Six Wales internationals have been left without a club after Worcester Warriors Women withdrew from this season’s league and cup competitions with immediate effect. Worcester’s men’s team entered administration in September 2022 but the women’s team secured backing that allowed them to carry on playing.

The Wales squad have arrived home from France and it turns out there are different ways of reacting to losing a Rugby World Cup quarter-final. You did not need to know the results, or have watched the games, the faces of Wales, Ireland and France players gave it away.

March 27th, 2010. It was a clear, bright South Wales afternoon and the most galactic of ‘Galacticos’ Ospreys sides had arrived in Newport to take on the Dragons. The starting XV reads like a fantasy draft: a Jerry Collins-Marty Holah-Ryan Jones back-row; Jonathan Thomas and Ian Evans in the second-row boiler room; a Welsh international front-row of Paul James, Huw Bennett and Adam Jones; and behind the scrum, the likes of Mike Phillips, Tommy Bowe, James Hook and Lee Byrne.

Emotional former Newport forward Simon Raiwalui was proud that his Fiji players were still fighting to the very end of their World Cup campaign and thought they had laid the foundation for a bright future for the island nation in the 15-man game. The Fijians went down 30-24 to England in their quarter-final at the Velodrome on Sunday, coming up short in their pursuit of a try that would have given them a stunning last-gasp upset.

Dan Biggar feels that the future is bright for Wales after his Test career drew to a close despite the agonising Rugby World Cup exit. The Wales fly-half bowed out at Stade Velodrome as hopes of reaching a third World Cup semi-final in the last four tournaments were ended by Argentina.

Wales wing Josh Adams believes that World Cup co-captains Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake will be “massive figureheads” during the build-up to Australia 2027. The dust has yet to on Wales’ World Cup campaign in France, which was ended by quarter-final opponents Argentina.

Warren Gatland had opened the debate over his future as Wales coach by claiming: “If the union want to get rid of me, then they’re completely entitled to do that. That’s up to them.” Gatland is raking over the ashes of Wales’ 29-17 defeat to Argentina in their Marseille World Cup quarter-final. His deal with the Welsh Rugby Union contains a break clause to allow for a review after this tournament, but if he is given the green light to continue his contract would run on until the next tournament in 2027.

Wales fly-half Dan Biggar will banish any thoughts of Test rugby retirement when he lines up in Saturday’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Argentina. The 33-year-old wins his 112th cap at Stade Velodrome – and it will be a final Wales appearance if Argentina triumph.

The Rugby World Cup quarter-finals kick off with a banger in Marseille, as Wales meet Argentina for the right to face either Ireland or New Zealand in Saint-Denis in the last four. Wales have yet to put a foot wrong in France, qualifying out of Pool C with 19 points and four wins in four matches, rounding off the first stage of the competition with a 43-19 win over Georgia in Nantes last Saturday.

George North will make Welsh rugby history on Saturday when he plays in his fourth Rugby World Cup quarter-final. At 31 – and almost 13 years after he made his Test debut – North will complete an outstanding personal achievement.

By Paul Jones Dan Biggar and Liam Williams have been passed fit to start Wales’ World Cup quarter-final against Argentina on Saturday. Biggar has been struggling with a chest injury and Williams was a doubt because of a knee problem, but they have been given the all-clear for the Stade Velodrome showdown and start at […]

Wales have been backed by Australian legend David Campese to comfortably dispose of Argentina in Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final. The former Wallabies wing – whose own team failed to make it out of Wales’ pool – believes Wales will win by 15 points and insists the key figure will be Wales outside-half Dan Biggar.

Welsh fans were in a great place to witness what might have been the best weekend of rugby ever, starting with a mechanical elephant and ending with a Portuguese flourish. Nantes, either in the stadium or in a bar with a TV, was a special place to be.

Wales’ walking wounded have broken into a jog. That was the message from the Wales camp out in France as they try to heal bodies and soothe aches ahead of their World quarter-final clash against Argentina on Saturday.

Will Rowlands says it was Wales’ “minimum standard” to reach the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals. Wales have arrived at the knockout phase for a fourth successive tournament. They went on to make the last four in 2011 and 2019.

Taulupe Faletau may have been ruled out of the World Cup, but Wales’ head of physical performance Huw Bennett is hopeful everybody else will be available for selection for this weekend’s quarter-final against Argentina in Marseille. Gareth Anscombe was forced to miss the final pool win over Georgia after getting injured in the warm-up, while Liam Williams left the field early to protect a leg injury.

Louis Rees-Zammit is firmly in the frame to emulate his Wales colleague Josh Adams as top try-scorer at a Rugby World Cup. But Gloucester wing Rees-Zammit says that team success is the “end goal” as Wales build towards a World Cup quarter-final against Argentina in Marseille next Saturday.

Warren Gatland prefers ancient history to modern history, which is why he reckons Wales will beat Georgia on Saturday. The Wales coach has been talking about Wales’ final Pool C opponents at the Rugby World Cup, the Georgians.

From Hamish Stuart in France Wales may have been handed a break in their fixtures before this weekend, but plenty of Wales fans have stayed out in France and remain at the party. There were lots of Welsh jerseys at the Uruguay v Namibia game in Lyon and a bit of Welsh singing during the […]

Jonathan Humphreys says that Wales “cannot afford to go off-script” when they tackle Rugby World Cup opponents Georgia in Nantes on Saturday. Wales need a point from their Pool C finale to win the group, having already secured a quarter-final place through beating Australia by a record 40-6 scoreline nine days ago.
