Ebbw Vale: So, you won’t believe what just happened at the rugby match! Morgan Richards, a player for Ebbw Vale RFC, got arrested during the warmup. Can you imagine the shock on everyone’s faces?
This all went down during their away game against Pontypool RFC on December 21, 2024. Fans were just getting into the spirit of the game when they saw Morgan being taken away by the police. It was wild!
The match was part of the new Super Rygbi Cymru competition that kicked off in September 2024. Morgan, who’s played 43 times for the Steelmen, is now caught up in a harassment investigation.
