I'm not sure if what we've just seen in Welsh rugby happens anywhere else in the world, but credit where credit is 100 per cent due.
The bank holiday Monday just gone marked the end of a wonderful 10-day rugby carnival, which saw more than 2,500 community players get the chance to shine at the Principality Stadium, widely regarded as the greatest rugby ground on the planet.
Officially called 'Road to the Principality 2022', the WRU-organised festival was the culmination of various national competitions for schools, colleges, clubs and diverse teams throughout Wales. I'm told more than 30,000 people attended, so that would suggest grassroots rugby is well supported.
