Tonight’s rugby news highlights Tomos Williams’ Lions prospects and a tribute to Geoff Wheel by Swansea RFC
Cardiff: Here are the latest rugby updates for you. Gloucester’s rugby director, George Skivington, is really backing Tomos Williams to make the Lions squad in 2025. After a tough year for Welsh players, Williams has stood out since joining the Gallagher Premiership club.
Skivington thinks there’s a solid chance Williams will be heading to Australia next summer. He praised Williams for being brilliant both on and off the field, showing great qualities as a player and a person.
Williams had a fantastic game recently, especially after being out for six weeks. If he keeps this up during the Six Nations, he could definitely be on that plane.
In other news, Swansea RFC paid tribute to the late Geoff Wheel with a minute’s silence before their match against Aberavon. Wheel, who passed away at 73, was a key player for Wales in the 70s, known for his strong second-row partnership.
After a tough loss to Aberavon last week, Swansea turned things around and won 10-8, marking their first victory of the season. It was a great way to honor Wheel’s memory.
Dragons captain Angus O’Brien is looking to bounce back as they prepare for another derby against the Scarlets. After letting a lead slip against Cardiff, he’s eager to set things right and get a win.
O’Brien knows the Scarlets are in good form, but he’s confident the Dragons will give it their all. He believes there’s no better way to recover from their last match than to get back on the field and play hard.
