What a weekend for Welsh rugby! Cardiff snatched a thrilling victory, battling back from 26-12 down to triumph over Ulster 29-26. It was Callum Sheedy’s nerve of steel that clinched the win with a last-minute penalty, capping off a nail-biting comeback. “I’m chuffed,” said the 30-year-old about his decisive kick, adding it was the calmest night he’s ever experienced at Cardiff Arms Park.
Meanwhile, in player news, Wales international Nicky Smith is set to leave Leicester Tigers for Sale Sharks. Coach Geoff Parling expressed disappointment over Smith’s decision to move on, praising him as both a great player and a valued character in the squad.
In other rugby action, Scarlets faced a challenging match against Bordeaux-Begles, who put on a dominant display winning 50-21. Coach Dwayne Peel, while disappointed, saw bright spots, particularly in new signing Fletcher Anderson who scored twice. “Our effort was there, but we were hurt by inaccuracies,” Peel reflected.
Elsewhere, Connacht cruised to a powerful 52-0 win over Black Lion. Paul Boyle was on fire, notching a first-half hat-trick as Connacht made it look easy at the Dexcom Stadium.
All in all, a weekend full of rugby drama and exciting performances—true rugby spirit shining through! 🏉🎉
