That bonus point is something special

Fantastically top heavy for an organisation with such a small turnover

Welsh rugby is being bled dry by a bunch of charlatans at the top of the sport.

Given the marvellous job the directors are doing, who could begrudge them a 35% increase in benefits in one year!

Jeez. Will you look at those "Administrative Expenses"! Wow!

Huge expenses and earning bugger all from the URC and TV contracts.

If they were a horse, they'd be headed for the glue factory.

Could all boil down to how well Cardiff's stella back row resources can cope with the visitor's front row taking a reaming.

Big game this .... losing points against the big budget clubs is expected, but Cardiff would always be looking for a win against Zebre. Only lost once at home (12 year ago) and only three times away. Not a good week for this fixture. It'd have been better to be playing against Glasgow or Leinster.

Tsk. Cruelly overlooked again.
November 28, 2025 at 12:05 PM
When are they announcing the team to face Zebre? I'm hearing @don-key1959.bsky.social at hooker and @jpstafford.bsky.social at scrum half.

Damn. I've been working so hard to put a consortium together, but nobody told me. My investors are going to be really pissed. Why didn't the WRU publish this date months in advance? Do they think it's easy to build a business plan and get the money men on board?
November 28, 2025 at 11:29 AM
.... as first receiver?

I'll get my jacket ...

I think you'll find that it is the Cwmystwyth Phone Box that is the centre of Wales .... and we should expect the WRU to relocate to Cwmystwyth immediately.

Rooftop solar and a battery is the answer. Climate change means extreme weather event will only increase in frequency. Centralised power generation is an out-of-date concept.
