WRU: YOU CAN STOP COMPLAINING WE'VE PUBLISHED THE EVIDENCE THE EVIDENCE:

My favourite bit is where the WRU suggest that having fewer teams will lead to more possible minutes for players

In predictably Welsh Rugby news, the WRU's "evidence" data for why the Ospreys or Scarlets should be cut would read exactly the same if it was a load of stats on why all four clubs equally pull their weight and should be kept.

Tomorrow I get to say "Go on Marika" and not just because he's playing against England or something

Kasende's at the Lions now, ironically, so he'd have been on the other side at the weekend!

This was inevitable. As the biggest team in the world, it was only a matter of time before other sides got pulled into our gravitational orbit. I expect the Springboks to be playing at St Helens by 2028.

For me at least, she's looked kinda disinterested in anything but attempting to score herself for about four years. This'd be fine if she was creating anything, but two tries (both simple finishes on overlaps) in five years says it all.

Squidge Rugby @squidgerugby.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I don't mean to celebrate a player being cut, but for years we've seen experienced heads become automatic selections, regardless of how they play. Wales now have enough depth to say if you aren't performing, you're out. That's huge. Hopefully this forces Jaz to kick on and refind some form.

Squidge Rugby @squidgerugby.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Wales reaching the point where they have enough depth to drop an experienced but hugely out of form player like Jaz Joyce is a proper watershed. The squad has simply never had the kind of depth to allow this before, and now Lynn can start to send a message to players who aren't performing.

The Sunday night games this season are very much fulfilling the eternal promise of the Top14: Either a non-stop compilation of the best tries and skills you've ever seen, or utterly unwatchable bilge that is only entertaining in comparison to staring at a blank, switched-off TV.

I've heard several versions of that, though the Prem seems to have no interest.

Filo Tiatia, Nigel Davies and Mark Jones have all said in the last two weeks they want us to remain at four. The owners of those clubs are saying the same. The only folk who want to cut a region are the ones at the WRU whose jobs rely on cutting.

2264

Squidge Rugby @squidgerugby.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The fact every broadcast, podcast, and discussion about the regional situation now involves somebody saying "hopefully they stay at four teams" is a very telling sign of how the situation has changed. It truly has become the WRU vs everybody else in Wales.

Squidge Rugby @squidgerugby.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Absolutely. The difference from last season's miserable fraud squad is night and day. The changes behind the scenes seem to really be clicking. The core of youngsters getting a shot also seems to be adding a real emotion and excitement, which is brilliant to watch.

Do we need to start better-publicising that half of South Wales were born in Merthyr but none of them are from Merthyr

I'm not saying rugby has got too open and high scoring, but I just excitedly turned over the moment I learnt Edinburgh v Stormers was 6-3 deep into the second half

Portugal's Rodrigo Marta getting a shot at the big time and delivering so hard (6 tries in 3 games isn't bad) is such a clear sign of how much talent there is out there in tier two nations, just waiting for their chance.

He also worked on Xbox, perhaps the only brand on earth more in love with needless self-immulation right now than the WRU.

For a second week running, our video on a WXV game has been copyright claimed so all money is going to Sky NZ and it requires a VPN to watch in New Zealand, but hey, here's Will's look at the Red Roses v Black Ferns game from the weekend... youtu.be/rrFS1390kXM

So how did England steal the game from the Black Ferns?

So the United Colours bit of Benetton have done a new retro collection with the rugby bit, and the headline item is this incredible tribute to the shirt that Wagner Moura’s Pablo Escobar wore in the second season of Narcos. An impeccable fit.

Antoine, you literally just scored one try, to do this directly from the kickoff is just… uncharitable. Unchristian.

Test rugby is still at the same, insane, dramatic, open and free flowing quality it was before, but now both the men’s Boks and Red Roses no longer look unbeatable. This genuinely might be the best test rugby has ever been.

It’s a phrase that took off in football, basically just meaning they play in a very old-school, direct, physical, perhaps unsophisticated manner.
