An emotional Nick Tompkins paid tribute to his grandmother after marking his Wales debut with a try in Saturday’s Six Nations thrashing of Italy.
“That was for my gran – she’s the reason I’m here,” said Tompkins.
“I had no control over that. I went blank. That celebration was emotion and probably a bit of anxiety and relief all together.
“It was one of those I’ll never forget.”
Exquisite footwork ➕ Quick turn of pace = Dream debut for Nick Tompkins. #WALvITA pic.twitter.com/h6uLOHyLHS
