And in Wales, the rugby world is watching closely as the sports minister sat down with the Welsh Rugby Union following mounting fan concerns about a growing disconnect between leadership and the people who fill those stands. The WRU is pushing ahead with plans to eliminate a professional men's side by two thousand twenty eight, with the Scarlets or Ospreys potentially on the chopping block.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
