🏉 Rugby Roundup: Exciting Times for Welsh Teams! 🏉
Tonight’s headlines bring some thrilling news for rugby fans! Wales international Joe Hawkins made a ‘composed’ return to Welsh rugby, debuting for the Scarlets in their recent matches. Switching it up, Hawkins played fly-half, a position he’s only donned once before for Wales U20s. Despite the challenges, he showed remarkable composure on the field in this new role!
Meanwhile, the Ospreys are eager to see their new signing, Aussie lock Ryan Smith, take the field. Smith is set to travel to South Africa with the team, but his participation remains uncertain due to a neck injury. Fingers crossed he’ll be back in action soon!
In a promising start, the Dragons delivered a powerful 45-12 win over Hartpury. Head coach Filo Tiatia sees this as a stepping stone towards improving last season’s performance. The team is aiming to build momentum before their upcoming match against Ulster.
On the women’s side, Welsh Rugby Union’s head of women’s rugby, Belinda Moore, stands firm that the women’s national team has not failed after their World Cup exit. Despite losing all three pool matches, Moore highlights the sport’s growth and the increasing engagement from fans. It’s a journey, and the competition is only getting tougher as interest in rugby expands globally.
Let’s rally behind our teams as they gear up for an exciting season ahead! 🏆
