The first VFTST of the season covers a fluid attacking performance, improved defence, a fundamental question for rugby and some decisions to be made by Corniel Van Zyl ahead of next week as Cardiff take five points from the Lions. cardiffrugbylife.wales/2025/09/30/v...

PALINDROMIC SCORE KLAXON!!

Some questions need to be asked about Bristol's preseason and general S&C to lose this many key players to injury in the 1st game surely?

We desperately need to rename these Orange Cards. Imagine being someone who dips in and out hearing the referee discuss if this is a red card or a twenty-minute red card.

Bloody hell, Cathedral Road has gone downhill recently. What a shame.

Excellent win for the Blue and Blacks to open their URC season. 5 tries and 4/5 conversions from Sheedy was excellent. However, discipline and adapting to the ref still an issue. May regret not taking easy 3s in future games as well but I'm glad we're starting off on the right foot! 💙🖤

Fuck em up Canada

Happy ‘that Dragons team looks decent to be fair, maybe it’s their year’ day to all who celebrate!

I find it hard to believe a man who married into royalty would want to get loads of money for not actually achieving anything.

For our next pod we will be joined by our special guest Welsh referee Ben Breakspear. If you have any questions for him please leave them below 👇

Insert Ireland losing QF joke here

Putting this out here … my background is sporting governance; I know a daft amount about it; I’m very experienced in it; I advise national governing bodies. I’m one of the very few people based in the UK that the WRU should have spoken to about the proposed changes to the structure of Welsh rugby.

Excellent summation from Nicks in this thread

And we're back on air after what was a quiet summer for welsh rugby 🙄

If the only reason you don't commit evil is fear of retribution, you're not moral, you're domesticated.

Getting ready to record the 1st episode of a new series of @wrrap.bsky.social featuring a new Scarlets presenter!

Oh all of the Welsh players to question Georgia Evans is the last one I ever would. If we had 15 Georgia Evanses we would be a team to be feared.

one of the main (positive) takeaways i had from the Wales game this weekend was that Georgia's bows looked cool as shit and anyone who didn't think that needs to grow the fuck up

Welsh rugby has massively fallen into the trap of making all talk of money be linked to player salaries Salaries of players only make up 28% of expenditure in the TOP14. They invest heavily into EVERY area.

People don't care. They don't care that all those councillors are farcical and don't do their jobs, or MPs don't do their jobs. They just believe the lies peddled by the parties.

Grifters gonna grift

Real patriots don't pay taxes in the countries they profess very loudly to love innit 🙃

So dear old Nigel "Grifter in Chief" Farage has moved from wanting to abolish the House of Lords to wanting to stick his own guys in there. Who'd have guessed, hey?

I got shit A levels and went to a shit university. After that I went to a job of work and now it's 31 years later. Lesson in there for us all.

I got great A levels, went to a good university, did marginally well, and got a PhD. Now I'm working for a company on similar money to my friends who work in call centres/McDonalds. There's a lesson in that.

All of us wish Abi well and hope for a speedy recovery 🙏

Cannot believe that the very week our pod break starts, Welsh rugby is being targeted by some version of WeWork off Temu.

House of luxury are the same people that did the Wonka experience in Glasgow.

It's been an eventful off-season for us on @cardiffcentralpod.bsky.social with my co-host Frazier and his partner also welcoming a baba into the world!

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Nigel Farage says he has never worked in a prison so he is unable to answer a question on prison policy. On that basis he will have no views on health, defence, culture, energy, education, farming, transport, law… or anything other than lying and grifting.

We bow out for the season with this terrible effort, as per. w @joshgardner.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/415-pi...

He’s going to drop Brian O’Driscoll AGAIN?

Well I for one, am enjoying the Lowe disaster class in defence

For all the grief I've given URC refs over the years I'd like to apologise. Watching Wallaroos v Wales is showing me truely the worst officiating I've ever seen

Great piece from Ben, absolutely spot on. The second Gatland spell in particular was an absolute shambles. www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

Argentinian rugby being rocked by another racism scandal when I just want to post my silly little pictures of Jaguardo.

Cardiff's European Challenge Cup pool fixtures; Sat 6th Dec - Stade Francais Paris (a) - 1pm Sat 13th Dec - Ulster (h) - 8pm Sat 10th Jan - Racing (h) - 3.15pm Sun 18th Jan - Exeter (a) - 1pm Annoying that we've ended up playing Ulster, but that Racing fixture is tasty.
