🏉 Rugby News: Big Moves & Emotional Goodbyes 🌟
Hello, rugby fans! We’ve got some exciting and heartfelt updates from the world of Welsh rugby to share today.
🔥 Tinus de Beer: Staying Put!
The Dragons are standing firm about their decision to keep fly-half Tinus de Beer at Rodney Parade, despite interest from South Africa’s Bulls. De Beer, who joined the Dragons from Cardiff this season, has been under the spotlight for his sharp play, scoring two tries and racking up 27 points with his boot so far. While the Bulls are on the hunt for a replacement for Johan Goosen, the Dragons are clearly not ready to part ways with their star player just yet. With Aaron Wainwright already set to join Leicester Tigers, coach Filo Tiatia is keen on maintaining his current line-up.
👋 A Fond Farewell to Kerin Lake
Wales Women’s rugby icon, Kerin Lake, has announced her retirement at the age of 35. Lake, a veteran centre with 54 caps and two Rugby World Cup appearances, has decided it’s time to hang up her boots after an illustrious career. Despite her battles with injuries, her commitment and passion for the game have never wavered. In a heartfelt message, Lake expressed gratitude to her coaches, teammates, and fans, acknowledging the profound impact rugby has had on her life. It’s a bittersweet goodbye, as we say farewell to a true rugby stalwart.
