Hey folks! Big news for Welsh rugby fans – it looks like Judgement Day won’t be happening at the Principality Stadium this year. Bummer, right? But don’t worry, there’s a good reason for it. You see, there’s another event going on at the stadium around the same time, so they had to find a different venue for the double-header. The top contender right now is the Cardiff City Stadium. It’s smaller than the Principality Stadium, but it’ll still be a great place to watch the Scarlets take on the Dragons and Cardiff face off against the Ospreys on 1 June. Exciting stuff!
Now, you might be wondering what event is taking over the Principality Stadium. Well, they haven’t announced it yet, but keep your eyes peeled for updates. In the meantime, mark your calendars for a Taylor Swift concert on 18 June and a Foo Fighters gig seven days later. And hey, if you’re a fan of The Boss, Bruce Springsteen will be rocking the stadium on 5 May.
The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has assured us that there will still be some kind of Judgement Day-style event this season. They’re in talks with the Professional Rugby Board (PRB) to figure out where it will be held. Normally, Judgement Day happens on the final weekend of the regular season, but this year it’s been pushed back because of the World Cup. So, we’ll have to wait and see where the action unfolds.
One option they’re considering is playing the two matches at separate venues. That means the Scarlets and Cardiff would play on their own home grounds. It could be a cool twist, don’t you think?
So, there you have it – the latest scoop on Judgement Day. It’s not happening at the usual spot, but that just means we get to experience rugby in a different setting. Let’s cheer on our favourite teams and make this year’s Judgement Day one to remember!
