🏉 Rugby fans, here’s your must-know update! 🏉
Rugby legend Jamie Roberts has called out Lyn Jones for making “disrespectful” comments about potentially cutting the Dragons from Welsh rugby amid restructuring talks. Speaking during coverage of the Dragons vs. Cardiff derby, Roberts emphasised it was a night meant to celebrate Welsh rugby, not raise unsettling futures. Fellow ex-player Andrew Coombs echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of focusing on the game rather than off-pitch drama.
The derby itself saw Cardiff emerge victorious with a 24-17 win over the Dragons, helping them claim the top spot in the United Rugby Championship. Cardiff coach Corniel van Zyl expressed satisfaction with the derby win but remains cautious, reminding everyone it’s still early days in the league.
In international news, disgraced former Scotland winger Rufus McLean won’t play for the USA against Scotland at Murrayfield. Despite being named in the squad, his history of domestic abuse led to his exclusion from this highly anticipated autumn clash.
Gloucester’s injury woes continue after a tough 49-34 defeat to Bristol. With key players already sidelined, the match saw more players added to the injury list. Director of Rugby, George Skivington, admits the team is in “dire straits” but stresses the focus remains on finding solutions and strategies to overcome these challenges.
Bristol’s win was marked by standout performances, including doubles from Gabriel Oghre and Kalaveti Ravouvou. Despite their injury concerns, the team delivered a stellar show, maintaining a strong start to the season.
