🏉 Rugby Roundup: Exciting Times Ahead for Welsh Rugby! 🇨🇾
Big news for Welsh rugby fans! The spotlight is on Super Rygbi Cymru (SRC) as former Wales captain Sam Warburton and ex-international Scott Baldwin rally for more support. With talks of reducing professional clubs, they believe it’s time to “supercharge” the SRC to keep our national and professional sides top-notch. Baldwin, now coaching in the SRC, emphasises the league’s huge potential and the invaluable experience it offers young players. 🏆
Meanwhile, Ospreys boss Mark Jones candidly discusses the impact of ongoing uncertainties around team cuts. Despite challenges, his players remain resilient, focusing on a strong kick-off for the new URC season. It’s all about controlling what’s within reach and leaving the rest behind, says Jones. 🏉
On the international stage, congrats to Australia’s James Slipper who joins an elite club, becoming his nation’s first to hit 150 caps, sharing this milestone with legends like Alun Wyn Jones. 🎉
In other action, Sale Sharks made a big statement with a 27-10 victory over Gloucester in the Premiership opener. Alex Sanderson lauds his team’s ambition and hails George Ford’s outstanding performance. Gloucester’s Skivington, despite a late slump, remains determined to bounce back. 💪
And let’s not forget Worcester Warriors, who just signed promising Welsh flanker George Young. Exciting times in the English Championship as Young looks forward to growing with his new team. 🏉
