CWPAN RYGBI'R BYD

Rugby

Cymraeg

The national sport? Yes, if you believe what some of the Welsh media boys say. Yes, they have built a huge, fantastic stadium in the middle of Cardiff, but it's the Welsh soccer team that usually wins there!

If you are a fan, there's an opportunity to watch a live match every Saturday afternoon on S4C. This year (2003) the Rugby World Cup competition is being held in Australia during October and November, and there will be an opportunity to watch all the Wales matches and some of the others with a Welsh language commentary on S4C.

In order to understand and follow the Welsh language commentary, you have to know the terms.
