Great article by Stephen Jones in Sunday Times today on the influence that Cardiff Met. had on Welsh rugby international Aaron Wainwright. A professional environment & playing against teams in the Welsh leagues which no doubt provided an education in itself.@CMetSport @CMetSandC

I'm an old oak near Crumlin. I was born in 18th century. On Tuesday I will be chainsawed by your government. Birds and insects need me in this season. It wasn't my fault I was born near this junction. There are better options. @deptinfra @JohnODowdSF @ANBorough @daera_ni

As someone who was the victim of an unprovoked assault by a driver, I find this kind of hate-mongering really dangerous. @RowanPelling should reflect on her part in making our roads a more toxic and frightening place. But she won’t, because culture wars = income for her.

Great to see 4 former @CardiffMetRFC Archers being selected for the upcoming @SixNationsRugby 🏹🏹
11 @SixNationsRugby callups for current or former #BUCSSuperRugby players, with 5 institutions represented across the 4 international squads. This is one more BSR call up than last season, albeit with some different players in the squads.

Captain of S.Glamorgan Institute (Now Cardiff Met RFC) 1978/79. Very talented player and a lovely guy.
We're very sad to announce the passing of John Schropfer, former first team coach and director of coaching and skills for our junior section. John was a true gentleman and will be sorely missed. Our thoughts go out to his family at this sad time.

We're sending our condolences to the family of Dr John Pugh, who passed last week. John was a former Pro-Vice Chancellor and Chairman of Cardiff Met RFC for over 30 years. His passion for rugby shaped the university's rugby programme & built a legacy that will never be forgotten.

"Lynmouth swim race cancelled due to sewage release." You know what's most shocking about that headline? It isn't even surprising any more. What a world we live in. https://t.co/abuBsjIxTU

Two bits of advice to those planning to go into higher education ● study what interests you and not what you think will get you a highly paid job. Life is short. You'll be happier, more fulfilled and probably go on to do better things with your life ● Don't vote Conservative

Poignant private memorial at St Mary’s, Dearhurst. Two young cousins, both officers, both ‘killed in action’ neither with known grave. Ypres (Menin Gate) & Somme (Thiepval) memorials to the missing.

The only female coach remaining in the league and we’re so lucky to have her. She’s given her heart and soul to this club for so long now. It’s time to better support her or we will lose her. Give this woman whatever she wants @CardiffMetWFC @CMetSUSport 🏆

@thepaulwilliams Took the most carries in the pack, made the highest average yards per carry, made the most tackles, hit the 3rd most rucks, didn't concede any pens. Got skinned 1 on 1 by a class winger after a great kick.

Double take of the day. (So far, it’s still early.) Rishi Sunak’s local electricity network has been upgraded to meet the power demands of his new swimming pool. Maybe read that twice.
