With no 'game days' or club bookings many clubs are struggling to survive. Wherever you are in Wales this weekend pop into your local club for a couple of socially distanced pints. You're sure to get a warm welcome and will be helping them get through this crisis

Are there no standards set in the England camp? This, hair pulling and wild celebrations at the most minor things. It's unsavoury, unsportsmanlike and indicative of a poor culture.
Massive congratulations to member, former player (vets), supporter and great friend of the club, Brynmor Williams on his MBE for services to sport & charity in Wales. Richly deserved 👏👏👏
Hugely frustrating that we have another club cancel a game on us for Saturday. WRU needs to urgently address the apathy that is invasive amongst many grassroots clubs. We need support in making rugby at this level attractive for players & supporters and sustainable for our clubs
Congratulations to our very own Cai Evans who will win his first cap on Saturday.
Often seen kicking down the Fred Dunn, he will now become the first player to play at every age group for the club to win a cap
Very proud club. Pob Lwc Cai 💚🖤

That is a ridiculous comment. The pro game and the community game are in crisis. Both deserve better. Go down your local club and engage, you might learn a thing or two
Wales tour to South Africa kicks off next Saturday with the first test at Loftus Versfeld ko 4.05pm. Gather your mates and watch all the tests at the club. Multiple screens, cold beers, hot dogs and great craic. The only place to be when there's rugby to watch 🏉🏉🍺🍺
Attention DOG WALKERS / OWNERS.
Please please can dog walkers\owners be responsible and pick up their dogs 💩. A recent incident on the Police Fields where a child playing rugby ended up with dog 💩 on their face.
If people see dog owners not picking up please ask them to
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Eddie Butler. An icon within the game. All at CRFC send heart felt condolences to Eddies family and his countless friends. RIP Eddie
