🏉 Big news in the rugby world tonight! 🌍 World Rugby has backed the handling of a controversial 12-match ban given to French flanker Axelle Berthoumieu for biting during a Women’s Rugby World Cup match. Despite the incident not being flagged during the game, replays caused quite a stir. World Rugby insists these cases are tough to judge on the spot, and usually need extra review afterwards.
In other news, the WRU recently held a meeting with Cardiff Rugby’s CF10 supporters’ group. Tensions are high, with only 28% of survey responders trusting the WRU to prioritise the interests of the game. Cardiff fans are keen on preserving all four professional clubs, but if cutbacks are vital, prefer maintaining a three-club model. Also, there’s a strong push for a Cardiff women’s team, with a whopping 79% support from CF10’s members!
Meanwhile, the Scarlets are determined to build on last season’s play-off success. Head coach Dwayne Peel is optimistic despite the current uncertainty clouding Welsh rugby, targeting another play-off spot this season. After a challenging pre-season, they’re gearing up for their opening match against Munster, hoping to climb even higher in the league. 💪
