Gareth Rhys Owen and Lauren Salter are joined by former Wales internationals Scott Baldwin and Philippa Tuttiett to reflect on the weekend's United Rugby Championship results and Wales' Women's Six Nations defeat to France. Cardiff secured a dramatic late comeback win at Scarlets, Ospreys had an impressive win over Sharks but Dragons were humbled by Bulls. While France produced a second-half power show to shrug off a resilient Wales side.

The gang discuss Wales Women and the Dragons' spirited first 60s before their opposition pull away. They also discuss Cardiff's Lucky(?) Won over the Scarlets and debate whether or not the Osprey props were faking injuries or should the Sharks have just been more clinical. #WelshRugby #W6N #Dragons #Cardiff #Ospreys #Scarlets Learn more about your ad choices.

In the wake of a tense and at times fractious Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) Extraordinary General Meeting at Principality Stadium, Chief Executive Abi Tierney sits down to address the biggest questions facing Welsh rugby. With controversial plans to reduce the professional game from four teams to three still unresolved, and no clear agreement yet with Cardiff Rugby, Ospreys, Scarlets and Dragons, Tierney explains why the WRU believes change cannot wait.

We break down the emotional rollercoaster of beating England for the first time ever, only to get absolutely battered by Wales in the final match. Was it exhaustion? Lack of depth? Or just Wales playing the game of their lives? We debate whether it's an A-minus or straight-A performance for the Azzurri.Then it's back to URC action where Zebra embarrassingly gifted Scarlets a 29-0 lead before finally remembering how to play rugby, while Benetton put on an attacking masterclass against Ospreys that had us tasting spritz through the screen.(0:00) - Six Nations Recap(21:16) - URC Round Up (36:50) - Upcoming matches preview(37:34) - What Made Coach Mad (42:54) - Wrap Up Hosted on Acast.

Connacht made it three wins on the spin in the BKT United Rugby Championship at Dexcom Stadium on Friday (13th March 2026) as they beat Scarlets to move level on points with the top eight. Five tries from Sean Jansen (2), Jack Aungier, Fiachna Barrett and Eoin De Buitléar gave them a fifth successive victory against the Welsh outfit and moved them up to 30 points, level with the Bulls who are in the play-off positions. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Rob Murphy and Joe Healy. == Connacht's next game is away to Ulster next Friday (20th March).  Kick-off at Affidea Stadium is 7.45pm.

We hear from Scarlets prop Jac Pritchard and Cardiff centre Osian Darwin-Lewis, getting to know them a lot better. What is it about farmwork that makes a good prop? And why learning core skills in the schools and colleges league is so important.

There are no prizes for nearly winning and despite improved performances, we came home in 2nd place again, which begs the question, Is the season now over?

Lauren Salter and former Wales internationals Gareth Delve and Richie Rees reflect on the weekend's United Rugby Championship results including another win for the Dragons and a derby victory for Scarlets. Dragons climbed off the bottom of the table with a remarkable 48-28 victory over Connacht, ending a 15-month winless streak in the URC. Meanwhile, Scarlets won the first Welsh derby of the festive season after beating Cardiff 21-17 at the Arms Park, but Ospreys suffered a 26-10 defeat at home to Munster, meaning they'll be bottom of the league at Christmas.

Gareth Rhys Owen, Lauren Salter and Cennydd Davies reflect on the opening weekend of European rugby with the return of the Champions Cup and the Challenge Cup. Ospreys' comeback win over Connacht avoided a Welsh whitewash in Europe with Cardiff, Dragons and Scarlets all suffering defeat.

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.

New Connacht head coach Stuart Lancaster faced the media alongside Cian Prendergast and Jack Carty on Monday afternoon. Saturday's 26-15 victory over Benetton in the opening game of their URC campaign was the main talking point, as well as the focus now turning to another home clash at Dexcom Stadium against Scarlets on Saturday afternoon.

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.
