Team of the Year rolls on! Last year, Eben Etzebeth and Tadgh Beirne held down their usual spots in the side. Can either hold on this year?

Literally every phase of play Keelan Giles has played at 9 has resulted in a try. Better than Dupont.

Teams not sending anybody up to charge the conversion is a massive bugbear of mine. What message could possibly be more important than conceding two points?!

Something I really like is not only does Steve Tandy go to just about every regional home game, but he tends to just sit in general admission. No corporate boxes. Coach of the People.

The 2025 Team of the Year moves up front: Last year, Ox Nche scrummaged from loosehead, Peato Mauvaka was at hooker and Maud Muir attacked the tighthead. Do any of them keep their shirts, and who makes our 2025 Front Row of the Year?

2025 has been an incredible year for rugby, and as it comes to a close it's time for our eighth-annual Team of the Year.
Last year, Antoine Dupont wore nine and Marcus Smith sat at 10- Who makes our best halfbacks of 2025?

Took my boy (newly 5) to Cardiff game. He's in his 1st year going to rugby training. We went with his Taid, who is here for Xmas. He waved a flag. He went on the pitch. He met Alun Lawrence (who asked if he'd had a nice Xmas, what a gent)
Fan for life IF it continues. What a thing to throw away.

Crazy that the WRU actively wants this to be the last-ever set of Boxing Day derbies, legitimately the thing Welsh club rugby is built around.

Win next week and it's entirely possible the Ospreys will have gone from dead bottom of the table to in the play-off places in less than 7 days.

Two players off injured before we’ve even touched the ball. It’s like the WRU scripted the game.
