Jac Morgan tells WRU he'll leave Welsh rugby if Ospreys don't exist | @benjames1796 walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
Former Wales coach a contender to take over at Cardiff walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
As was long expected, Matt Sherratt has left his role as Cardiff head coach to join Steve Tandy's Wales coaching ticket. Good appointment in terms of Wales' attack, but a blow for Cardiff just days before the start of the season. walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
Last night, our 🏴 arm, led by @_AlexBywater, handed out its annual awards & looked ahead to 2025/26. Congratulations to Jac Lloyd, Blair Murray, Kate Williams and @jacmogs7! Thanks to @PremSportsTV & @WelshRugbyUnion for their support for the evening! 📸: @HuwEvansAgency
I said that I would do a thread on WRU governance etc, once I had had a better look at the documentation which has been circulating ... First things first - the overriding purpose of a sporting governing body is to protect and to promote that specific sport. Above all else.
Tom Bowen's looking lively for Cardiff in Dublin. Just creates something every time he gets the ball.
Part of the WRU's 90-page consultation claims that no top-level rugby nation has a lower ratio of players to professional clubs than Wales. If you go on registered players, rather than total, and include second-tier pro clubs in England and France, you've got a different picture

The holes in the WRU's plan are emerging - it just doesn't add up | @benjames1796 walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
As the Gwladrugby survey smashes through the 1000-response mark, don't miss out on your opportunity to share your views. 👇Complete the bilingual survey here👇 Take Back the Game: why Welsh rugby needs your voice – and why THIS survey matters gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/tak…
BREAKING: Wales' rugby players refuse to support WRU as official statement rocks two-team plan walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
The WRPA met with the WRU on Monday night as part of the consultation, having surveyed players. In that meeting, they confirmed players do not support two-team model. I understand the vast majority of players said they would consider leaving Wales. walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
Wales international kept secret from everyone as incredible rise unravelled in months walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
If I was Fabrizio Romano I would simply wait until the transfer window closes and then see which footballers are playing for each team, it would be much easier
This is superb by @_PaulHayward
'WRU's answer over alienating supporters stunned me – it's complete nonsense' | @benjames1796 walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
Some within the WRU have been at pains recently to make the point Collier-Keywood has been working far more than the couple of days a month he’s meant to as independent chair. You know, maybe he should stick to a couple of days a month…
