Veteran Wales back-rower Sioned Harries' actions in the past 48 hours have shown why she is a class act off the rugby pitch as well as on it.
PE teacher Harries, 33, started at the back of the scrum in Wales' 39-14 Women's Six Nations defeat to third in the world France in Grenoble on Sunday. A day later, she was travelling the 800 or so miles back to Wales so she could be at the Principality Stadium in time to cheer on her year seven girls' rugby team from Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Dur in their under-12s final.
Harries’ pupils – some of whom had never picked up a rugby ball until the start of this year – made it all the way to the Principality, somewhere Harries has played twice before in her 73-cap career, with Wales Women usually playing next door at Cardiff Arms Park.
