@CapS45 Materiality. 30m out it’s going to the SH and no issue. 5m out and taking out defenders then it’s a penalty. Awful decision and emblematic of being reffed like a tier 2 nation. I’m not one to complain usually but it is an issue with rugby union.

[Cian McCarthy @arealmofwonder]

Exquisite.

@ceritheviking You had hope?

When you vote. What you vote for has consequences. Think about that when the parties behind brexit are making promises

On trade, evidence showed a 31% drop in Welsh exports to the EU since 2019.

Our mini & junior section are really excited to already be making plans for the 2025/26 season and we're thrilled to announce that their recruitment is now open.
Come and join them and you'll find out that it's not just the kids that benefit, but the whole family. We have been providing mini and junior rugby for well over 50 consecutive years at Newbridge and THOUSANDS of local people have benefitted from our programme, so why not join in and be part of the story👍🏻🏉🩵🐷🖤

Survival of the fittest this week as @newbridgerfc welcomed @Bonymaenrugby

Despite the visitors racing their way to a 17-0 lead, a more composed Pigs performance in the second half saw a devastated Bonymaen slip to a 29-23 loss

[Sian Parry @Sparryphoto]

Not the best day at the office for me, as @newbridgerfc made the trip to @YstradRFC

Ystrad took their chances as a last minute try took the win 31-29, while 'Bridge took 2 valuable bonus points

@Bonymaenrugby next up, in a massive tie on the 5th

REUNION
Calling all former players and associates of both NRFC and NURFC.
The Club will be hosting this years reunion on Saturday 26th April when the current Senior XV take on Bargoed in the league. This years event will be an extra special occasion as we look to mark 60 years since being crowned Champions of Wales and will coincide with the official release of the book recording this special season in the Club's history. It is hoped that as many players as possible from that season will also be attending.
The Club will be open from 12 midday and players will begin to meet from 1pm onwards. The Club will be providing free food after the game.
We look forward to seeing some familiar faces.
🏉🩵🐷🖤👍🏻
