🏏Glamorgan men take on Middlesex H and Lancashire at Blackpool as their cross conference games in the revised T20 Blast Group opponents revert to featuring Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Northants alongside Gloucestershire and Somerset Group stages run 22 May-7 June and 26 June-12 July #cricket

🏉Strange red card for Tonga vs Scotland with no injury caused. If that’s the letter of the law, some discretion needed… #SCOvTON

🏏Good to see Ben Kellaway get a 50 for England Lions in Perth Although the tourists are struggling, batting 75 and 72 overs is rather better than the seniors….. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

🏉Remarkable effort by Ireland after they’d played themselves into trouble with a series of cards! But SA had plenty in hand… wouldn’t fancy the Wales front row’s afternoon next week. #IREvRSA

🏉Not very often you see Porter & Furlong stuffed like that #IREvRSA

🏉Japan win 25-23 in Georgia and will be in band two, alongside Wales, for the #RWC2027 draw

🏉Fine performance from Wales in attack with excellent finishes from Rogers creating history with his hat trick & LRZ Overall a positive performance despite conceding 50 But simply didn’t have enough possession & NZ had an extra gear with Wales missing first up tackles and discipline #WALvNZL

🏉10 point deficit for Wales at HT much better than expected with two lovely tries created, but soft defence for NZ second try. Perhaps the union could work on being able to see the first 5 mins of the game?

🏏Well that escalated quickly 🫣 Perhaps England could work on a Plan B in their spare time?

Listening to the Catatonia first LP- had forgotten how good it was… Also Karaoke Queen’s mysteriously missing from the box set - did they hate it that much?

🏉Deaves debut, Hawkins back- 5 Wales changes v NZ www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Welcome to some new followers 👋🏼 Mostly cricket and rugby from the Welsh point of view plus the occasional grumble/ rant about current affairs or just random thoughts/ pics (like this one of Bordeaux last weekend) 👍🏼

🏉Wales take on Fiji (neutral venue), Argentina (a) & South Africa (a) in July followed by Japan, New Zealand & Australia at home next November www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Match report for #FRAvFIJ Galthie needs to win, with style next weekend, against a rusty Australia, or this ANS campaign will be seen as a failure uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/depoort...

🏉Impressive Fiji winger Wainiqolo levelled at 21-21 but France knocked over two penalties through Ramos before centre Depoortere’s second score took them clear at 34-21 in sold out Bordeaux Fiji let down by poor lineout otherwise close contest #FRAvFIJ

🏉Stress free #rugby watching in Bordeaux as France open up a 21 point lead through Depoortiere,Marchand and Ollivon (Fiji down to 14 for the last two) before Fiji reply through Ravouvou and Ravutaumada to make it 21-14 at the break Lovely game to watch #FRAvFIJ

🏉Cheered that one over from long distance - relief of second tier seeding for #RWC2027 #WALvJAP #FRAvFIJ

🏉Scrum V Live TV returns with games over Christmas period A reminder that going down to 3 pro clubs would halve the number of derbies….

🏉Most important game of the month for Wales with World Cup seedings at stake 😬

🏏Priest to stay with Glamorgan #Cricket www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

🏉#WALvARG Plus points: Tempo & turnovers, more entertainment Minuses: First up tackling, losing most aerial battles and still kicking a bit much, injuries to key players ahead of important rankings match v Japan, Argentina hitting 50

🏉Promising first half for Wales at times but still a lot to do after slow start and sloppy end First up tackling needs to improve and Pumas threatening down left Ruck speed good in possession and a couple of decent turnovers #WALvARG

🏉So near but yet so far for Scotland.. tremendous second half in vain 🆚 NZ

🏉Wales may be relieved to see Japan’s 41-10 defeat in Ireland, given the importance of next week’s game for RWC rankings🧐

🏏Welcome news for most… #Cricket #BBCCricket

🏉Wales side to face Argentina. Would have expected Smith to start with Carre on bench. Griffin maybe benched because short of game time? Fingers crossed and hopefully Tandy & Co will get the most out of what Wales have got, with a solid coaching team. #Rugby #Wales www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

🏉Surprise starting slot for Rhys Carre as Wales kick off autumn series? #Wales #Rugby www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

🏉Crock of gold for Welsh rugby anyone ?

Nice day for it …

🏉Interesting to hear what the two sets of supporters make of the draw between Dragons & Ospreys? Ospreys in control for most of game, Dragons finished strongly & could have won it Anyway good to see some Wales players in decent nick Crowd of 5.5K a bit disappointing? #Rugby

🏉Committed and passionate stuff in draw at RP even if not highest quality. Dragons put more decent phases together without having the cutting edge. Ospreys mostly more efficient before fading. Cutting a side will halve the number of Welsh derbies in the #URC season 🧐 #Rugby #Wales

🏉Nerve jangling stuff as Dragons & Ospreys share honours at 19-all. Iestyn Hopkins made it 19-7, maul tries from Brodie Coghlan & Oli Burrows levelled it but Dragons missed 80th min pen to win before nearly 5 mins of overtime! Aaron Wainwright MoM, good to see Jac Morgan back #rugby Att 5511

🏉Good to see Jac Morgan back for the final 27 mins He arrived with Ospreys leading Dragons 19-7 thanks to Iestyn Hopkins’ try #Rugby #Wales

🏉Dragons finish the half strongly with a Rhodri Williams score after Thomas Young’s fine solo effort is chalked off. 12-7 to Ospreys at HT. #Rugby #Wales

🏉Embattled Ospreys give their supporters reasons to cheer as Harry Deaves’ solo score and Phil Cokanasiga’s try from Max Nagy’s clean break give them a clear lead over Dragons, who’re losing 50-50 balls in the air and struggling in the scrum. #Rugby #Wales

🏉Oh dear- premature celebrations www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

With new voting system for the Senedd in Wales next year, it looks certain the next government here will be a coalition. Choice between Plaid & Labour, maybe needing Greens and/or LibDems, and Reform/Conservative. It’ll need more mature politics either way, as much of Europe is already aware. #Wales

Thankfully the people of Caerphilly didn’t go down that road….

🏉Fingers crossed that the speculation is correct on Welsh rugby staying with 4 pro clubs. Now can they and the union work together for the benefit of all? And what happens to those who publicly backed going down to two? Would be good to concentrate on the actual rugby for a while 🙄#rugby #Wales

🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿LRZ back, Carre mysteriously eligible for Wales autumn squad Uncapped: Hennessey; Southworth, Coghlan, Fender, Morse Surprise omissions: Bowen, Moriarty Recalls inc Beard, Jenkins, J Evans, Hawkins, Llewellyn, Tompkins Retired: Rowlands Talented backs but will the forwards stand up? #Rugby

🏉Fruitless afternoon for Scarlets losing 29-18 to Lions in Johannesburg (4-2 try count) Penalty try and late Joe Roberts effort not enough as the Lions hookers score 3 tries between them Scarlets will hope for locks Ball & Lousi to return against Sharks next week #Rugby #Scarlets
