What a joy it was! And despite my best efforts, still a great episode 😘

Part one of the Pod this week!

A brilliant line and a brilliant carry from Aaron Wainwright to cap a brilliant tournament for the back rower. 67 carries (4th in the 6N), 17 defenders beaten (tied-8th), 13 dominant contacts (T4th), 80 post-contact metres (5th). Can't dispute the evidence!

Scotland having a real mental block against any side beginning with "I" this 6N

Just 10 days left to order either of the special editions of the book. It is a superb piece of work that may well be a collector’s item in years to come. All the info is at graffeg.com/products/car...

New Pod! 🔵⚫️ As Cardiff Rugby Club’s 150th year gets underway, @davidallen129 & @rugbyhistorian joined Dan to discuss co-editing the new book on the history of the Blue & Blacks, with some favourite stories and memories. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ogR1...

🚨𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗣𝗢𝗗🚨 The crew look back at a gusty Wales performance in Dublin. We pick apart the Welsh attack and defence, lord over 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 Rhys Carré and look ahead to the Italy clash in Cardiff. 🎙️ open.spotify.com/episode/3m7R... 📺 youtu.be/jr5ayGwkyLQ?si…

Here's a post match reaction I prepared earlier on Global Gainlines's "The InterPro Show" youtube.com/clip/UgkxseD...

A fantastic win for Italy but couldn't they have have scored 3 more so England didn't have a LBP? We at least had a chance of not finishing last next weekend then 😅 #ITAvENG

We couldn't have said it better. 'La performance défensive monstrueuse d'Alex Mann"

Good morning to Rhys Carré and all who ❤️ him

Just remember when someone knocks you back

Nice of Tomos to take the Yellow for all of Ireland's warnings on the try line

Most points weve scored at the Avivasince 2018 where we also lost by 10 points (37-27). All in all a performance by Wales that backs up the Scotalnd game but still very flawed and poor conversion in the 22 #IREvWAL

I wish I was a funny as Francisco

Carré on! In Carré we trust!

*to the tune of the sweet* PROP ON THE RUN PROPY PROP ON THE RUN

Well there goes any hope of taking any positives out of this game #IREvWAL

New pod! The panel re-live Cardiff’s comfortable one-point win over Leinster, dream of what might be for the rest of the season, bid farewell to Dr Smit and look ahead to the Blue & Blacks’ 2026/27 squad. m.youtube.com/watch?v=g4bt...

Both @joshgardner.bsky.social and I will be having a midweek pod later. Let's have your #SHITGOOD in the replies

Cardiff S&C Coach (and, I think, Munsterman) James Nolan bringing the ENERGY

This is a damning response from the Senedd. "The WRU must recognise that it has lost the argument over the future of the game."

Check out the latest WRRAP where my brain definitely doesn't slowly melt as we go on about the WRU and why the regions arent as unsuccessful and theyd have you believe

Looking ahead to the Ireland match but not before we get to enjoy reviewing the match against Leinster one more time.

🚨𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗣𝗢𝗗🚨 The gang discuss a largely positive weekend for our Welsh sides in the #URC and preview a tough trip to Dublin as Wales face Ireland in the #GuinnessM6N. 🎙️ open.spotify.com/episode/4xRH... 📺 youtu.be/Mn7Url8nWUY?...

Dragons with their 15 all draw to Benetton now hold the record for the most draws in a single URC season with 6 rounds to go. All 3 have been at home showing that you have to do a lot to beat them at home! #DRAvBEN

C’MON CAERDYDD!!!! Sent a petulant, arrogant Leinster side back home to URC HQ in Dublin I don’t care if it was their u12’s😂😂 Bar the yellow card discipline was immense as was the defence #YmlaenCaerdydd

Dan Thomas outstanding, absolutely made for that game. Big Al Lawrence, Taine Basham, Josh McNally, Javan Sebastian & Rhys Barratt superb. Harri Millard pocketed Ioane, Jacob Beetham a giant in the air, Johan Mulder with a massive impact off the bench. Could name them all!

A bit more on on how massive thsi win is for Cardiff, our URC final positions and points (points for 8th place) 21/22 14th 32 (50) 22/22 10th 44 (48) 23/24 12th 32 (50) 23/24 9th 47 (48) 25/26 currently 3rd 40 (25 after R11) 7 points shy of our best total with 6 rounds to go is excellent.

Is that a Double Dublin W? Chwarae teg, weather minging, calon yewge, and lets face it against the odds. #therealquiz 🔵⚫️🔵⚫️

We lost Gorton and Denton because of cheating. Which is weird when you consider that we were the only party who broke election law by sending out phoney letters from ‘a neighbour’.

I am never umhappy when Cardiff beat Leinster even when the conditions are awful and the game is tbh, quite a slog. Also Josh Navidi's bar sells wine and it's quite cheap so I was well catered for tonight.

Did you find him under Harry Millard’s thumb?

What a finale! Let's have your #3WordThoughts on that one! #CARvLEI

Somthing something Everest. Absolutely superb win for Cardiff, although I have switched over to the Scarlets conceding 2 tries in 2 minutes.

"I SAID NO TRIES!"

Counting pre seasons friendlies, which you always should, Cardiff have done the double on Leinster this season

Cardiff 8 Leinster 7. We beat LEINSTER. What a result! Huge! Chuffed! Whisper it... could we actually make the play-offs?

GET IT RIGHT UP YEEEEEEE KAIIRDDIFFFFFFFFF

Genuinely thought we'd bottle that!

Great game that

OHMYGODDDFHIWNDIENFHOAKFK!!!!! #CARvLEI

Check out the teams for tonight’s Cardiff v Leinster clash at the Arms Park ⬇️ youtu.be/eEXV1skhKJ4?...

Cardiff 3-0 Leinster HT TAKE THE POINTS Turned down two kickable shots at goal in a tropical storm. Defended well and Aled Davies kicked brilliantly but lineout has wobbled and it’s impossible to hold on to the ball so… TAKE THE POINTS #CARvLEI

Leinster changing their entire front row in the first half because they're terrified of us. Slimani standing up in the scrum to get a better view of our glorious pack

From @optajonny.optajoe.com theanalyst.com/articles/ire...

Always love a chance to talk some more about Cardiff

We’re back! Pod recording later with Frazier, @harleyw.bsky.social & @bigt8409.bsky.social Send over any questions/thoughts on Cardiff v Leinster, Wales’ Six Nations, or anything vaguely Blue & Black related…
