"The job of the WRU is to strengthen the game. But it is fatally wounding it. And we are sick of it". Nathaniel Hale for Gwladrugby. gwladrugby.wordpress.com/202…

What cost the gravitational pull of mediocrity? £18 Million.

The job of the WRU is to strengthen the game. But it is fatally wounding it. And we are sick of it.

I was so proud to have been part of writing @Bleddyn_1953 with @s_coombsy. It's fantastic to see a limited reprint is being produced to celebrate 150 years of @Cardiff_Rugby. Grab your copy if you don't have one yet.
Bleddyn@Bleddyn_1953Oct 21
Its 150 years of @Cardiff_Rugby so how could we not reprint Bleddyn? Just 50 copies. The story of Cardiff's day with destiny. The story of Percy Bush's revenge over the All Blacks. The story of the greatest centre to ever live. Available here: ko-fi.com/bleddyn1953

I wonder what caused those missing accounts for Cardiff and the Dragons in some years. And whether Keystone could have asked somebody for those missing club accounts?

I know Leinster are rugby innovators, but I'm intrigued by this Premier Sports' summariser's praise for their "scramble attack". Sounds confusing.

Bernard Herrmann's score to "Psycho" is an unusual choice to soundtrack Leinster's RDS re-opening.

I'm flicking back and forth between the Dragons-Ospreys and Leicester-Gloucester games. And, while I enjoy a maul try as much as the next person, it's possible to have too much of a good thing, isn't it?

Have to say, that as a resident of Eryri, that I absolutely adore the Keystone suggestion that the Dragons are the most accessible club to supporters from north Wales. By train. Did they look at URC kick-off times, I wonder?

That the WRU have today announced that they published a microsite packed with evidence for its decision to move to 3 clubs, and then: a) forgot to add a link to the English site b) added the link to the Welsh text but require a password to see it ...is very on the nose.
