Tomos Williams - never not at it.

Crazy that the WRU actively wants this to be the last-ever set of Boxing Day derbies, legitimately the thing Welsh club rugby is built around.

Santa is like electrons in Wheeler's one-electron universe. There is just one Santa travelling back and forth through all points in time and space very very quickly, therefore he can deliver all the presents in one night

So we all agree this message from the WRU is a load of crud right? www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

It's @squidgerugby.bsky.social Moments of the Year day! Today is a good day. WRU - Hold my beer.

So Domains are a fresh take on class power and features in TTRPGs, but how have they shaped characters in #Daggerheart? @itsnicodegallo.bsky.social and I had a chat about it youtu.be/MANnfxFohIg

Speaks to the eternal "control of the worker" that defines the modern working world. It's not about *actual* productivity, it's about percieved productivity.

The AI bubble summed up

I've reached the point that I believe the WRU are trying to starve the regions out of existence. Provide zero inkling of any stability, plan, or future meaning the businesses collapse, the players leave, and the WRU can pick off the carcasses like the vultures they are

Jac is not a believer in Dave Reddin's vision.

Welsh rugby is dead.

The more I think about it, we got into this debacle largely because people who hadn't really considered what it would involve and how hard and trying and dangerous it was going to be kept suggesting cutting a team so fuck it. Gonna start doing the same thing suggesting we go up to five regions.

WHAT. A. SCRUM. Go on Cardiff!

I've never loved this man more

Say it loud say it clear

Why does it look like every part of each person is taken from a different photo? Who thought this was good

What is the point of this. It's almost like the "Loyalty to your Region" was killed and drowned by the WRU, and now they're realising what that means.

Iestyn Hopkins 🤝 Match Winning Tries in a dramatic comeback Name a more iconic duo @ospreysofficial.bsky.social

Spent all day trying to find a stream of the Ospreys game. Honestly glad to have failed.

So, having increased its spending on various Board members and senior management by 40% last year, the WRU finds ever more inventory to spend on itself. This time for a job which looks not dissimilar to that of a Director of Rugby, which it already has.

Hang on I'm confused over the Etzebeth situation. The graphic lists the specific games he's banned for being all Sharks games (fine). But WoL report that the Sharks cut him from the team for Europe, so surely any and all EUro games shouldn't count as he's ineligible?

I hope no supporter of any club in any sport ever has to go through the endless existential dread that has come with being an Ospreys fan lately.

Fiji in a pseudo-pool stage game, followed by a France QF and a SA semi final? It's 2019 all over again lads.

Think about the best community or fellowship you've been or are part of. Think of the belonging, support, friendship and contribution to your wellbeing it brings. Imagine being brought together as a small part of that fellowship to be told you are no longer welcome. 1/

Wales fans: Thank god we don't have to have Fiji in our pool finally RWC: Hold my beer

Saturday's game between Wales and South Africa shows the rebuild that Steve Tandy has got on his hands. My piece for @talkrugbyunion.bsky.social on Wales' Autumn Campaign and asking the question what is next for Welsh Rugby, any shares appreciated. www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/wales-find-l...

The rugby community was shocked and saddened to see the great Penarth Athletic Club destroyed by fire over the weekend. You can contribute to the rebuild here: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fc7d003113...

It's a good thing this is a work of art, cause it's gonna get hung up in museums as the last pro rugby kit worn in Swansea

“There aren’t enough players in Wales for 4 teams” The aggregate score for the 4 regions with teenagers and semi-pros on the benches: 79-57

Clearly the optimum solution is to keep 4 regions and cut team Wales!

Get in Scarlets doing west Wales proud. In a week that WRU contrived to watch the regions fail and collapse. Two confident wins, and one close away game is a massive middle finger

There's a very simple solution to Wales contractually needing to provide four teams

And at the same time gutted the regions leaving them to play without even 23 players to pick from (Full credit to Cardiff winning away despite this)

@ospreysofficial.bsky.social are we getting a team sheet at some point? I know half the squad is propping up the national team right now (along with our other "West Wales" region), so I get it if you're trying to find players

Hub & Spoke design is a concept in IT & Data used to facilitate access and reliability But I also think it can and should be used in TTRPG Adventure & Setting design. thewelshdm.wordpress.com?p=4270

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Every time I watch Feyi-Waboso being class for England, I'm reminded how badly the WRU fumbled the bag over him wanting to continue his uni studies. Glad he's thriving

A mate just sent me this - proudly displayed in the Stadium He confirms he got his ticket for free

Side note: Anyone who thinks 50 slides is an acceptable number in a PowerPoint presentation needs to be put on a fucking register.

Looking forward to the salty Scarlets comments

I call this one “Fuck off Dave”

Do either of these teams want to win?

Genuine question. What do Wales do well? Kicking game ammateur. Defence mid tier. Attack easily read. Lineout clunky. Scrum nothing to write home about.

Wales are in this game purely due to two moments of magic by Dan Edwards that's it.

Blair Murray, at the heart of everything good (for Japan)

I think Blair Murray more than aything has just highlighted how fortunate Wales were to have Leigh Halfpenny.

I believe.
