The Welsh rugby player who's just blown people away with this remarkable performance

Welsh winger Jasmine Joyce scored a remarkable four tries as she helped the Barbarians beat USA Eagles 34-33 in a dramatic encounter in Colorado last night.

The 23-year-old from St Davids scored the game's opening try and won the match with a score in the final minute.

Joyce, who represented Team GB in sevens at the Rio Olympics, also produced a stunning solo effort, beating a number of defenders as she ran it in from 80 metres.

It was a performance that had fans purring on social media with some one labelling her unstoppable and another comparing her to Wales great Shane Williams.

“It’s pretty awesome to get four tries and playing in that position at full-back was pretty special," said Joyce.

“The last one was a team performance and all I had to do was run. Playing with such world class players was easy for me. I just run and put the ball down.”

Joyce was one of three Welsh women involved, with fly-half Elinor Snowsill and flanker Alisha Butchers, who also scored a try, starting the contest.
