It seems fair to say there are some casual rugby observers who might struggle to pick out Jack Dixon at an identity parade.
He doesn’t appear the type to court publicity and his Twitter bio tells us that as well as being a professional rugby player for the Dragons, he is also a ‘proud vice-captain of the railway seconds darts team’.
It isn’t known how quickly he can get down from 501, but every rugby team should have a Jack Dixon, a players’ player who goes the extra mile for the team and is prepared to tackle unglamorous jobs with relish. Rare is the Dragons match that passes without Dixon putting himself in harm’s way and targeting turnovers despite the best efforts of gargantuan opposition forwards to blast him off the ball.
