Fair play Cardiff. Outstanding and win thoroughly deserved. Years on 4G means they know exactly how to play it. We’ve got lessons to learn and need to adapt to it. . #Ospreys

St Helens presents the WRU with an uncomfortable question: if a smaller, city-centred ground can reconnect a team with its community, what exactly is gained by removing the team?

Ospreys weather one storm on their Swansea homecoming in readiness to prevent another wiping the second city of Wales off the rugby map. That the Welsh Rugby Union is even considering such action beggars belief.
Victory at St. Helen's! A memorable first game back and another five points in the bag. πŸ’ͺ πŸ–€ OSP 31 - 14 DRA 🐲 #BKTURC | #OSPvDRA | #OurBloodIsBlack

Thoughts on the new St Helens? πŸ‘€ Genius move bringing the pitch closer to the terrace. Still a bit rough around the edges, but you can already see the potential. Get a roof over that terrace and, by God, we’re going to have one bloody marvellous atmosphere down there! πŸ”₯πŸ–€πŸ€

And they want to take professional rugby away from this ground. From this setting. A part of our city’s identity, history and sporting soul. You couldn’t design a more special setting for rugby if you tried. Protect the Ospreys. Protect St Helen’s. Protect Swansea rugby. πŸ–€πŸ€

Just a bit of fun but here’s an image of what a redeveloped Vetch potentially would have looked like #swans

Well done all the twats who voted for the fake Nationalists of Plaid Cymru
Tens of millions are set to be spent refurbishing Senedd members’ offices. Unlike Welsh hospitals, they’re not crumbling. Scrap the refurb and fund our NHS.

Rhun ap Iorwerth is overplaying his hand. Ireland's situation is old and complicated. But even the modern, Globalist SF has a legacy and roots to call on. Scotland almost voted for independence in 2014 because the SNP government under Alex Salmond had done good things. Plaid is in power for the first time because enough people got sick of Labour. That's it. But people in Wales will not vote for independence when they know it means giving power to the current political establishment. Because that will mean more net zero, gender surgery for 12-year-olds, open borders . . . and economic ruin. A Woke republic might appeal to brainwashed youngsters, but no one with a few more miles on the clock, and a bit more sense in their head, wants any of it. Yet I have always wanted independence. But I wouldn't vote for independence now. Not for a bunch of clowns who'd immediately hand my country over to the UN, the WEF, the EU, the World Bank, BlackRock and the rest. What sort of 'independence' would that be? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62e…

23 years ago this evening - the #Swans beat Cardiff 4-1 in the league. Away fans banned. Snow. Orange ball. Swans 3-0 up after 20 minutes. RT if you were at The Vetch that evening

A city’s identity isn’t built on one team alone take away diversity in sport, and you take away its heartbeat. #swansea

Fair play to Rob Stewart this feels like a β€œtake control of our own future” moment. The uncertainty around rugby hasn’t gone away, but instead of sitting in limbo, they’re building something that works for the city regardless. Risky? Yes. Needed? Also yes. #Ospreys
