Cyn ddawnsiwr proffesiynol fu’n byw yn Efrog Newydd am sbel hir. Nawr yn diwtor Cymraeg i Oedolion. Former professional dancer who lived in NYC for many years. Now a Welsh-for-adults tutor.
@cardiffrugbylife.bsky.social - Some puzzling selection decisions: on occasions players don’t seem to know where they’re supposed to be and what they’re supposed to be doing. Could this be as a result of so much team chopping and changing ?

@cardiffrugbylife.bsky.social Some thoughts on Cardiff’s recent performances:
- We’re really missing Teddy’s presence and leadership.
- The Matt Sherratt effect seems to be gradually wearing off. What’s happened to the exciting ball-in-hand play?

- Get Tom Bowen on the field!

Terrific results for Scarlets and Cardiff, seriously brave showing from the Ospreys and the Dragons absolutely robbed.

Perhaps the WRU are the ones who should be cut?
