@sidjudd153 @CardiffRugbyWeb Expedia we're doing direct flights plus very good hotel on the waterfront for about £3,200 for 2 people

@CardiffRugbyWeb Flights only with BA, eye wateringly expensive !!

The cost of getting to South Africa at short notice for a URC QF is becoming clear for Cardiff. A supporters trip organised for £3k per person 😳 The players and staff having to travel in two groups; one direct to Cape Town and the other via Johannesburg 🥴

@GWRHelp Well aware of that Gordon. Tree not train as well. Funnily enough now on a packed train into Paddington. Must do better Im afraid. Shambles.

@DewiJoseph1968 Hi Dewi, unfortunately, this service was amended due to a train blocking the railway. If you arrive at your destination 15 minutes or more later than planned, you can claim compensation at delayrepay.gwr.com - Gordon

@GWRHelp Another absolutely brilliant journey not. Train due into London at 5.12 is terminating at Reading. Shambolic.

@RickParfittJnr @British_Airways They are very good. Why do Britiah people unfairly criticise them? Very weird.

It truly is sad to see how bad @British_Airways has become….worse than any budget carrier! The whole process from check in to flight…totally dire!!!

@ashleymcduff2 Pathetic. Football is so sad.

Least the Arsenal fans in the home end got a well deserved hiding 😂😂

@musotim @daisychristo Its meant to be clear and obvious. So shouldn't take an eternity!

@daisychristo I agree that VAR is broken but (obviously) today I think they got it right. Whatever the decision it was going to have a massive impact on one club or the other and I think the time taken was, in this case, an earnest attempt to get it right.

Just on my way back from West Ham. VAR is so broken it is unbelievable. It is Cardinal Richelieu refereeing. If you scrutinise a slow motion replay of the typical corner kick chaos of this season, you will find all the fouls you want to find. At least we won’t have it in the Championship next season.

@bignorms Why is it acceptable for football players to constantly cheat? Must be an absolute nightmare to referee a game.

Games gone Embarrassing, I’m sick of watching this beautiful game of ours totally ruined by VAR Shambles, and if you going to have it then get an ex pro in the studio

@OllieHolt22 The elephant in the room is the constant cheating that happens in football. Im struggling to thing of any other sport where there is this level of unethical behaviour. Most sports disintegrate into a mess if you don't respect other players and the officials.

It was a foul on David Raya. VAR made the correct decision. VAR is a terrible way to decide a game of this magnitude for both teams. All these things can be true at the same time.

@kevinsamuel @baz959 @simonrug I find most if not all rugby players are very generous with their time. Sounds like you might have caught him at a bad time. I always found him a lovely and unassuming gentlemen.

@DewiJoseph1968 @baz959 @simonrug Wasn't meant to be about PB - more making the point that those signatures from Morgan will have made those young kids more happy than he probably realises.

“He’s just a great human being. He’s so humble, but then he’s a world class player. That’s quite a rarity in modern day sport, to get somebody as humble as that, but be as high profile as he is. He is one of the best in the business." nation.cymru/sport/bkt-urc-…

@kevinsamuel @baz959 @simonrug Phil Bennett was a wonderful and kind man. I met him a few times and he was always lovely and down to earth. Its a shame you feel you have to denigrate him.

@baz959 @simonrug When I was a 15 I sat next to Phil Bennett at a U16s international at the old AP. I asked for an autograph and he asked me to wait until the end of the game. He left a couple of mins early so I followed him and he literally ran away rather than sign for me. Never forgave him.

@Heidi_Labour It runs perfectly well and isn't failing in any demonstrable way so want are the reasons for rationalising it?

Great Western Railways services will transfer into public ownership from 13 December 2026. This is another significant moment as this Labour government continues to bring our railway back into public ownership and put passengers first, not shareholders.

@matt_the_jack As opposed to Labour, Conservatives etc?

Sad and crazy that Welsh people will vote for an English Nationalist party.

@reaganreese_ I stopped at the point it was american food. By definition appalling.

I flew on Air Force One. I'm here to talk about the food. I’m not a foodie. I don’t have a go-to restaurant critic or strong opinions about tasting menus. But what I do have is a genuine, almost embarrassing enthusiasm for the meals served aboard AF1. My food review as a 🧵 1/7:

@SBarnesRugby Its not just France either. For example Leinster in home games seem to have a charmed life often.

For those still frothing at the `French directors', read Rob Kitson in The Guardian. Superb stuff. If it was a bad day for anyone it wasn't the referee or even French TV, it was over-exited punditry. Miles had a good commentary by focusing on the facts not the perfidious French..

@FPLBRFC @davidjusteat @simonrug 2011 was the big lost opportunity

@davidjusteat @simonrug Really should have won a World Cup with some of that talent though?

What a player. Really hard to think of a better era for Welsh Rugby than 05 to 21. I know people will go straight back to the 70’s etc and golden era, but in time I think people will come to realise this generation was one of the very best vintages across the British Isles. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@GWRHelp Instead of having to apologise on a regular basis why not operate a normal service? Due to there only being 5 carriages there are no seat reservations as well. Its an ongoing problem and no amount of being sorry sorts the underlying issues out.

@DewiJoseph1968 Hi there, sorry to hear that. If you have a reservation and can't sit down, compensation is available here: railhelp.co.uk/gwr/make-a-com…. Please include photos of your ticket and reservation, as well as details of which stations you had to stand between - John

@GWRHelp Yet another 5 carriage train. The 3.22pm from Swansea. Now at Cardiff and the train is overcrowded. Another appalling service.

@davidjusteat @stephenjones9 @sied_gymraeg Not the civil service ot the public sector in general

@sied_gymraeg In any other industry , business or properly run Board, the positions would be utterly untenable and lack any professional authority to lead.

So strategy is not deliverable. In the short or medium time, two years of our lives and immeasurable damage to the brand of Welsh rugby. Incredible, just incredible.

@simonrug Any clues why Y11 stepped aside?

Y11 purchase of Cardiff off, with Ospreys and Scarlets to be offered the opportunity to sign the PRA25. But the WRU insists a cut to three teams is still the way forward by the end of the 27-28 season and that a plan to get there will be announced by June.

I’ve been trying to think of 80s and 90s cricketers who missed out on the franchise revolution, but who may have been big money players (if they’d had the chance). So far I’ve got: Sir Viv Richards Sir Curtly Ambrose Courtney Walsh Sir Ian Botham Darren Gough Graham Gooch Robin Smith Kapil Dev Anil Kumble Mohammad Azharuddin Allan Donald Lance Klusener Javed Miandad Saeed Anwar Imran Khan Wasim Akram Waqar Younis Who have I missed out?
