🚨 Rugby Update! 🚨
Good news for Welsh rugby fans! Ben Thomas has been cleared to play against Japan this Saturday after escaping further sanction for his yellow card against Argentina. 👏 It was a close call after he retaliated against Pablo Matera, but no further action means he’s back in action. TNT’s Sam Warburton said he was lucky, pointing out, “Intent was there.”
On another note, South Africa’s Lood de Jager faces a disciplinary hearing after his red card for hitting France’s Thomas Ramos during their match in Paris. 🟥
Wales is gearing up for a crucial clash against Japan. Sitting at 12th in the Test rankings, they’re keen to avoid a tough World Cup draw. A win against Japan, who are just one spot below, could make all the difference. 🏉 Winger Josh Adams acknowledged this as a key motivation, especially after Wales’ 52-28 defeat by Argentina.
Captain Jac Morgan, unfortunately, won’t be part of the action this autumn after dislocating his shoulder. Adams referred to this as a blow but also sees it as an opportunity for others to step up. 💪
Despite the recent defeat, outside-half Dan Edwards sees positives. Wales showed some attacking prowess, scoring four tries, and he’s hopeful for improvement, saying they’ve accomplished a lot in just eight sessions.
In other rugby news, Ireland’s Jamie Osborne is out of the Australia test after injuring his shoulder last weekend. Hoping to see some fitness updates soon for Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier. 🇮🇪
