"At that age, you are not identifying the best players, merely the earliest developers: the biggest, the fastest, the ones who, by chance, arrived first. It is like judging the best apple just after planting the tree". Nathaniel Hale for Gwladrugby. gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2026/03/25/g...

Interesting anecdote about the Monday after the Ireland game in the 2013 Six Nations. Odd that it's not in his, Biggar's or Adam Jones' autobiography? Seems like it would have been something to include? archive.ph/idf8J

From back in September 1995 www.independent.co.uk/sport/injury...

The leagues as they were in the other countries in the 5N at the time must have been amazing considering that Wales only won more than 2 games in the 5N once in 1988.

Wonder what players that the regions missed that only the wise eye of Gatland was able to spot?

The WRU finds itself a warm up fixture before heading out for Nations Cup. 13 Wales games in 2026. wru.wales/2026/01/barb...

This is utter horseshit from him. The WRU haven't decided to cut to 3 regions because of journalists. This is a bullshit agenda from someone who wants to be a rugby journalist and is showing absolutely why he shouldn't.

3 teams in the URC not yet agreed.

So 3 clubs hasn't been agreed with the URC? parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

Reports on X that Fender to Grenoble is a done deal x.com/i/status/201...

Just a reminder to rugby presenters, journalists and pundits. The potential closure of a rugby club by, effectively, its own governing body *is* a rugby matter. Please don't report on this kind of issue and then say "but can't we talk about rugby?". You already are.

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.

With Reg 9 release Beard, Jenkins, Thomas, Smith, Carre, Griffin, and Francis will be released by their clubs the Monday before the England game. So until the 2nd Feb there will only be 1 loosehead (Thomas), 1 second row (Carter) and 1 tighthead (Assirati) in the training camp.

Wales squad Forwards Smith, Thomas, Carre Lake, Elias, Belcher Francis, Assirati, Griffin Beard, Jenkins, Carter, F Thomas Botham, Cracknell, Deaves, Mann, MacLeod, Plumtree, Wainwright

While the focus from WOL was about Kane James at Exeter, Bryn Bradley has started both of Quins European games in this block at 12. At 6'4 and 16.5 stones he's a fair sized unit.
