No centres, no centres, no centres, ALL OF THE CENTRES!

Like buses, Cardiff have suddenly signed two centres on short-term loans.

Former Cardiff schoolboy Osian Roberts comes in from Sale and former Cardiff Met student Will Rigg is in from Exeter.

Unclear how ready or otherwise Will Rigg and Osian Roberts are to step in.

Rigg was a regular with Exeter last season but has had a foot injury over the summer and is yet to play this season.

Roberts has played twice for Caldy, once in pre-season and once in the Championship.

It looks like I have to add Wiley to the list of publishers I refuse to publish with or review for 🤷🏻‍♂️

Everybody makes money out of academic authors except the authors...News.

Wiley is the latest academic publisher to reach a multi-million deal to allow access to its content to AI developers, with no opt out, let alone payment, for the authors who created that content.

Wiley set to earn $44m from AI rights deals, confirms “no opt-out" for authors

The US publisher is the latest to capitalise on deals to give tech firms access to its authors’ content to train their Large Language Models (LLMs).

Well complementing Gianluca Gnecchi on his appearance seems to make him more amenable to Cardiff's bullshit occasionally

Good morning from CF10 Towers (Ty Glass outpost). After a crucial 2 points out in Munster, it's Connacht week!

Here's to get the CAP posts back up and showing the Guys from Galway that noone beats the Blue and Black 6 times in a row!

The first VFTST of the season covers a fluid attacking performance, improved defence, a fundamental question for rugby and some decisions to be made by Corniel Van Zyl ahead of next week as Cardiff take five points from the Lions.
