Remember when people were saying Van der Flier should’ve been a test Lion and Jac Morgan shouldn’t. Yeah I do.

GO PATS GO MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP

It's frustrating because these kind of 'performance there/result not games' are usually caveated with "It'll be okay because in a year or two, we'll learn from it and come good" but we don't know if we have that.

what a fucking game

That the WRU, Y11 and Lance Bradley are still trying to lie and bullshit that destroying Ospreys going isn't their desired outcome – while being comfortable saying opposite behind closed doors – is the most despicable part of all this. Treating fans, players, coaches and everyone else like mugs.

Multiple Ospreys players, including those just named in the Wales squad, have just posted this to Instagram. Absolutely fucking disgraceful they’re expected to go out there and do their jobs while those above are hiding and shirking theirs tbh.

I’m gonna make Owen look fucking reasonable by comparison.

it’s okay I’m hearing the wales squad has made some bold calls too

I’m nearing the point of having lived the majority of my life outside of Wales. Welsh rugby has been so important in keeping me connected to my roots in that time. But I can’t keep supporting any team run by the WRU if they follow through with this needless, brutal act. No Ospreys. No Wales. 🖕🏻

The deal is not yet final. There will be a way to fight this, to show that nobody but the WRU wants the death of Wales' most successful region. It's time to find them and fight.

The Ospreys final home game will be against the Scarlets on 9 May. If Y11 have the tiniest shred of respect for the fans they’ve wantonly fucked over for no real reason but avarice, they’ll move the game to St Helens - or even the Liberty - so we can say goodbye properly.

This has been going on so long I'd completed so many stages of grief that now it's happening all I have left is acceptance. A huge part of my life is ending this week. I'll be angry again before too long but right now I just feel nothing.

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace.”

Angus O’Brien for Wales please

Dwayne Peel moved to “special projects”

If Tom Bowen scored this the Kerdiff Kollective would demand a statue be placed outside of Millie’s Cookies.

Good to be back writing with Talking Rugby Union after the festive break, here’s a piece on the Welsh teams and an overview of both Champions and Challenge Cup competitions ahead of the weekend. Shares appreciated! www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/welsh-quarte...

you know what, I think I’m good thanks Ben, sounds awful

Clapham Junction, how I have not missed you.

Sharks, you are not serious people, I’m not sure you ever were

tbf I wouldn’t call them derbies either if I got battered in every single one

Aaron Wainwright to Leicester is such a perfect signing, it just feels right. Gutted for Drags fans though.

Dead bottom of the table to the play-off places in six days, we're the biggest team in the world

Mason Gray is shit. There I said it.

Alex Mann frustrated he’s met a master of the game in Harri Deaves. A proper shithouse.

BAN HIM FOR LIFE GET THE DIRTY GET WALKING

Ryan Smith would punch Callum Sheedy until his bones were dust.

ooft

I’m glad PYS can house a field hospital, because it certainly can’t house a rugby team. Jesus wept.

We are an absolute disgrace. When a player feels able to shout 'absolute bullshit' when red carded, that says something about club culture and discipline.

Max Douglas agrees with that decision. I think.

spectacularly awful yet I loved it justice smith is excellent, as he was in the d&d movie

add Connacht to the fraud watch list

he gave his medal to a kid in the crowd btw if he isn’t first minister by february then we need to delete the world

Edinburgh and Glasgow giving a stark reminder to the WRU of what they’re heading towards. Edinburgh will forever been on fraud watch.

S4C’s lineup for the pundits last night was comical by the way. They expected an easy Scarlets win so they got Ken, Turnbull and Foxy. Fortunately Foxy was sent away with his between his legs at the end by the Ospreys massive.

HAS ANYONEEEEEEEE SEEN @edjenx.bsky.social TUMBLE SCARLET, DAFYDD IWAN, RICKY HARRIES, SAUCEPANS, THE HALFWAY INN, YMA O HYD

he SHOULD’VE been a Jedi

happy west wales derby eve

star wars the force awakens is top tier no I will not be arguing this point

how I’m turning up to the Bluesky Christmas party

🚨Some News🚨 I’d never thought I would say this but in the New Year, I’ll be starting a Formula 1 podcast and hoping to produce weekly episodes containing previews, reviews and potentially interviews. First episode hopefully on Monday, 5th of January! #F1

I’ve really been enjoying this documentary about what its like living in Llanelli. Such a shame these people live in a radiated wasteland, full of scum and mutated monsters. But a fascinating look into life beyond the Loughour bridge
