SUMMER 2011WWW.ESSENTIALLYGROUP.COMThere will be one glaring absence when Cardiff and Wales take to the field in the 2011/2012 season with a modern day great of Welsh rugby having called time on his playing career. Tom Shanklin has been an ever present fixture in the Welsh midfield and will be hugely missed by players and fans alike. Very few players have achieved, or will achieve, what Tom Shanklin has managed to in a career spanning well over a decade; 70 Welsh caps, two Rugby World Cup campaigns, a double Grand Slam winner, a double British & Irish Lion and numerous domestic trophies have cemented Shank's place in Welsh Rugby's hall of fame.Essentially look forward to continuing their association with a legend of the game and wish Tom, his wife Shelley and his daughter Rosie all the best in their future endeavours. Shanks, congratulations on a fantastic career.TOM SHANKLIN ACTION IMAGES A Career to Remember
