Well, even Alun Jones agrees Wales could have done a lot better on last weekend’s test. ‘It wasn’t good enough,” he said ”We’ve got high standards and we are bitterly disappointed with the way it went. We didn’t live up to our own expectations - the scoreline makes that more clear than words ever […]

Could’ve fooled me! And against England too! 62-5, that’s not a rygbi score that’s a slaughter! Gareth Thomas says Wales will bounce back. Well, we sort of have to, don’t we? We can’t go down much farther.
And against England too….. :O(
The sad part of it is the play was so […]

Was he ever back in? This hasn’t been a stellar year for Gavin what with all the ingrown toenails and all, but I guess he’s down for the count now with an Achilles injury - not something to mess with. It’s a pity as he’s an excellent player and at such a young […]

And it’s snazzy too!
Claiming the new jerseys will “neutralise potential “tackling points”, reduce the risk of muscle injury and support the body in contact” Wales hopes the new shirts will boost their chances for the World Cup this year. From a female supporter standpoint I say the kit does a sensational job of […]

Until a few days ago I was blissfully ignorant of the laundry list of accusations against Mike Cuddy for some alleged crooked dealings:

Committing a criminal offence by installing his wife as a front for himself as director of Neath Rugby Limited;
Forging his wife’s signature on documents
Making secret profits from player deals;
Reaching an […]

Alright, lads - go for it! We’ve only to win over the Reivers tomorrow and Bob’s your uncle.
In spite of a few good players sidelined by injuries, the Gweilch pack is a good one for Saturday’s game:
Lee Byrne; Nikki Walker, Sonny Parker, James Hook, Shane Williams; Shaun Connor, Jason Spice; Duncan Jones […]

Looking more like slip and slide playtime, the first half slogged along with little action by either team. Heavy rain and slick surfaces made the floor just as hard to hold on to as the ball, and the scores put on the board by both sides were penalty kicks.
Halftime sent a couple of […]

I’m delighted to report that scrum-half Justin Marshall has decided to remain with the Ospreys. Signing an extension on his contract, he said, “The team treat me well, I’m managed well. The Ospreys are fantastic.”.
Of course I couldn’t agree more!
Needless to say, Kevin Hopkins was pleased, stating “We are delighted that a player of […]

In keeping with the rygbi theme (and hating to come down off the cloud I’ve been on since Saturday past), it seems Gareth Jenkins won’t hesitate to replace benched Captain Stephen Jones with James Hook in the half-fly position for World Cup play.
Stopping short of removing Jones as captain, Jenkins went on to say “Stephen […]

LLONGYFARCHIADAU CYMRU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wales 27 - England 18
James Hook is man of the match and it was Wales at our finest.

Wel, yfory dyn ni’n chwarae Lloegr. Fydd Stephen Jones ddim yn chwarae. Ond bydd James Hook yn gwisgo rhif 10 a bydd Gareth Thomas yn chwarae yn ei le; y canol. Fel dyn ni’n gwybod, Gareth Thomas yw capten.
Pob lwc i chi, llanciau!!

Should be an interesting match - especially in view of today’s announcement that a fractured wrist will sideline Stephen Jones for the next several weeks. After leading the team to four losses, I expect in spite of a painful wrist, he might be just a tad relieved to be out of the hot seat […]
