On 15th December 1917, a Cardiff Ladies XV put together by "Ma" Rosser (in the hat) ran out at the Arms Park.
This is the earliest known photo of a womens rugby team.
We understand one of the bidders for Cardiff rugby are keen to reintroduce a womens team.
Hint: It isn't Y11.

Can’t blame any of these lads for putting their career and livelihood first. What a loss for Welsh club rugby fans. Better for Wales though for them to be playing at premiership level weekly? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Word of the Day is ‘tandsmør’, from Danish. It describes bread that is buttered so thickly you can see tooth marks in it after every bite. Its literal translation? ‘Tooth butter’.

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

All journalists should bend the knee to the work of the obituarist, the one discipline which enables the practitioner to get a byline from beyond the grave. Ronald Bergen predeceased his subject Robert Redford by 5 years, but left behind a truly masterful obit.

Great piece on the Welsh government’s 20mph policy by @willhaycardiff.bsky.social
“What is great about evidence based policy is that it has a wonderful habit of working”
Inspiration for England as DfT work on the promised road safety strategy.

Turns out the 20mph limit was great idea!
Two years on from the controversial policy, it's becoming increasingly clear that the doubters were wrong

I think it’s hard to overstate the anger in parts of Wales that everything seems to be on the table with regards to saving steel making in Scunthorpe whereas this seemingly wasn’t the case for Port Talbot.

This company likes to portray itself as akin to numerous small local brewers. It is, in fact, a giant corporation backed by a US private equity firm.
James Watt Brewdog's CEO is worth £262,000,000 he is refusing to raise the wage of his staff in London by the £1 an hour to keep them at the National Living Wage.
Brewdog is apparently a 'nice' company, but wage freezes don't seem very nice.
Do they?
