We again stand on the verge of the Autumnal series (what I lovingly called back in the days of Roger Lewis as The Blitz on the Debt Series) and look to the National team to give us an outlet for our patriotic leanings and to entertain with feats of bravery and daring-do. Thousands will descend on...

It can seem like Rugby is a man’s world but women do have a place in rugby, as players, supporters and administrators to name just a few ways to be involved. You can also become involved in supporter’s organisations and that it why I joined the CF10 Arms Park Trust.

So, our second Welsh derby is nearly upon us, an East v West meeting, a rugby challenge that should ensure a ripple or two of excitement. In theory vast hordes from the west will once again pile into the Arms Park with their songs about their players, that charming little ditty about a small...

Entering Cardiff Arms Park I find “Will I be home in time for supper Dad?” as ubiquitous a question as “Is Sam playing Dad?” Rugby in Wales and elsewhere is subjected to a plethora of kick off times usually at the behest of the television companies.

The Arms Park is overshadowed by the monstrous Principality Stadium, a ubiquitous Holiday Inn and the Westgate Street flats. The ground is hidden in the dip between two centuries worth of architectural development and the River Taff, with the fine Gwyn Nicholls’ gates at the Angel Hotel entrance...

Under a dazzling coloured sky and in front of a Saturday night audience of just under 5000 Cardiff Blues kicked off their 2016/17 in some style with bonus point win against a poor Edinburgh side. Common sense dictates that as John Lacey wasn’t the most influential person on the pitch it points to...

The 2016/17 season promises to one of the most interesting for a few years. Toward the end of last season, the much longed for corner turning seemed to have real momentum and given the signings made over the summer it seems depth to the squad is being added to the width we all saw on the pitch.
