Exciting Rugby Updates from Wales! 🏉
In the world of Welsh rugby, a star may be on the rise as Ryan Woodman, the talented back-rower from the Dragons, joins Wales’ training. At just 21, the former U20s captain caught the eyes of Steve Tandy and his coaching team, who see him as a future international sensation. Woodman, known for his leadership and versatility, has been making waves this season and might soon be stepping up if any injuries occur during the Six Nations. Former U20s coach Byron Hayward backs him for future World Cup success, praising his mature approach and influence on the team.
Meanwhile, Dragons captain Angus O’Brien is also making headlines! The 31-year-old got a promising call from Wales’ attack coach Matt Sherratt, indicating he’s on their radar despite not having a cap yet. With his skills at full-back and outside-half, O’Brien’s versatility is his strength. Though focusing on Dragons’ performances, he’s clearly keeping an eye on future opportunities with Wales.
In other news, a crucial meeting is set to discuss the future of the Ospreys. With threats looming over this iconic team, Swansea Council Leader Rob Stewart and MP Torsten Bell are rallying support to keep men’s pro rugby alive in Swansea. They’re calling on everyone—supporters, former players, and community figures—to join a public meeting to discuss next steps. It’s a significant moment for the community to unite and show their love for the team that means so much to Swansea.
Mark your calendars for this vital meeting at the Guildhall at 6.30pm on Wednesday, 4 February. Let’s stand united for our rugby legacy in Swansea! 💪🏉 #WalesRugby #DragonsRising #OspreysForever #CommunityPower
