Cardiff Rugby season ticket holder and all round Welsh Rugby fan so I'm clearly part masochist.
As I sometimes get sucked into the negativity on twitter going to try and use this place to be a bit more positive.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner take a bow! 5 and a half hours of high quality tennis!
These 2 are exactly what Men's tennis needed with 2 of the Big 3 retired and the other 1 likely not to far off joining them.
I look forward to them serving up more classics in the future.

Only 3 points separate 6th to 13th and they're all facing each other this weekend.
Only 2 positions separating teams in 3 of the matches as well.
6th v 8th
9 v 11th
10th v 12th
Should be some close games & I think it's safe to say there's going to be plenty of movement in the table.

Now that the sideshow is over it's time to get back to the proper rugby!
Feels like a must win game if we want to maintain any hope of finishing in the playoff spots this season.

Great win for Wales U20's out in Italy this evening.
Still a few issues around discipline but played some lovely rugby at times. Definitely not short of talent in that team.

It's so exhausting being a Cardiff fan at times
I'm both confused as to how we've come away from that match without even a single point while simultaneously understanding exactly how it's happened & it's not the first time that's occurred
Ah well, bring on the Sharks next week!

Chatting to some Vannes fans in the pub ahead of our game tonight, lovely bunch of blokes who have been enjoying their time in Cardiff.
I didn't have the heart to tell them what Llanelli is like.

Ben Thomas shifting from his usual club position of 12 to play 10 for the match against Connacht two weeks out from the start of the Six Nations where he will likely feature as a 10 for Wales.
Nothing to see here I assure you.

Bit of a delayed post considering I got back Monday night.
Despite the loss still had a great time. Class stadium with the Perpignan supporters club pretty much right next to it.
Perpignan fans were so friendly and really seem to love their rugby. More memories made with the old man #blueandblacks

First leg of the journey done. The train from Barcelona to Perpignan isn't until just after half 4 so time to enjoy a beer by the sea while we wait, oh and there's actual sunshine here! 🍻☀️😀 #blueandblacksabroad

Returns from injury for our captain and a certain Mr Faletau. Plenty of others back in after being rested recently as well. Bowen following in Stef Emanuel's footsteps from last week by making his debut.
An exciting looking team, looking forward to the game tomorrow! 🔵⚫

Wondering if anyone has any advice for me.
Considering doing the Lions Tour in Australia next year with my dad but booking everything myself rather than going through a company. Does anyone know how difficult it is to get hold of tickets for the test matches just by themselves?
Thanks in advance.

Didn't get the win yesterday (which was always unlikely) but plenty of positives to take away from the game (Emanuel not looking out of place being especially good to see) and the Lyon fans were brilliant. Lovely bunch of people.
Also beer by the jug!

My new theory on Dewi Cross is that he's secretly a millionaire who just loves playing rugby, so as he doesn't need the money instead of breaking his body playing at Pro Level he's happy to play at the level down simply for the fun of it.
Perfect disguise on this short side snipe from Ethan Lloyd and Dewi Cross at peak poacher level coming all the way across from his left wing to ghost through for his second try of the afternoon.
His updated stats; 9 tries in 8 games this season, 47 tries in 50 games overall.

Really enjoyed both of the Double Headers at CAP this season and not just because we won all 4 games (although that definitely helps! 😁) so I'm hoping it's something that the club can arrange do again in the future. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon/evening.

What a result for Newcastle! Really pleased for them, to say they've had a rough time of it in recent times would be a massive understatement!
But with two wins from their last three league games they appear to be finally be on the up.

I love that the Quins - Bristol game kicked off 10 minutes after Glasgow - Scarlets and has still finsihed before it 😂

I know the Quins love a comeback but I think this is beyond even them now. Bristol have been brilliant but the Quins defence coach will be having nightmares about tonight #HARvBRI

Such a fun half of rugby. Six tries between the two teams and the game could go either way at this point. So much running rugby, it's exhausting just to watch! Roll on the second half #HARvBRI

Around a quarter of an hour in and I feel like I made the right choice choosing this match over Glasgow - Scarlets, such a fast paced match with two lovely tries scored already #HARvBRI
