Matt Banahan - who was recently linked with joining Cardiff as an assistant coach - is heading to Hartpury’s Men’s side in the English Championship.

Stormers again then! The Blue & Blacks are heading to DHL in two weeks looking for a repeat of Friday in Cardiff. Any reason why we can’t go back-to-back?

Stormers’ flight back to South Africa has been delayed this morning because James Botham has followed them to Heathrow to keep tackling them and then Dan Thomas appears to steal their luggage. Relentless.

GIVE US ALL OF THE #3WordThoughts IMMEDIATELY

Season ticket renewals up to record numbers! Love to see it.

What a time for an injury crisis 🥲 Still a team that can get a result though, but will need a big crowd to back them all the way 💪🏻 Get your tickets!

OH MY GOD IT’S LIAM BELCHER The Italian fan club will be chuffed 👏🏻

Pod recording later with @andrewfrugby.bsky.social, Frazier & Steve Feel free to send over any questions/thoughts on team selection for Friday, the Wales squad and how much we hate the Scarlets & Munster now…

Mention in here that Corniel Van Zyl is interested in adding former Bath & Gloucester back Matt Banahan to his coaching staff. He’s been an assistant coach with Scotland Women and currently at Gloucester-Hartpury in the PWR. www.rugbypass.com/news/fissler...

Bit late in the day, and not sure there’s too much to be said, but any #3WordThoughts on Friday’s game? #GLAvCAR

What do we think? Teddy clearly not quite ready, nor Mann. Adams the new George North? Plenty of 10/12/15 cover!

Yes please! Scott Sio seems like a definite coup 👏🏻

New pod! 🔵⚫️ Dan, Harley & Tony review the Rags’ SRC semi-final loss and season as a whole, the terrible pennant for being the best team in the league, pay tribute to Leigh Halfpenny, and preview the trip to Glasgow. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c... open.spotify.com/episode/5oaf...

Part 2. In unrelated news, hasn't the pollen count got high all of a sudden?

Leigh Halfpenny's retirement video in full. Part 1...

Legend is the only word that will suffice. 👏🏻👏🏻

Pod recording this evening with @harleyw.bsky.social & @bigt8409.bsky.social Any thoughts/questions welcome but particularly on; 1. Should top 4 be a genuine aim for Cardiff now? 2. Where do we still need to strengthen the squad for next season?

A tough end to the season for the Rags, but a second year on the bounce of topping the SRC and plenty of talented youngsters progressed along their individual development. Ticks in lots of boxes, uppa Rags!

Farewell Corey Dom 🥲 Will miss him as a player, and also as a viral sensation 😂 Go well down west butt except on Pontcanna Derby day 👊🏻 vm.tiktok.com/ZNRgn2VoD/

Pod recording this evening with Steve, @andrewfrugby.bsky.social & @seimon76.bsky.social Questions/thoughts welcome on whether we go for it v Glasgow & Stormers or settle for bonus points, and what you think the WRU are waiting for to sell Cardiff?

SHEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOO

UPPA THE MIGHTY SEMI FINAL RAGS

The club should be offering a cardiology check up as a season ticket benefit! What’s the #3WordThoughts on another dramatic Welsh derby? #CARvOSP

What do we make of the team? A few tactical and a few unforced changes, some very untimely injuries!

New pod! 🔵⚫️ The panel try to make sense of whatever it was that happened on Saturday as Cardiff somehow beat Scarlets, and look ahead to the Ospreys game. Plus, contract news, signing rumours and the Rags win the SRC again. open.spotify.com/episode/6Hbm... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

If only there was a credible and popular consortium waiting in the wings to come in and bid for Cardiff. How’s that for “commercial and strategic sense”?! www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

OOOHHHH CORNIEL VAN ZYLLLLLL

The streets will almost certainly forget, but we at the Cardiff Central Pod won’t. Goodbye “Ed Byrne” 👋🏻 www.cardiffrugby.wales/news/byrne-r...

Chapeau to Frazier for probably the greatest Cardiff-related phrase I've ever heard: "We're Cardiff, the roads to success are never straight." This should be put on some new gates one day, or on the playing tops for the 150th anniversary. Bare minimum, tattooed onto every fan's arm/chest/backside.

Been getting better and better since the turn of the year, great that we’ll see more of the big man for the next few years 💪🏻

As great as keeping hold of talented academy graduates is, it’s equally great to keep hold of top class, experienced internationals. Jadzy 💙🖤
