🏉Leinster come back to beat Dragons 24-10 after 2 tries from wing Kenny in the second quarter

Late pressure from home side but no cutting edge as ref lets Leinster flanker Penny off a suspicious tackle

Irish strength in depth tells as supersub RG Snyman grabs the crucial try #DRAvLEI

🏉If playing an international on a URC weekend wasn’t bad enough, Dragons’ fixture coincides with a Pontypool v Newport SRC derby.

Joined up thinking anyone?

🏉Dragons lead Leinster 7-5 at HT after visitors have 2 yellow cards

Screech close range try as Dragons recover from conceding after 3 mins

Mackenzie Martin carrying well

For once Dragons getting on the right side of ref - can they keep it up for a shock win?

🏏Good to see Ben Kellaway get a 50 for England Lions in Perth

Although the tourists are struggling, batting 75 and 72 overs is rather better than the seniors…..

🏉Fine performance from Wales in attack with excellent finishes from Rogers creating history with his hat trick & LRZ

Overall a positive performance despite conceding 50

But simply didn’t have enough possession & NZ had an extra gear with Wales missing first up tackles and discipline #WALvNZL
November 22, 2025 at 5:07 PM
🏉10 point deficit for Wales at HT much better than expected with two lovely tries created, but soft defence for NZ second try.

Perhaps the union could work on being able to see the first 5 mins of the game?
November 22, 2025 at 3:59 PM
🏏Well that escalated quickly 🫣

Perhaps England could work on a Plan B in their spare time?

Listening to the Catatonia first LP- had forgotten how good it was…

Also Karaoke Queen’s mysteriously missing from the box set - did they hate it that much?

Welcome to some new followers 👋🏼

Mostly cricket and rugby from the Welsh point of view plus the occasional grumble/ rant about current affairs or just random thoughts/ pics (like this one of Bordeaux last weekend) 👍🏼

🏉Impressive Fiji winger Wainiqolo levelled at 21-21 but France knocked over two penalties through Ramos before centre Depoortere’s second score took them clear at 34-21 in sold out Bordeaux

Fiji let down by poor lineout otherwise close contest

🏉Stress free #rugby watching in Bordeaux as France open up a 21 point lead through Depoortiere,Marchand and Ollivon (Fiji down to 14 for the last two) before Fiji reply through Ravouvou and Ravutaumada to make it 21-14 at the break

Lovely game to watch #FRAvFIJ

🏉Scrum V Live TV returns with games over Christmas period

A reminder that going down to 3 pro clubs would halve the number of derbies….

🏉Most important game of the month for Wales with World Cup seedings at stake 😬
November 13, 2025 at 1:26 PM
🏉#WALvARG

Plus points: Tempo & turnovers, more entertainment

Minuses: First up tackling, losing most aerial battles and still kicking a bit much, injuries to key players ahead of important rankings match v Japan, Argentina hitting 50
November 9, 2025 at 5:01 PM
🏉Promising first half for Wales at times but still a lot to do after slow start and sloppy end
First up tackling needs to improve and Pumas threatening down left
Ruck speed good in possession and a couple of decent turnovers
