week out, but don’t quite make the celeb status. That’s right, I’m gabbing about the brilliant lads in the Indigo Premiership – and boy oh boy, are they delivering the goods this season!
Right, let’s dive into the juicy bits. Forget the razzle-dazzle of top-tier rugby, these blokes are causing a proper stir on the pitch, and we’re all here for it. We’ve seen past national stars like Ken Owens and Scott Williams grace the grass for a game or two, alongside up-and-comers like Mason Grady, Joe Hawkins, and Keiron Assiratti really showing what they’re made of. It’s a proper feast of skill and talent out there, isn’t it?
Now, some reckon that the league should be all about nurturing the youngsters and academy hopefuls. Others think it’s a stage for the seasoned semi-pro heroes to shine. But you know what? This season, it’s a belting cocktail of both, and with talks of an Elite League brewing, things are about to get even more tantalising.
Let’s gab about some of the lads who are really smashing it. Take Lloyd Lewis from Newport – the guy’s scoring tries so fast, you’d think they’re going out of fashion! Newport’s also got Matt O’Brien, or Mr. Reliable, as I like to call him, playing a blinder and sharing his knowledge off the pitch too.
Pontypool’s gained a gem with Sam Scarfe switching to hooker and absolutely bossing it, while Matthew Jarvis is the type of fly-half that’s worth his weight in gold, steering the team with his trusty boot.
Then there’s Ebbw Vale’s Rhys Francis – this hooker is on fire, literally scoring tries for fun. And don’t get me started on the dynamo that is Osian Davies from Llandovery, the lad’s a machine!
A special shout-out goes to Josh Phillips for hitting a ton of points at Pontypridd and Dewi Cross from Cardiff, whose rise from the academy to fan favourite is just like those heartwarming rugby stories we all love.
Not to forget the other legends – Kristian Parker, Morgan Allen, Dafydd Williams, plus some – they’re all showing the Welsh Premiership is chock-a-block with class.
So there you have it. Next time you’re having a gander at a game, throw some love to these grand players. They might not be gracing billboards, but blimey, they sure deserve our cheers. They’re the lifeblood of Welsh rugby, and I’m buzzing to see what wizardry they’ll pull out of the bag next! Keep the faith, folks!
