"Obviously no issue with your haka, the fans actually quite like it, but we're going to sing our national anthem after it"
"No. We dictate when and how we do our dance, and you must sing your anthem first"
"Awright, you can do it in the bogs then"
Remember when Wales wouldn’t let the All Blacks do the Haka?
Forced to do it in the change-rooms.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Wales did not refuse to let the All Blacks perform the haka on the pitch in 2006. NZ chose to do it in the changing rooms after rejecting a proposed order allowing Wales to respond with their national anthem, per 1905 precedent.

Pretty boring match overall, but that "diving on a tackled player" rule is bollocks and has always been bollocks
Very narrow niche where it's relevant but the way it's reffed the defender just has to sit back and watch someone score a try

That was Cardiff’s first Welsh derby win to nil post-2003, the last nilling of a Welsh side was 57-0 over Cross Keys in April 2001.
It’s our fourth straight derby win, the best run since May-December 2022, and first back-to-back wins over Ospreys since December 2019/August 2020.

A word for St Helens - the result clearly helped but we enjoyed going back there. From our seated position the banked terrace looked fantastic, the atmosphere was one of a proper traditional ground. Yes there was booing & banter but hey it was a derby!

Say what you like, but I reckon Ospreys are really turning the St Helen's regen into an impenetrable fortress. – at Madrid, Spain

Best performance of the season so far. Desire and intent to play were top notch.
We needed that after 3 tough games.
