Ben Fry, the dynamic Welsh forward, is stepping back onto the pitch after retiring last year! Born and bred in Cardiff, Ben’s heart never left his hometown, and he’s just signed with Cardiff RFC for the upcoming Super Rygbi Cymru season. After dabbling in real estate in Bristol, Fry’s passion for rugby is reignited, and he’s ready to make a mark with the Rags. “It’s an absolute privilege to be back in the Cardiff jersey,” he shared. Coach Dan Fish is thrilled to have him on board, highlighting Fry’s professionalism and physical prowess as major assets to the team. Go team Cardiff! 🎉
In other news, we’re mourning the loss of a South African rugby icon. Dawie Snyman, a legendary Springbok player and coach, has passed away at 76. Known for his versatility on the field, Snyman transitioned seamlessly into coaching, leading Western Province to a whopping five consecutive Currie Cup victories. His influence shaped generations, and his passing is a huge loss for the rugby community. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. 🙏
On the international front, Aussie veteran James O’Connor is back to lead the Wallabies against South Africa this weekend. After a stellar Super Rugby season with the Crusaders, the 35-year-old is starting for the first time since 2022. With 64 caps to his name, all eyes will be on O’Connor as he brings his experience and flair back to the Test arena.
