Time for all of the other match officials to refuse to officiate. This is utterly disgraceful.

Barney Frank was an exceptional legislator, whose name is synonymous with the strongest consumer financial protections in history and whose advocacy helped forge a fairer future for all of our children. Working families in Massachusetts and beyond lost an iconic champion today.

RED WHISTLE! πŸ”΄πŸ‘‹ Over the next few months, we'll be rolling out a new initiative for match officials throughout Wales. If you see a referee using a Red Whistle - this means they are either new to refereeing or under the age of 18! Keep an eye out for the new Red Whistle initiative as we trial this concept at Mixed Ability level and at the Urdd 7s tournament later this month! #crysibawb πŸ‘•

"Some professors have for many years been giving oral examinations in the old Oxford and Cambridge tutorial style, where students read their papers aloud, and the professor interrupts to ask questions like 'What do you mean by that word? What does that phrase mean?'"

Hell of a game. Thank you @LlanishenRFC1 @LlanishenMJs and @Aberdare_RFC for a superb cup final. Two great teams who were a pleasure to referee. Special shoutout to two excellent captains who did a highly professional job in a massive game for both sides.

🏁 And that's full-time on the Cardiff Rugby Cup 2025. πŸ†πŸ”΅βš«οΈ From the first whistle to the last, every player, coach, volunteer and supporter has made this a weekend we’ll never forget. πŸ‰βœ¨ Aberdare and Llanishen closed the show in style β€” and every team across the Finals has shown what rugby is all about: passion, pride, and community. πŸ™Œ Thank you for the memories β€” we can’t wait to do it all again next season! #CardiffRugbyCup #FinalsDay #RugbyFamily #SeeYouNextYear

Good to have @whs_cardiff @WhitchurchPE level one refs Jay and Evan with us at CAP this week. Both did a great job running touch for age grade finals and joined the full team for this year’s @CardiffRugbyCup U16 Cup Final. Nice one, lads.

Very sad to hear the news that @Pontifex has died. A decent, humble and compassionate man.
