How my evening started vs how its going! @wrrap.bsky.social #DotWisBack #Beer52 #NewPodSponsor

Hi Suella Braverman, when are you going to call a by-election now you’ve defected? Your new leader Nigel Farage calls those that don’t “dishonourable members”.

DOUBLE HEADER DOUBLE DELIGHT! Give us your #3WordThoughts on that battling victory at the Arms Park 💪🏻 #CARvBEN

Thought Josh McNally was talismanic out there. A real coming of age night for Rhys Barratt. Ben Thomas with another cracker at 12. Josh Adams just tireless on his wing, a real leader by example. Some big moments off the bench from Dan Thomas, Johan Mulder & Ioan Lloyd too.

Cardiff 6-0 Benetton HT A solid half from the Blue & Blacks; physical in defence, good set piece and held the ball well. Managed the sin bin period superbly but should have been more clinical at the end there. #CARvBEN

Thank you to everyone who took part in this. Remember this is the beginning and Y11 do not deserve our trust. #YmlaenCaerdydd

From @cf10rugbytrust.bsky.social ahead of #CARvBEN.

New pod! 🔵⚫️ Dan & Frazier react to the Y11 takeover of Cardiff, what might happen next and what supporters could do about it, as well as reviewing Exeter, previewing Benetton and looking over the Wales squad. m.youtube.com/watch?v=gXB0...

Getting on our soap boxes as Y11 inch closer to buying Cardiff and finding little relief in on-field action this week. Managed to find a bit of positivity in what will hopefully be an exciting Cymru squad and a massive game for the Blue & Blacks this weekend ⬇️⬇️

Over 24h later and I'm still unsure how I feel about this. As people who've suffered listening to me on @wrrap.bsky.social and @cardiffcentralpod.bsky.social over the last few years will know, I'm not the greatest speaker, but I'll try and sunrise the gist below 1/4

Well fuck

Rhys Barratt. 50/22. On repeat.

While Rhys Barratt's 50/22 steals the headlines, this was huge from Jacob Beetham. Composed scanning of the field, perfect execution and set us up for an important score just before half-time. Still areas he looks a little rusty but noticeably better for playing more.

Loving this image!

For those of you who missed it, tonight's BBC interview with our Chair @LynnGlaister - articulating our concerns about Cardiff's future ownership. cf10rugbytrust.org/2026/01/12/i...

Always great to talk about Cardiff getting back to winning ways.

A typical Liam Belcher showing on his 100th appearance with plenty of industry and a solid set piece. Great to see his decision making as captain always improving too. Properly leading by example.

Cardiff 32 - Racing 13 Yes, it's a heavily rotated Racing 92 team, but I'm well pleased with that result! When we I first saw our European fixtures, I didn't expect us to be anywhere near qualifying for the knockout stages so I'm well chuffed. :)

Really enjoyed how sensible that Cardiff win was. Nothing too showy, no really bizarre decisions, just stay in the game, nudge in front, kick your goals and then go and play for the bonus point. Refreshing!

We’re back! Pod recording tonight with @bigt8409.bsky.social, @seimon76.bsky.social & @harleyw.bsky.social Questions/thoughts on festive derbies, Racing on Saturday, hopes/aims for the rest of the season, is it time to panic?!?

Here's to a great and hopefully less trying year for the club, our members and your families. Who are we kidding? It's Welsh rugby after all. Happy new year all! 🔵⚫️

Good evening from CF10 Towers (Exeter Branch). A message before the NYE libations take hold. 2025 has been a testing time for our beloved club with departures, entering administration and takeovers. However, the Blue and Blacks continue to excite on the field and the fans bring it off of it.

"Harley, Why do you hate the commentary for the Prem?" Well... TnT Sport comms "Why are they going so far back for a knock on? Touch judge should have called it there and then" Also TnT comms: "Why are they making such an important decision so early? Let the try be scored and go back"

Here it is! Inject it into my veins, hang it in the Louvre etc... A huge 8-man shove with Sam Wainwright in particular getting the best of one of the best looseheads in the world in Angus Bell.

Cardiff 29-26 Ulster FT Pure guts and determination, with help from a bouncing Arms Park. Lots to work on performance-wise but this group don’t seem to know when they’re beaten! Onwards to the Turks… #CARvULS

Where do I sign?

Terrific results for Scarlets and Cardiff, seriously brave showing from the Ospreys and the Dragons absolutely robbed. Perhaps the WRU are the ones who should be cut?

Getting sent off for gouging a lad with five minutes to go in a nothing game your team is 70+ points up in is, as much as anything else, just fucking stupid and that’s what, somehow, makes basically the worst thing you can do on a rugby pitch worse #WALvRSA

Yeah that was pretty fucking disgusting behaviour. Gouging is the lowest of the low

That is the closest a decision has come to making me break the no ref chat policy in the full eight years doing this. The referee has a duty of care to these guys.

I've never seen as much rage in anyone's eyes as was in Angus O'Brien's when he was talking to the ref then. Wow.

Rugby 🤝 trivialising and dismissing brain injuries.

That'll do wonders to quell the "Tom Curry is a bully" crowd 😅 #SALvEXE

The @springboks.bsky.social team is out and before a ball has been kicked its already time for this gif... #WALvRSA

Yeah, thats kiiiiinda the problem.

The WRU finally starting to give supporters what they want, retaining kicks and Schrödinger’s rugby team. cardiffrugbylife.wales/2025/11/25/v...

Two huge pieces of play from Dafydd Jenkins to drag Cymru up the field and set up the third try of the afternoon. Charge down and regather, great ruck clean from Alex Mann too.

I’ve noticed I had some mentions during the #IREvRSA game, I’ve seen a score result but hadn’t had time to catch up, could someone fill me in to what happened?

Rugby is rotting my brain

If you like that one, can I interest you in an all time bald XV? I blame @harleyw.bsky.social for this one

Richard Tice, March 2025: "I have never met Nathan Gill, and he has never had anything to do with Reform,"

Dylan Thomas "do not go gentle" being used in a pre-match montage. Honestly, it's like they cant even be arsed thinking anymore

If @joshgardner.bsky.social didn't shed a tear watching Deaves sing that anthem there truly is no hope for mankind
