Carmarthen Quins’ dream of league success was dashed at the Arms Park where Cardiff emerged victorious, setting up an exciting semi-final clash with Llandovery in the Super Rygbi Cymru. Cardiff’s head coach, Dan Fish, praised both teams for a game that was as challenging as it was thrilling. Harri Wilde and Elijah Evans shone brightly by notching up two tries each, while Ethan Lloyd, Dewi Cross, and Lucas de la Rua also chipped in with spectacular efforts. Wilde’s stellar performance was capped with six successful conversions, racking up an impressive 22 points.
Carmarthen Quins, however, didn’t go down without a fight. Scrum-half Rhodri Davies and No. 8 Lewys Millin showed their mettle by crossing the line, alongside brilliant tries from Ioan Nicholas, Tomos Lewis, and replacement Iestyn Wood. Despite a commendable effort and some nimble footwork, they couldn’t quite catch up, finishing with a scoreline of 50-33.
Speaking after the match, Nathan Hudd, celebrating his 100th appearance for Cardiff, acknowledged the Quins’ tenacity, saying they made it a “really good contest.” Yet, Cardiff’s control at critical moments kept them ahead and eager for the semi-final against Llandovery.
Llandovery, on the other hand, secured their spot against Cardiff after a tight victory over RGC at Church Bank, thanks to Harri Doel’s late try and solid performances from Jamie Hughes and Cam Lewis. With thrillers like these, the next stage of Super Rygbi Cymru is shaping up to be nothing short of epic! 🏉✨
