Performance sport is often decided in moments, not minutes. A 1-point loss for Cardiff Met RFC vs Hartpury to close the BUCS Super Rugby regular season. A real game of two halves and a reminder of the fine margins that exist in performance environments. 🧵

@JDVance @CharliePhill22 The irony and one’s undiluted quest for power and influence, which will ultimately lead to their significant demise and path to irrelevance.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

@CardiffMetRFC What a finish, great effort🙌🏻🏹🏹

4th try for Met, scored by Jac Morris! Ross McKay converts again! 🟣 5-26 🏹 #archers #bucssuperrugby

BOARD OF PEACE - Season 1

@simonrug Surely that’s the minimum requirement of an international call up. First interaction with the player is so important. But pleased to read Tandy has done this, which I believe hasn’t always been the case🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It was also revealing to hear that Wales head coach Steve Tandy rang Brodie Coghlan personally to tell him the good news. An early indication of the hands-on man management style we can expect from Tandy.

Just had a good chat with new Wales squad member Brodie Coghlan down at Rodney Parade. It’s fair to say the uncapped Dragons hooker is absolutely buzzing at his call up. Great to see how much representing Wales still means to young players.

Not a dry eye in the house when this was played at the end of the formalities at the @CardiffMetRFC 75th Anniversary Dinner tonight. #AlwaysAnArcher
