Yn anffodus, nid sôn am gemau rhyngwladol yr hydref oedd e ond taith y Llewod i Seland Newydd yn 2005. Mae’n anodd credu bod chwaraewr mor ddisglair mor bell o feddyliau [...]

Lefty human rights judges at the International Criminal Court have issued a final rebuke to Wales over its persistent use of ‘the box-kick’ during rugby test matches.

One of the world’s leading consultancy practices is basking in universal glory and acclaim, after taking little more than 300 days to tell Welsh rugby what it had already worked out for itself during a morning tea break in late 2011.
