Performance sport is often decided in moments, not minutes.

A 1-point loss for Cardiff Met RFC vs Hartpury to close the BUCS Super Rugby regular season. A real game of two halves and a reminder of the fine margins that exist in performance environments. 🧵

@JDVance @CharliePhill22 The irony and one’s undiluted quest for power and influence, which will ultimately lead to their significant demise and path to irrelevance.

@CardiffMetRFC What a finish, great effort🙌🏻🏹🏹

@simonrug Surely that’s the minimum requirement of an international call up. First interaction with the player is so important. But pleased to read Tandy has done this, which I believe hasn’t always been the case🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
