Ospreys, coffee, pub. Repeat. Husband, father & occasional responsible adult in between.
Really pleased for the Dragons fans after yesterday’s result. Through thick and thin they’re always there in numbers, and have seen some dismal days. I suspect there’s some sore heads waking up this morning. Can they go 3 from 3?!?

Gutted not to be heading to the Brewery Field this evening. Daddy/daughter plans instead, which I’m very much looking forward to. Coming home to the news of an @ospreysofficial.bsky.social win would cap off the day though. Go strong lads 💪🏻

What a result for the Scarlets. Managed the yellow cards very well. Defensively resilient. Took their chances. Da Iawn!…

All signs point to an England win tomorrow. Signs mean nothing though. What a World Cup this has been. Canada v France final anyone?!?

There’s still just enough time for NZ to pull this back. Everyone here holding their breath though. C’mon Canada.

Seems Adam Jones is very much a part of the Quins setup for the coming season. Was hoping he’d become a permanent part of Tandy’s team. Will be interesting to see if he’s released on secondment for the Autumn, or whether we go in another direction. Clocks ticking though. ~6 weeks to go.

“I genuinely don’t know where Welsh rugby goes from here” is a phrase I’ve used far too much throughout my adult life, especially over the past eighteen months.

Watched the second half of Ebbw Vale v Llandovery on YouTube this afternoon. Great fight back for the Steelmen. I get that it’s the first season of the SRC, can’t help but feel more should be done to promote this league. Come on WRU, show up for once. This could actually work.

I fully support Ospreys and Scarlets regards stance to the PRA25. Don’t care about funding (to a degree), but when we’re handing over so much power regards transfers and playing time, guarantees have to be secured. As an Ospreys fan, we cannot have Jac Morgan parachuted into Cardiff, for example.

Tough outings for both Cardiff and the Dragons this afternoon. I felt that those tipping Cardiff in particular to get something from today were way off base. We are a long way from going out to South Africa and expecting some sort of return. I do fancy the Scarlets tomorrow though.

Beautiful day in sunny Abergavenny today. Dog thoroughly enjoyed his morning walk and is now catching up on some well earned snoozes. Meeting the folks in town for a coffee in an hour, then it’s home to watch the Bulls v Cardiff and Dragons v Stormers. Not a bad way to kick start the weekend.

Tough match! Sharks just too good. Ospreys with 171 tackles to Sharks 73, says it all. Couldn’t retain possession and clearly came with a plan to kick behind and turn the opposition. One final game to end the season it is then. Definite sparks of something special this season. Getting there.

It’s never a dull time being a Welsh rugby fan. Looks like we’re down to the river card. The chips are in, the poker face on show. Do the regions fold or call? Or will this fizz out again? 38 hours to go.

Had a relatively productive bank holiday. Spring cleaning, shopping, sorted the cat and dogs repeat orders out. Sitting down now to watch the evening session at the Crucible. Zhao Xintong has been incredible. Should be a quick watch, unless we’re about to witness the greatest comeback in history?!?

Did not see us putting 57 points on the Dragons today. Outstanding way to sign off at home. Pleased to see the bench come on and continue the pressure, and privileged to give Dan Lydiate a standing farewell. Great servant for both sides, and Welsh rugby. Diolch Dan!

My final #ospreys outing of the season today. 10 matches, 4 stadiums, 2 competitions, 6 wins, 3 losses and whatever’s to come this afternoon. Have really enjoyed the past 7 months. Now itching to get down to St Helens next season. One more win for Beardy though? Please!

Have known it’s coming for a while, still gutted to have it confirmed today. Wishing Adam Beard the best of luck out in France. Still young enough to make a sizeable contribution to his pension pot and can only see him getting better outside the fishbowl of Welsh rugby.

The hotel, as a long term strategy, made some sense to me. Personally would have preferred the money spent on rugby, but I can see some positives. The rooftop walkway though? Utter madness! With Cardiffs usual climate, be interesting to see how many days it actually opened last year.

Thoughts on Tandy. Not the marque name some will have been looking for. Someone who’s been quietly building his brand for some time though. Eager to see the core coaching team he puts in place. Suspect he’ll need a winning start against Argentina and Japan in the autumn to silence his detractors.

Final thoughts on #JudgementDay. A great concept, but it isn’t sustainable with these crowd levels. 28k in total, can’t have been more than 15k by the end. Move to Boxing Day imo. Public holiday, perfect Christmas present. At a time in the season when it appears there’s still something to play for.

Despite earlier conditions being less than ideal, it’s turned into a nice day. Unfortunately didn’t get the result my heart so dearly wanted in the first game. This second game has been reasonably entertaining despite the slow start. Nice to be here with the old man though. #JudgementDay

Was hoping for better weather today. Open roof, running rugby unaffected by the conditions. Guess it wasn’t meant to be. Should still be a cracking day out though. Head says Cardiff/Scarlets, heart says Ospreys/Dragons. C’mon heart! #JudgementDay

Gallagher Premiership becoming a franchise league is totally the wrong move imo. Does nothing other than create a competitor to the URC. UK rugby should be throwing out historic rivalries for the good of the game. Time for one league in the UK. There isn’t enough money to go around.
