This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by top Welsh rugby writer Seimon Williams to break down the end of the WRU's consultation period and the headline decision that one of Wales's professional regions will be cut. Is it really a shootout between the Scarlets and the Ospreys, or is there more going on behind the scenes? Ged and Seimon dig into what the decision means for the regional game, the national team, and the long-term sustainability of Welsh rugby. They also explore the development pathway crisis: will a centralised national academy nurture elite talent and bridge the gap between school, semi-pro, and regional rugby? With funding pressures mounting and squads thinning, can the WRU find a model that actually develops players rather than losing them abroad? From the future of West Wales rugby to the wider vision for player development in Wales, this episode asks whether cutting a region will really fix anything — or just make the challenges even greater.

Sjuårskriget 1756-63 utkämpades på tre kontinenter och har därför kallats det första världskriget. I Nordamerika och Indien konfronterades Storbritannien och Frankrike i en kamp om kolonier och kontroll över världshaven. I Europa slogs Fredrick den stores Preussen på liv och död mot franska, ryska och habsburgska arméer.Krigföringen på den europeiska kontinenten innebar något av en höjdpunkt för linjetaktiken och inte minst de välexercerade infanteribataljonerna och deras muskötsalvor.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden samtalar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om Sjuårskrigets orsaker, förlopp och konsekvenser främst i Nordamerika och Europa.Konfliktens förhistoria är komplicerad och handlade om den tidens snabba skiftningar och nycker i utrikespolitiken. Preussen ställdes mot en överväldigande koalition av stater bestående av Habsburg, Frankrike, Ryssland och till och med Sverige. I botten på motsättningarna fanns Preussens uppkomst som militärmakt och seger över Habsburg under 1740-talet. På många sätt var det frågan om en maktuppgörelse inom det tyskromerska riket mellan kejsarmaktens Habsburg och utmanaren Preussen. Stöd fick Preussen endast av Storbritannien.Till konflikten på kontinenten hörde även en uppgörelse mellan Storbritannien och Frankrike om kolonier och kontroll över handelsvägar över hela jordklotet. Främst kom kriget att föras i Nordamerika och i Indien. Britterna visade sig i slutänden överlägsna och kunde med kriget slutligen etablera sig som den främsta kolonialmakten på Frankrikes bekostnad.På kontinenten kämpade preussarna mot övermakten och lyckades trots allt rida ut kriget utan att krossas. Inte minst berodde detta på deras militära förmåga och Fredrick den stores ledarskap även om segrar blandades med blodiga nederlag. Med sin taktiska förmåga och inte minst sin flexibilitet och ”sneda slagordning” vann Fredrick spektakulära segrar som vid Rossbach och Leuthen 1757 mot numerärt överlägsna arméer.Litteraturtips är två titlar ur Ospreys serie: Simon Miller Rossback och Leuthen 1757 (2002) och Daniel Marston The Seven Year´s War (2001).Bild: General Wolfes död (1771), på Abrahams slätter, nära Quebec av Benjamin West; wikipedia, Public Domain.

In February 2019, Gareth joined the podcast to discuss being a professional rugby union player with Gloucester. After that conversation Gareth's life moved quickly - he signed for Ospreys and then Leicester Tigers before being forced to retire suddenly following a training-ground concussion in November 2021.In early September 2025, Gareth sat down with me to discuss his new career as a Financial Advisor, based in Cheltenham. The idea of identity and career shift has fascinated me for years - particularly, as a sports journalist, the shift pro athletes have to make into a new life. Hope you enjoy this one - hope for all of us contemplating career change. Also, towards the end of the conversation some great tips on pensions and financial management.

Connacht Rugby's announcement back in June (2025) that former England head coach and Leinster senior coach Stuart Lancaster caught a lot of attention. Lancaster brings experience probably not seen by any of his predecessors, including leading his country into the 2015 World Cup, helping Leinster to four PRO14 titles and the 2018 European Champions Cup, and he recently served as head coach in Racing 92 in France. His career spans over 20 years, and he'll have responsibility for defence as well as his Head Coach role. Stuart Lancaster has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's William Davies. == Connacht will start the European Challenge Cup away to Ospreys on Sunday, 7th December, before hosting Georgia's Black Lion six days later. Connacht then head to Montpellier on Sunday, 11th January, before welcoming French side Mont-a-bán on the 17th.

Gareth Rhys Owen and Matt Lloyd explain the Welsh Rugby Union's latest proposals for structural change as they consider halving the number of regions in Wales. The governing body says it's entering a formal consultation with the Professional Rugby Board (PRB) and could reduce the number of regions to three or even two. In a statement, the WRU said the current system is failing and is unsustainable, having already confirmed it does not intend to continue equally funding four professional teams in the men's game. Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets are the four current sides, with the WRU saying it wants a "more radical" strategy to be completed by October.

Back in the 1970s, things weren't looking great for osprey populations. There were just 75 known pairs living on Long Island at the time. The widespread use of the insecticide DDT had taken its toll on the birds, who ingested it through the fish they ate, resulting in thinning eggshells that were often crushed during the incubation period. But after the banning of DDT and changes in environmental regulations, the birds' numbers began to rebound. The Group for the East End had a major hand in helping the ospreys make a comeback through the installation of nesting platforms across the region. This week, Bob DeLuca, president of Group for the East End, joins the editors to talk about the ospreys' journey back from the brink of extinction and the upcoming monitoring program, where some 500 osprey nests across the East End will be visited.

Gareth Rhys Owen, Lauren Jenkins and BBC Rugby writer Gareth Griffiths evaluate a way forward for the professional game in Wales with the Welsh Rugby Union still in dispute with Ospreys and Scarlets over funding.

Grab your peanuts and Cracker Jacks! Summer in Jacksonville means baseball season is in full swing, and we're diving deep into the heart of our hometown team. Ever wondered how a summer collegiate baseball team comes to life? Dylan Hughes, General Manager of the Jacksonville Ospreys, takes us behind the scenes of creating a baseball tradition from scratch.

The Ospreys represent more than just baseball—they're a testament to community connection. Players from across the country and even overseas find temporary homes with local host families, creating bonds that extend far beyond the diamond. These college athletes, all looking to perfect their craft during the summer months, bring high-level baseball right to our backyard while becoming honorary members of Jacksonville families.North Carolina has a rich baseball tradition, producing legends like Catfish Hunter and Gaylord Perry. Now, Jacksonville is writing its own chapter in that story.

You can tell it is spring when the Ospreys return to the Chesapeake Bay. And you can tell it is summer when Bands in the Sand takes over the beach at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation!

Thousands of hours are volunteered every year to keep up the fantastic work CBF has done for 60 years. And helping is not that hard. Volunteer, become a member, donate, or simply be more mindful at home.
