My son is in Cardiff and I am trying to get him 2 tickets for Wales v France today. I know that they are in plentiful supply, but because I am abroad, I cannot purchase through the WRU website - even when connected to a VPN. Can anyone help me get hold of 2 tickets?

Josh Mc was on his feet jackalling, Mitchell pulls him down and then a Saints team mate holds JMc on the floor, preventing him from getting up. Result is a penalty to Saints. FFS.

It is an absurd state of affairs, but the whole saga shows that they (the stooges and the wider WRU) simply do not understand professional sport. They have to go, the WRU needs replacing as an organisation and the focus has to be autonomous professional clubs.

People say there is no difference between the Tories and Labour. There plenty - but not enough I just wish Starmer was as ruthless with the hard right wing placemen in Ofcom, the BBC and other captured quangos and regulators as it is with its own (soft) left wing

"But Welsh rugby did not suffer systematic [sic] issues in the same way it does today." Again, with this fallacy about the "golden era" Welsh rugby enjoyed from 1995 to 2003. It's just not true. Welsh rugby was on its arse, and had been for decades. Nothing to do with regions...

The premise that the period between the start of professionalism (1995) and the advent of the regions (2003) was some kind of glorious era where the stands were packed with tens of thousands of fans, is, quite frankly, rubbish.....

Ask yourself *why* the French have a massive TV deal. It's because the product is the best around. And it is getting stronger and better still, because it is club focussed. As for investing in Welsh rugby that's stuck in the URC, you're right. Completely pointless.

I genuinely do NOT understand the idiocy of having Putin proxies on TV News, like Sergei Markov just now screaming Russian propaganda on Sky News for ten minutes. We are at war with Russia. When before has UK media ever platformed enemy states who attack our allies and poison people in our streets?

Rugby Australia expect to clear their substantial debt after this summer's Lions tour, while the constituent Unions of the Lions are largely facing significant cost-cutting measures. So who gets what from a Lions tour? gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2025/08/05/b...

Bonanza! But not for everybody.
The most common response to yesterday’s “So, what Is the Lions for?” piece was a myriad of variations on “to make money, obviously, you idiot”. Which was fair enough. The question for today’s piece…

This has merit actually. One of the arguments for votes at 16, which I agree with, is that 16 year olds can marry and have sex etc.

The problem is that doom can become self-fulfilling. Public perception about the country is increasingly disconnected from how they feel about their own lives. So I look at how government can boost confidence, while acknowledging the real challenges that exist.

This seems to be a constant attitude from the front pages and I agree that in some ways it can be self-fulfilling. I can’t remember such a constant diet of doom prior to the 24 elections though.

What can you do with this? I'm reminded of the post-Brexit years where many didn't care if their jobs/ industries/ livelihood were at risk as long as we took back control/ kept foreigners out/ Thwarted the WEF etc.

The main positive from today was how good all of the Scarlets players were. Murray, Rogers, Plumtree all excellent, Macleod easily seren y gem. It would be great to see the players from other teams pulling their weight - a definite work on for the autumn. Anyway, today is about the positives. 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Just got back from the 🏏 and catching up with the latest public shaming of the WRU. Apparently the WRU CEO is in Japan. So I assume she’s met the players to discuss their concerns- as any self-respecting CEO would.

My question is, does anyone actually want the job? Is that why they didn't have a permanent coach in for this tour, or as most people would assume the WRU are completely incompetent and don't have a clue what they're doing?

While Westminster is agonising about welfare cuts, I know people getting PIP for morning sickness, or knee ops- years after giving birth/ recovering. Ppl get £000s benefits where their kids have ADHD/ASD, which are both real, but where the costs of treatment lie with the state, not the household
