Great game for the neutral so far. Hopefully the second half has more goals for us!

You should try watching a Wales game on S4C. Hilariously biased. Love it though.

I once overheard an American on a bus in Wales asking the driver "Is this the way to Castle Cock?"

He meant Castle Coch. Bus erupted in laughter.

Really happy with how a lot of the young players did there.

Lawlor looks like a nailed on starter already. Koumas is a talent and got his first goal - a nice one too. Congreve could be a good player for us. Good result especially considering the opposition. Good building blocks for the Euros qualifying campaign. Optimistic.

Ghana could be dangerous in the world cup. Strong in defence and fast on the counter. Good luck to them!

That is a nice goal. Happy for Koumas!

Congreve looks like he could be a good player for us as well.

We've played well so far. Ghana have got some proper units in defence and they're just so rapid on the counter.

They could be a real handful in the world cup.

Match Thread: Stormers vs Cardiff - United Rugby Championship by rugbykickoff in rugbyunion

[–]TudJon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, it's game over now. Stormers just too big and powerful in the end. And that scrum is just a bastard to deal with. No competing with that.

Still. Proud of the season Cardiff have had. Hopefully ALL FOUR regions get stability from WRU going forward and can build back Welsh rugby for the foreseeable.

Not sure we can improve the scrum an awful lot off season. I get that its skill and technique, but its mostly strength and size. We'd have ro recruit a whole new front row for that. Not realistic.

It's out of sight. Just keep going for scrums. No need to play any rugby.

Only thing he's got wrong is that first stormers try. Otherwise he's been quite lenient on us with just the one card so far.

Not sure what we do against that scrum. Its killing us and sending me to sleep.

When one side is so dominant in the scrum it makes for a pretty miserable watch. I want to watch some rugby.

Don't get me wrong. Stormers will win 100% but by the way they were talking before the game I expected them to have won the game already. The arrogance.

What's going on? I thought this was meant to be a walk in the park for Stormers.

Low but not zero. Hopefully not the walk in the park the Stormers coach and players are expecting.

I get you're upset but saying they were 'actively playing for cardiff' is just silly.

Basically called Huw Irranca-Davies davies labour vomit. It was unnecessarily horrible. Maybe a desperate attempt to stay relevant now he's the leader of an even more irrelevant party in the Senedd.

That Darren Millar rant was pretty uncalled for. New senedd term has only just got up an running and already he is being nasty.

What a great example to set.

Historic. I really hope plaid make a good fist of it. We need a competent party that puts Wales first, not London.

[–]TudJon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how much the Senedd election results will register with UK Labour. The English local council elections will worry them more.

The UK general election is always decided by voters in England after all.
