Cardiff City have developed an unhealthy relationship with the South Wales derby and it needs to be addressed

There has long been the suggestion that Cardiff just don’t get the derby. READ MORE: Cardiff City news as Hudson delivers tubthumping Swansea City derby messageAfter two defeats in a week, Cardiff are suddenly back in poor form, but form seems to make very little difference in these contests.

Nigel Owens: It's time to end these TMO stoppages that are damaging the game

In the game of rugby, just like life, there's a lot of grey. With the speed of the game now, with things faster and lots more going on, technology becomes a double-edged sword. The problem with rugby is you can't get things perfect. You're trying to get everything and if you get everything in rugby, you simply won't have a game. Referees should be looking to get everything and then those one or two things can be left to the TMO.

'He's like The Undertaker!' Scarlets 'piledriver' incident leaves Jonathan Davies and pundits unimpressed

8 escaped a sending off for an illegal challenge on Scarlets lock Tom Price in Friday’s United Rugby Championship clash at The Sportsground. And fellow Wales international James Hook also felt the incident warranted a red card, saying Boyle had dropped Price on his head ‘like The Undertaker’. He does end up on his head, but because he’s so close to the ground I’m only thinking yellow card. “You are talking about a high-level of danger, he’s dropped him straight on top of his head.”And after the call had been made only to send Boyle to the bin, the former No. “I think he’s a lucky man, because that’s reminiscent, to me, of the O’Driscoll challenge that brought in a new level of safety.

Nottingham Forest end any hint of a Liverpool revival - World - Sports

Liverpool’s mini-revival came to a crashing halt with a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest, who secured just their second Premier League win for 23 years thanks to Taiwo Awoniyi’s goal. Liverpool were without the firepower of the injured Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz and it showed as they lacked the spark needed to unlock a deep-lying Forest defence. At the other end, Alisson Becker kept Liverpool in the game with saves from Brennan Johnson and Morgan Gibbs-White as Forest had plenty of chances to kill the game off on the counter-attack. A third league defeat of the season leaves Liverpool still in seventh, 11 points adrift of leaders Arsenal having played a game more.
