My first piece for the Penarth Times as Penarth Bears' centre Harrison Speed made his debut for Hong Kong Rugby League last month and scored a try on his debut. www.penarthtimes.co.uk/sport/256688...

Interesting World Cup draw, at least Wales have different teams compared to 23’ and 19’! Big chance for Uruguay and Portugal though 😉

Saturday's game between Wales and South Africa shows the rebuild that Steve Tandy has got on his hands. My piece for @talkrugbyunion.bsky.social on Wales' Autumn Campaign and asking the question what is next for Welsh Rugby, any shares appreciated. www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/wales-find-l...

The World Cup draw might be tomorrow, but for Wales, the focus needs to be on the immediate future. There were small glimpses of promise this autumn, yet concerns remain about what’s next for Welsh rugby... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ✍️ @iestyn21.bsky.social www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/wales-find-l...

The fact that McLaren has allowed Verstappen to split them in the championship is deeply unserious. Phenomenal drive from Carlos Sainz aswell! #F1 #QatarGP

A pretty tough day for the Wales against the Springboks, I offered my verdict to @lbc.co.uk news on Jonathan Ray’s program. (Image a timestamp of when interview starts) As I type, an excellent win for the Scarlets over Glasgow Warriors in the URC #SCAvGLA

A really grim day in Cardiff, 11 tries and a record home defeat and very little learnt for Steve Tandy's side. At least Dave Reddin can crack a smile or two on TV, Report below. #WALvRSA opensideblog.wordpress.com/2025/11/29/w...

A pretty grim move from Etzebeth there. #WALvRSA

I think the Springboks have brought all eight subs at once. This is a scary sight. #WALvRSA

Moodie has just crossed for a seventh South African try as he capitalised from an Edwards miss pass. The Boks have the entire bench ready and waiting to come on. #WALvRSA

Wales have made 104 tackles to South Africa's 24. Boks with 63% possession and 74% territory and imposing their power game, Wales just can't cope. #WALvRSA

HT: Wales 0-28 South Africa One way traffic as expected, World Champions' power game taking its toll on the Welsh defence particularly in the scrum. Could be a very long second 40 minutes. #WALvRSA

Wales have just won a scrum penalty against South Africa and have entered the 22 for the first time. Got to take the small victories, I suppose. #WALvRSA

Underway in Cardiff for Wales vs South Africa. Loads of green and gold at the Principality Stadium and quite a few empty seats too. #WALvRSA

At the Principality Stadium for Wales’ final Autumn test of 2025. Steve Tandy’ side face a daunting task without 13 players against the World Champions, Kickoff at 3:10pm. Updates and report to follow. #WALvRSA

Post match reaction from Filo Tiatia following the Dragons' 24-10 defeat to Leinster last night for the South Wales Argus. #DRAvLEI www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/256600...

For any South Wales Argus readers, my report from Rodney Parade as the Dragons fall to Leinster in controversial final few minutes. Mackenzie Martin excellent for the hosts, RG Snyman quite a handful for the visitors. #DRAvLEI www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/256598...

Yeah, RG Snyman needs to stop whatever he's doing. Kenny over for his second, Leinster lead 17-10 in Newport. #DRAvLEI

HT: Dragons 7-5 Leinster Despite an early score from flanker Alex Soroka and 20 minutes of Leinster controlling the game, the Dragons lead with a Matthew Screech try and a De Beer conversion. #DRAvLEI

Kickoff! Underway at Rodney Parade for the #URC game between Dragons and Leinster. #DRAvLEI

✍️ | Rodney Parade for me this evening as the Dragons welcome URC defending champions Leinster. Kickoff at 7:45pm, match report and reaction to come for the South Wales Argus. #DRAvLEI

Will Austin joins the Dragons from Sale on a loan deal as Filo Tiatia names his side to face URC defending champions Leinster. For those subscribed to the South Wales Argus, you can read my piece on the Dragons team news here. www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/256549...

New Zealand continued their winning streak against Wales weekend. But, there was some moments of positivity for Welsh supporters to take after a heavy defeat, my piece for Talking Rugby Union can be found here 👇 Any shares would be appreciated! www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/positives-am...

Adam Beard’s job isn’t to carry into contact and gain metres. Yes, it would be an added bonus but if you’re relying on him to do that at test then I worry for you. This whole agenda, like below. Is pretty boring and however many times people explain it, it weirdly still comes back.

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?

A familiar story in the scoreline, but an encouraging performance in attack from Steve Tandy's side saw them cross for four tries in a defeat to New Zealand. Report here. #WALvNZL opensideblog.wordpress.com/2025/11/22/w...

FT: Wales 26-52 New Zealand. A points margin that is all too familiar for Wales, but real encouragement for moments in attack in a great game. But discipline a key worry with the All Blacks faultless in ball retention. #WALvNZL

What a finish that is Tom Rogers for his third of the afternoon, superb score. #WALvNZL

One thing I will say, the rugby is better than the light show, I'm just not a fan. Haka was cool, but the halftime entertainment was far, far too much. #WALvNZL

HT: Wales 14-24 New Zealand. An interesting battle, Rieko Ioane certainly rilled up. Visitors leading after three scores through Caleb Clarke, Ruben Love and Tamaiti Williams. Wales too eager at times in defence, but performing well with Tom Rogers scoring twice. #WALvNZL

I was expecting tries, but I wasn't expecting two tries each and a three point game after 33 minutes. This could still be a heavy defeat, but really impressed with Wales so far. #WALvNZL

A game I’ve always wanted to report on when I started writing, Wales vs New Zealand. Yes, the All Blacks should get their 34th consecutive win in this fixture, but intriguing to see the openside battle between Du’Plessis Krifi and Harri Deaves. Updates and report to come. #WALvNZL

Another quiet day in Welsh Rugby, a strong statement released from the Dragons this afternoon. For those subscribed to the South Wales Argus, you can read it here! 👇 www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/256354...

A first win for Wales at the Principality Stadium since a World Cup warm up against England and a first Autumn home win since 2022. Here’s my analysis piece for @talkrugbyunion.bsky.social, with quotes from Tandy, Evans and Jones. #WALvJPN www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/last-gasp-ev...

A first competitive win at the Principality Stadium in over three years... Can the drama of Saturday’s victory give Wales the lift they need as the All Blacks roll into town? And then there’s what Eddie Jones had to say 👀 ✍️ @iestyn21.bsky.social 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/last-gasp-ev...

Santi Carreras has completely changed this game, but how Scotland have let this slip I’ll never know. #SCOvARG Awesome comeback from Los Pumas, huge questions need to be asked about Townsend’s squad. But two teams is the way forward, am I right? 😉

My report from Cardiff as Wales grab a dramatic win over Japan at the Principality Stadium, with a late Jarrod Evans penalty giving Steve Tandy his first win as Welsh head coach. #WALvJPN opensideblog.wordpress.com/2025/11/15/w...

A gentle reminder, Wales still have to play New Zealand and South Africa this month. #WALvJPN

A crucial test for Wales as they look to remain in the top 12 of the World Rankings, with Eddie Jones’ Japan the visitors to the Principality Stadium. Kick off at 5:40pm, updates and match report to follow. #WALvJPN

For those subscribed to the South Wales Argus, my piece on Wales' team announcement for their game against Japan, with a switch to blindside flanker for Dragons' Aaron Wainwright. More detail on team news and quotes here from Steve Tandy. #WALvJPN www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/256190...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿| Uncapped Ospreys flanker Harri Deaves has been called up into the Welsh squad following Jac Morgan’s dislocated shoulder he suffered vs Argentina.

It was a record victory for Argentina in Cardiff, but there were moments of encouragement for Wales. Here’s my piece for Talking Rugby Union, with a look at the Argentine halfbacks and quotes from Steve Tandy, Dewi Lake and Dan Edwards. www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/breath-of-fr...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿| Steve Tandy confirms that Wales captain Jac Morgan has suffered a dislocated shoulder and is likely to miss the remainder of the Autumn campaign. A massive blow for the Welsh side. #WALvARG

FT: Wales 28-52 Argentina A seven try win for Los Pumas, who looked a cut above Wales up front and in the kicking game. Wales’ hunt for a home win continues, Wednesday marks 3 years since they had won at the Principality Stadium. #WALvARG

There has been small moments of encouragement for Wales throughout, but losing both Jac Morgan and Aaron Wainwright to injury during the second half just adds to the blow. #WALvARG

HT: Wales 14-31 Argentina. Two scores in the final two minutes for Los Pumas, an encouraging Welsh performance with ball in hand, but a concern defensively. #WALvARG

An excellent opening quarter in Cardiff, Wales coming back from a 14-0 deficit to draw level with Argentina with tries from Tomos Williams and Dewi Lake. #WALvARG

Wales kick off the Steve Tandy era against Argentina at the Principality Stadium. Their last competitive win in Cardiff was against Los Pumas in 2022. Kickoff at 3:10pm, updates and match report to follow. #WALvARG

That might be a contender for finish of the season (and decade!) from Damien McKenzie. Shame his conversion wasn’t that good! #SCOvNZL

Wallace Sititi, stop that. #SCOvNZL
