🏉 Rugby fans, do you reckon Cardiff will keep their top spot in Wales this season? 🏆 Despite their strong start in the United Rugby Championship with three wins out of four, Grand Slam legend Tom Shanklin has his doubts! While Cardiff is currently sitting pretty in fourth place, Shanklin is backing Ospreys to rise up and finish as the top Welsh region.
🤔 Why? Well, Ospreys may have had a rocky start, sitting at 13th after facing tough matches in South Africa, but Shanklin believes their attacking side shows promise. They’ve scored 50 points even in challenging games, and he thinks they’ve got the strongest pack on paper! 📈
Meanwhile, Cardiff’s sterling start is being celebrated, but it hasn’t gone unnoticed that they had an ‘easier’ opening without the long-haul travel challenges. Their only loss so far was a nail-biter against Munster, showcasing their impressive form.
On the other hand, the Scarlets are struggling with size and power, suffering injuries and a tight squad, resulting in a shaky opening to the season. Missing some star power upfront, they face the Sharks next in what’s a crucial match for them to regain confidence.
It’s all still to play for with many games left and the season unpredictable as ever! Who do you think will end up on top? 🥇
