Wales team supporting Dan Lydiate after father's death before game

Wales coach Wayne Pivac has praised Dan Lydiate for the professionalism he has shown this week following the death of his father last weekend.

John Lydiate past away before his son was named in the team to face Argentina on Saturday, with Lydiate taking to the field to represent his country at the Principality Stadium.

He and his team-mates wore black armbands as a mark of respect for his father, with Lydiate bowing his head during the anthems. Unfortunately, he had to leave the field after 28 minutes due to a wrist injury.
