Welcome to some new followers 👋🏼

Mostly cricket and rugby from the Welsh point of view plus the occasional grumble/ rant about current affairs or just random thoughts/ pics (like this one of Bordeaux last weekend) 👍🏼

🏉Impressive Fiji winger Wainiqolo levelled at 21-21 but France knocked over two penalties through Ramos before centre Depoortere’s second score took them clear at 34-21 in sold out Bordeaux

Fiji let down by poor lineout otherwise close contest

🏉Stress free #rugby watching in Bordeaux as France open up a 21 point lead through Depoortiere,Marchand and Ollivon (Fiji down to 14 for the last two) before Fiji reply through Ravouvou and Ravutaumada to make it 21-14 at the break

Lovely game to watch #FRAvFIJ

🏉#WALvARG

Plus points: Tempo & turnovers, more entertainment

Minuses: First up tackling, losing most aerial battles and still kicking a bit much, injuries to key players ahead of important rankings match v Japan, Argentina hitting 50
November 9, 2025 at 5:01 PM
🏉Promising first half for Wales at times but still a lot to do after slow start and sloppy end
First up tackling needs to improve and Pumas threatening down left
Ruck speed good in possession and a couple of decent turnovers

🏉Wales side to face Argentina. Would have expected Smith to start with Carre on bench. Griffin maybe benched because short of game time? Fingers crossed and hopefully Tandy & Co will get the most out of what Wales have got, with a solid coaching team. #Rugby #Wales
