🚨 Big drama in Welsh rugby today! 🚨
The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) is under the spotlight as top bosses face tough questions from MPs about their controversial plan to reduce teams from four to three. WRU CEO Abi Tierney and chairman Richard Collier-Keywood will need to defend their decision, especially their preference for Ospreys owners Y11 to take over Cardiff – a move stirring up major tension among fans and players. Expect a heated afternoon as rugby lovers watch and wait for convincing answers! 🏉
Meanwhile, Wales head coach Steve Tandy has addressed growing whispers of possible player strikes amidst the chaos. Tandy is keeping player welfare top of mind and assures fans that open lines of communication with his players will continue. With recent bombshell news about ownership changes, the mood in Welsh rugby is tense, and the threat of strike action looms as the Six Nations approaches. Could we see a repeat of the tension that nearly halted the 2023 tournament opener?
In selection news, fans are buzzing about Alex Cuthbert’s surprise at Rio Dyer’s omission from the squad. Despite standout performances, Dyer will miss the Six Nations as Gabriel Hamer-Webb gets the nod. Cuthbert and fellow international James Hook hint that coaches might see something we’re not. 🧐

With reports of a ‘player revolt’ swirling in the media, Jones is baffled by the lack of discretion.
