we are open and ready for you. veteran homeowners, newday just announced their lowest rate ever. the two and a quarter refi. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. save thousands every year. kayleigh: video is going viral. a fan ran onto the field and was chased by security guards who could not catch up with that guy. she launches herself at him, sending him over the wall. oh, my goodness. chris, that is compelling footage right there. what do you make of that? christopher: i love that. look at her form. i learned the hard way playing rugby that if you underestimated not remotely the biggest guy on
play in the olympics, which is one of my big dreams. so i decided to do whatever was necessary to prevent that and control what i can control in that situation. and i have to say, i was so impressed to read about your path to where you are, you didn t even start playing rugby just so everyone knows, you didn t start playing until college. how do you go from beginner, what is this game, to u.s. olympian in a handful of years? yeah, five i started, i went pro five years ago, and back then a lot of the players that are here now didn t really start playing rugby until college because it wasn t as big in the u.s. as it is now. i would say i m very grateful to be able to have gotten in when i did. i think if i tried out today i might not have made it with the player that i was back then. but i m super grateful, super proud of myself, and still continuing to try to work hard every day to become better and better as a rugby player. i mean, you are also wonderfully humble. i will tell y
your best friend, your soulmate has got a five to ten year management plan, to think about the potential inevitability of being a single parent to darcey, and holly and isobel losing their dad at a young age is a huge fear for me. are you and your doctors in any doubt that what you have suffered is as a direct result of repetitive blows to your head? yeah, that was his words and that s in my 50 page report. the damage was caused by repetitive head knocks from playing rugby professionally for 14 years. like thousands of other welsh youngsters, alix began playing at a young age. and every weekend, thousands of boys and girls across wales are back on the parks. ..watched and coached by
