WATCH: Four months after getting to the shops on his nan’s mobility scooter, Rhys Webb is running amok

Still got it

This is what Rhys Webb dreamed off when he was shuttling up the high street in his borrowed mobility scooter.

The World Cup was a nightmare for the Welsh scrumhalf.

He entered the competition as one of rugby’s form 9s but missed most of the fun with a severe foot and ankle ligament injury.

Things got so tough for the Ospreys man that he was forced to ask a favour off his nan. Earlier this week, he told reporters:

“I was in a cast for eight weeks and was not able to drive.

“I am someone who does not like to be still for long and I could not face being stuck in the house, so I borrowed my nan’s mobility scooter and roamed the streets on it.

“It had two speeds, tortoise and cheetah, and I was trying to max it out with my dogs tied to the back.”

This afternoon, as Wales laid waste to a callow Italian outfit, Webb marked his first Test start since the World Cup with a wonderful, sniping try.

Cheetah speed, all the way.

Wales led 27-0 at the break and will seek to put a half century on the hapless Azzurri to end their championship on a high.
