After the training exercises, the Prince and Princess headed to the Dowlais Rugby Club where members of the team typically go to relax and socialise.  They delivered pizzas and sat down to chat with locals, before doing a walkabout to greet the crowds that had gathered outside.

Cheers ?
Thank you for having us for a drink and a chat about life in the community here in Dowlais!
