Rhys Webb has unleashed some fiery words about the Ospreys’ current situation. The former Wales and Lions scrum-half didn’t hold back, criticising what he sees as years of “poor leadership” and “short-term thinking” that have led the club to the brink. According to Webb, this isn’t a sudden crisis—it’s a long time coming, with warning signs ignored year after year. He urges Welsh rugby to wake up before more damage is done.
In other rugby news, former Wales coach Steve Hansen might be making a big return. New Zealand Rugby has reportedly reached out to him as they search for a new All Blacks head coach. Hansen, who led New Zealand to World Cup glory in 2015, fits the bill perfectly. While his return isn’t confirmed yet, the rugby world is buzzing with anticipation.
