This is terrible. Know the place so well. Watched many Good Friday @PenarthRFC matches against the Barbarians back in the day. Played with @penarthcricket as a teen. How did this awful fire start?
Incredibly sad news to wake up to from my home town. Penarth Athletic Club - home to @PenarthRFC and @penarthcricket - is now a charred shell.

WALvsRSA Wales are terrible under the high ball, but from a ruck Hardy kicks high every time. And not once have they contested a lineout. So utterly predictable. Does Tandy have no other game plan?
