Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted:

Could HoL being all about fan experience be happy with a set up at the Scarlets where they get to do the fan stuff and WRU run the rugby side?
Perhaps why Moffett hands in his resignation?

The Fan First Revolution: A New Blueprint for Rugby
Rugby is more than a game; it's the heartbeat of communities. It's a sport built on tradition, pride, and an unrivaled sense of camaraderie.

The 82000 unsold figure is unlikely to include the thousands of tickets allocated to clubs which may be returned unsold.
The extra (4th) game against SA could be the difference between the WRU breaking even or making a loss.

Remarkable stat.
8 - Saracens' Tom Willis beat eight defenders v Bristol Bears, the most of any Prem Rugby player at the weekend, and the sixth time that a Number 8 has beaten 8+ defenders in a match since the start of last season, with all six instances having been recorded by Willis. Wilful.

Teddy Williams has carried his 2024/25 form into the new season, been huge across these first two weeks.
Went hard at Munster's maul on Saturday night in an area actually becoming a bit of a strength for Cardiff now after many years of trouble.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"
I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

Yesterday's interviews with the WRU yielded very little in terms of news that we didn't already know. But one very interesting revelation came from Geraint John (on S4C Newyddion). He let it slip that the WRU HAVE read "the other survey."
I wonder what he's referring to there?

Another useful piece of information was confirmation that the WRU board will meet next week to discuss the WRU Exec's proposed plan for the future.
Gwlad will be delivering a copy of our report to all 12 board members today. We hope they take the time to read it before the meeting.
