Newport: So, it looks like Cai Evans is in a bit of a pickle. He was seen leaving the field on crutches after getting hurt during a match against Pau. This happened just 26 minutes in, and he had to be replaced by Lloyd Evans. Not a great sign, especially with Warren Gatland set to announce the Six Nations squad soon.
Evans, who’s the son of Welsh rugby legend Ieuan, has only played two games for the national team. He was hoping to get a call-up, especially since other players like Gareth Anscombe are dealing with injuries. But seeing him on crutches doesn’t bode well for his chances.
Meanwhile, Tomos Williams is feeling the heat too. He mentioned that the team’s current form is tough to handle, but he’s holding onto hope for a turnaround. Wales is on a 12-match losing streak, which is pretty rough. Williams believes that with a fresh start in the new year, things could change for the better.
On another note, Bath is gearing up for a crucial match against Leinster. They’ve just had a solid win against Clermont and are looking to secure a spot in the Champions Cup. Johann van Graan, their head coach, is feeling optimistic but knows it’ll be a tough challenge.
And let’s not forget about Ilona Maher! She made quite the splash in her first start for Bristol, scoring a try and helping her team secure a win against Exeter. With her impressive social media following, she’s definitely one to watch in the rugby world.
