Rugby world rallies behind Anscombe on social media
By Josh Raisey
After Gareth Anscombe sent a message out on Twitter and Instagram, the rugby world have sent their support for the Wales fly-half who is set to miss the World Cup.
The New Zealand-born out-half started against England at Twickenham on Sunday in his side’s 33-19 loss but came off before half-time with a knee injury.
Scans later revealed that he damaged his ACL, something that he may have done early in the half, but he battled on despite the injury.
He shared on social media that it was “a pretty tough 24 hours to take”, but is still excited to watch Wales “go on and do something special”.
The injury is a devastating development for the fly-half, who looked set to start in the No10 jersey throughout the World Cup.
He has received a lot of support from current and former players on social media, who obviously feel the player’s pain. Although many are not Welsh, no one would wish this upon a player after spending four years building up to this moment.
The likes of Liam Messam, Quade Cooper and Bundee Aki have all showed sympathy on Instagram, while Jerome Kaino said the “best is yet to come” and Matt Toomua said he was “Shattered for you mate”.

Looked up Grant Constable on google and reply was doppelgänger for Ben Smith
Go to comments“upon leaving said establishment I tripped over a stool knocking some bottles into the air and as I fell I accidently dislodged a police officer’s teaser who was passing by on an unrelated matter there by landing on said taser which caused it to discharge 50,000 watts into me. Out of shock I shouted Ireland are going to win the world cup. Upon waking up I apologised for the distress caused by my Ireland comment. The matter is closed. If you wish to pursue this matter may I remind you what I told Wayne Barnes when he sent me off. I AM A BIG ASS MAN”. Or was it “I AM A BIG ASS, MAN” or was it “I AM A BIG ASSMAN”?
