5th February 2024


Cardiff rugby stars Alex Mann and Cam Winnett made their international debuts on the weekend and were central figures in Wales' dramatic comeback against Scotland. 

Winnett played the full match at full-back, while Mann came off the bench and scored a try - read and watch the reaction from both men as they sum up an incredible match and discuss what it means to play for their country. 

Reaction from Alex Mann:

"It was surreal to be honest. Going in and seeing everyone's faces, smiling on the bus

"When I was younger, I was always looking at the bus, hoping to be there one day, so I can't put it into words, it's unbelievable.

"All the hard work you put in to wear that famous red jersey was worth it.

"My mum, my brother, my dad, I can’t thank them enough for everything so it’s a very proud day.

"It was unbelievable. When I scored I couldn't believe it. The boys did all of the hard work to be honest with you. I was lucky one with the ball. I felt Dom and Azza piling in afterwards, so that was great."

 

Reaction from Cam Winnett:

"It was mental to be honest, to see everyone driving up Westgate Street. I saw my father on the bin shouting at the window. It was giving me goosebumps to be honest.

"A proud moment myself as well, because obviously it's everything I've worked towards. All the sessions, all the coaches who helped me along the way, my family and friends, yeh it was amazing achievement.

"I had to get 22 tickets actually and I had a bus full coming down so yeah, amazing achievement."
