Steve Williams sees echoes of Sam Warburton in the way Christ Tshiunza approaches the game of rugby and he should know, having coached both of them at school.
Williams is the long-serving PE teacher at Cardiff’s Whitchurch High School who nurtured the talents of Warburton, Gareth Bale and Geraint Thomas, among others who have gone on to make their mark in the sporting world.
Tshiunza is the latest international off the production line, with the 21-year-old set to make his first start for Wales in Saturday’s Six Nations showdown with Scotland at Murrayfield.
