'Game against England was possibly the hardest ever'
Wales prop Gethin Jenkins has just recovered from one punishing encounter - he talks to Eddie Butler in The Observer.
"Three days after Gethin Jenkins could start to move again, he put himself forward for public inspection. He looked relatively unmarked, considering what he had been through, almost jaunty, a different prop from the one who would once have groaned at the prospect of explaining anything about his form, his role, or himself.
Only when he lowered his 6ft 2in frame into a chair was there any sign of soreness after the England game. Only when he turned round to acknowledge the taunts of the passing Stephen Jones and Martyn Williams – "So who's the star now, then?" – was there a sign of that chronic front-row ailment, the locked neck."
