Oh, and the third highest number of tacklesโฆ
And a captainโฆ

With, or without, a broken hand. ๐ช

Thanks to listeners for their comments, observations and poems so far this weekโฆ๐
We are planning to do an end of season pod this Sunday so if there is anything else (short and sharp) that you want to get off your chest about the season then fire away.

Everyone is expecting a response..
We know the starting 23 will be straining every sinew to deliver but let's hope we have the right plan and the ability to execute it...
That goes for the fans as well...
We have got to back the boys...

What a season @Cardiff_Rugby flanker Dan Thomas has had.
Heโs made more tackles than any other player in the @URCOfficial and the second most turnovers.
Playing some of the best rugby of his career.

We wanted our listeners to know we have read the recent comments from Tom Tainton, and we are digesting and reflecting on these.
Rest assured, we will talk about this subject on the next Pod.
We are a Rugby Club with a proud tradition and heritage, and we always will be - Lee
