The full passage of play leading to Cardiff's 2nd try. From defensive pressure to turnover, attacking from deep, working an overload and then scoring. Great ambition and execution. Josh Adams proving that world class qualities are permanent with the break and supporting line.

For those who wanted to see Joe Cowell's stunning all-prop attack effort for the Rags on the weekend... An incisive outside arcing run from Will Davies-King and then a slick dummy from Cowell just for fun!

Happy “Dave Reddin justifying his untenable position in wanky corporate speak” Day to all who celebrate 🤝🏻

Plenty of good chat this week around how the Blue & Blacks are playing at the moment, the ins and outs from the Wales squad and why Edinburgh is such a big game, plus lost football fans, props scoring wonder tries and misdiagnosing injuries ⬇️⬇️

Pod recording later with Frazier, @andrewfrugby.bsky.social & Steve. Thoughts/questions welcome on Dragons, Rags, Wales squad, and Edinburgh this weekend…

@spannersready.bsky.social #IReckon if Piastri holds on to win the title its akin to Button holding on for his title. - A car so far in advance of everyone else to start the first half. Which was maximised - second half other cars adjusted and champion gets very few points in that part

New pod! 🔵⚫️ A look back at a tough win over Connacht, preview the derby against Dragons and there’s the inside track on a meeting with the consortium who’ve gone public on attempting to buy Cardiff. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c... open.spotify.com/episode/2ISR... m.youtube.com/watch?v=c2ik...

@drtomjones.bsky.social does your stats website collating the positions of kicks to goal? I’m trying to get context around kicking percentages.

Note, Steve won’t be wearing MY hat. But I will still be telling the truths

Pod recording later with @bigt8409.bsky.social, @andrewfrugby.bsky.social & @seimon76.bsky.social Send over any thoughts/questions on Munster or Connacht, and particularly any creative ideas for who plays centre on the weekend!

@taskmaster.tv when is Peyton on the show?

Me - what do you want for breakfast mollie? Cereal? Toast? Banana? Mollie - banana is fruit?!? You can’t have fruit for breakfast….

@cardiffcentralpod.bsky.social three word reaction ‘I hate us’

@jowrotethis.bsky.social when you did your watch through if TLOU2, I presume the video didn’t have director commentary on it? Once you’ve completed the game, you can play back through and the cutscenes have Druckmsnn, Halley Gross, Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, Troy Baker and Shannon Woodward on it

@jowrotethis.bsky.social do you think the battle was done then in Ep2 because it was a way to bait and switch the audience? My wife thought that the WLF would go and help Jackson (she didn’t know the spoiler) so thought the plot armour would protect and move the story that way.

Teddy Williams 🔥 What a player.

Cardiff took a huge step towards securing an end-of-season play-off spot with a 36-19 United Rugby Championship victory over the Ospreys at the Principality Stadium

Honest thoughts on Judgement Day: There are good things about it, its fun having all 4 sets of fans in one place and having a chinwag with them about players and coaches. Cardiff is a brilliant place to go for a rugby match, the location is perfect. It does definitely bring more casual fans in 1/3

Ospreys will win because Cardiff winning would bring some joy to my dried up desiccated heart and that's not allowed

Here’s the Rags team to face Pontypool; - CTG, ODL & Penry back from Cymru D19 - Parry, Brooke & Phillips into the pack - Pollock, Stone & Goodchild return to the backs - Manship, Rees & Jameson on to the bench A few changes from Fishy, just a point needed! #BlueAndBlacks

Pod this evening with Frazier, Steve & @bigt8409.bsky.social. Send over any thoughts/questions after last week’s Administration Special pod, harking back to Connacht, looking ahead to Judgement Day, the Rags or anything Cardiff Rugby related…

Thanks to Lynn for joining us amongst her many media appearances this week! Please we managed to cover a lot in relation to the financial situation, how it has transpired, reaction to the news and what we know will, and think needs to, happen next ⬇️⬇️

Great chat this week skimming over Wales bits before getting into Cardiff being back in action on Friday, the team to face Lions and a big final fixture block!

Love a bootstrap paradox #FNS

The only thing that can stop the Eagles now is Arthur Blank turning up on the sidelines

What a line

SACK HIM IN THE CAR PARK

Remember all the clueless fucking newspaper rugby columnists in November going ‘But who would Wales get who would get more out of these players than Gatland?’ The correct answer then, and even more so now, is: absolutely anyone.

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

That section of play is what should be shown to Gatland as they sack him. 8 phase. Went nowhere. Useless

Furious Italy didn’t kick at goal

Adams was back on too early. Do the lineout again!

Tier 1 reffing….

Italy have nullified Morgan so well

Hopefully a 4 games ban… so he misses the rest of the 6Nations and comes back fit for Cardiff….

That should be upgraded to a red. He is coming from a distance. He’s always upright and he hits him in the head with the shoulder.

Murray has been decent.

That kick by Garbisi was superb.

Asking a poor fucker who isn’t a 10 to play 10 in these conditions really isn’t helping us. Gatland repeatedly picking Ben Thomas at 10 is like watching Alex Cuthbert slowly lose all his confidence week after week, all over again.

I know that the press will be tomorrow and it's really not his fault. Tomkins shovelling shit that was completely telegraphed on

Ben Thomas complaining to a teammate mid being smacked in the tackle is summing this game up

There was one phase of play where James and Tompkins ran the same line, through the same hole. And both timed it so poorly that they were ahead of Thomas when he received the ball.

Wales just lost 30m on first phase after turnover ball

I love one of the stadium sponsors is ‘Duck Taoe’ Because that’s what Gatland was But now it’s broken and lost its stick

Does the Stadio Olympico have a car park?

Italy make 2-3 yards each carry. Wales make 0
