rhys Webb puts down massive World Cup marker as he finally hopes to lay ghosts to rest

Rhys Webb hopes he's put down a World Cup marker as he bids to finally play in rugby's showpiece tournament.

The Ospreys scrum-half guided Wales to a first win of this year's Six Nations in what was his first start in a Welsh jersey in three years. His last start in this tournament was even further back, coming at the end of the 2017 Six Nations in France.

That was the last time Webb was truly first-choice, with his Test career coming to a sudden halt after being snagged by the 60-cap rule following a move to Toulon. On his return to Wales in 2020, he fell out of favour under Wayne Pivac appearing to bring his Welsh career to an end.
