Young Wales international's new life gamble pays off after telling Welsh region he'd had enough
Young Wales international's new life gamble pays off after telling Welsh region he'd had enough He wasn't getting picked so told the coach he'd had enough. Now, he's been rewarded in the Top 14 after some impressive performances Carwyn Tuipulotu has started a new chapter in France Welsh back-row Carwyn Tuipulotu has signed a new deal with French club Section Paloise after impressing for the Top 14 side this season. Having initially joined from the Scarlets in February as a medical joker following a brief spell with Saracens, Tuipulotu went on to make nine appearances for the French outfit - crossing for two tries. As such, the club have moved to sign him up for another year, with the option of another season after that. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. 'I love the supporters and this club with its unique history and pride," said Tuipulotu. "I am very honoured and grateful to have been so quickly adopted by the Section family. "A new season is coming up. I am looking forward to it; the club is building something strong and special.' Head coach Sébastien Piqueronies added : "Through his commitment and performances, Carwyn has demonstrated that he's at TOP 14 level. Article continues below "We're delighted to be able to count on him next season. Our third line is becoming more robust and will be even more of a strength in the coming season." The back row has moved overseas. (Image: Huw Evans Picture Agency Ltd ) Tuipulotu had long been tipped for senior Wales honours after catching the eye of previous coach Warren Gatland and playing for Wales Under 20s, but fell out of favour at the Scarlets this season, with the Welsh region letting him go. He made 48 appearances for the Welsh region in total after making his senior debut for the club in 2020 against Ospreys. His departure came after an honest conversation with Scarlets' forwards coach Albert van den Berg resulted in him deciding he had to move for his own sake. "It was just an honest conversation and that almost became the turning point," he said. "I said to him I'd had enough and I felt like I should be playing in the team.' Article continues below Tuipulotu still has big senior internationalaspirations after choosing Wales over England as a youngster, recently telling the Times: 'Obviously I have aspirations for Wales. That's every boy's dream who comes from Wales. I'd love to have that as a goal to hopefully go on that summer tour [to Japan]. "I'm just quietly doing my business here in France. Hopefully someone notices and wants to see me." Tuipulotu is the son of former Tonga international Katilimoni, who played for Dunvant and Neath in Wales. Before joining Scarlets, Tuipulotu was part of the Newcastle Falcons academy after studying at Sedbergh School, and was picked up through the Welsh Exiles programme.

Tiny UK seaside town named a hidden gem with boutique shops and castle
This "buzzy" town in northern Wales has been dubbed a tiny treasure for its impressive coastal views, historically significant castle and beloved community shops One tiny seaside town has been newly minted as a hidden gem for its 'winning combination' of scenic views and boutique shops. The town is situated in the Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn in Welsh): a small island that is a great setting to explore mainland Wales. The travel company Breakfree Holidays has named Beaumaris in Anglesey one of the 10 best coastal towns in Northwest England and North Wales. According to Breakfree Holidays, the 'buzzy' town stands out for boasting a 'scenic location, a romantic castle and a burgeoning collection of enticing boutique shops, cafes and art galleries'. The natural beauty of Beaumaris is evident in its name already - based on the Norman 'beau marais' which means 'beautiful marsh'. The description was chosen by Edward I and the town's architecture clearly outlines its medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian history. The most noteworthy feature of the town - and of Anglesey altogether - is the Beaumaris Castle. Now a United Nations World Heritage Site, the castle was constructed between 1295 and 1330. The impressive fortress has been called 'the greatest castle never built' as one of the last royal strongholds created by Edward I in Wales. It has four concentric rings of fortification making it of near-perfect symmetry, as well as a moat and its own dock. Troubling times in Scotland meant the castle was never carried out to its exacting blueprint, but it is still considered an architectural feat of the region. The castle is open to visitors all summer long with entry prices starting at £10.50. If you are planning a visit to the castle or Beaumaris is general, consider scheduling your trip around the Medieval Festival. In 2025, the festival will run from August 23 to August 25 and feature demonstrations and workshops about all-things medieval, including leather work, cooking and how to wear armour. Once you've had your fill of medieval history, you can head to the fine sands of Beaumaris Beach to enjoy the coastal scenery of the town. Pastel-coloured houses line the shore and add a distinct charm to the serene setting. Nearby are pubs and boutique shops to explore and the beach is also separated by the historic Beaumaris Pier. The pier is the port for boat trips to popular fishing patches and tours of the nearby Puffin Island. Opened in 1846 and designed by Frederick Foster, the Beaumaris Pier was originally constructed of wooden piles and iron girders. It was rebuilt in 1872 after it was significantly damaged by a storm and further extended in 1895. Travellers interested in diving deeper into the Welsh landscape can set out for the Welsh Coast Path that passes Beaumaris Beach. The Path offer exceptional views of mainland Wales and the Menai Strait, as well as the ancient monastic site of Penmon Priory.

Today's rugby news as Owen Farrell story breaks, Jac Morgan makes pledge and Premiership changes name
Today's rugby news as Owen Farrell story breaks, Jac Morgan makes pledge and Premiership changes name The latest rugby news and headlines from Wales and beyond Owen Farrell (Image: 2024 Getty Images ) Here are your rugby morning headlines for Friday, June 13. Farrell returns to Saracens Owen Farrell is returning to England with immediate effect after Saracens agreed a transfer fee with Racing 92 to bring him home from an injury-hit spell in France. Rugby Pass and The Telegraph report the English club have settled on a price of €200,000 (£169,250) with the French giants and have given Farrell a five-year contract that will see him initially take on a player-coach role before becoming a full-time coach. Farrell is said to have taken a big pay cut from the huge £600,000-plus salary he was on at Racing following his big move to the Top 14 a year ago. He immediately becomes eligible to play for England again, although it remains to be seen whether he wants to play international rugby after previously walking away from the Test arena following the Rugby World Cup in 2023 for mental health reasons. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. Ahead of the move Mark McCall revealed he may also may not play in his usual position of outside-half, saying: 'He doesn't have to play 10, he can play other positions as well. So for our young talents who are developing, it could be a great thing to have him there. 'It's not just about having talent, it's about being able to think properly on the field. I know Owen's obviously one of the best at that. He and [fellow fly-half] Louie Johnson in particular have a very strong relationship already. They talk every month at least. Owen's so willing to share his knowledge and his experience with younger players.' Article continues below Premiership to be rebranded as Gallagher Prem from next season By Ed Elliot, PA The Gallagher Premiership will be rebranded as the Gallagher Prem from next season. The name change is part of a campaign to attract new audiences to the competition, with the primary focus on promoting the intensity, physicality, athleticism and rivalry of England's top flight. Premiership Rugby, which will become Prem Rugby, is also investing 'significant money' in generating player content to publicise the stories of the league's next generation of talent. A promotional video for the relaunch, which is backed by broadcast partner TNT Sports, is due to be screened at Allianz Stadium Twickenham during Saturday's Premiership final between Bath and Leicester. The new name – and branding, including an orange, white and blue logo – will be officially introduced on Wednesday, July 23 when next season's fixtures are announced. Premiership Rugby's chief growth officer Rob Calder, who was previously a commercial director for cricket competition The Hundred, has been working on the rebrand since his appointment in October 2022. Its unveiling comes amid the potential threat of a prospective new breakaway league, branded R360, which hopes to attract the sport's biggest stars. 'We're going to talk how the fans talk: we as a business will be Prem Rugby but the league will be the Gallagher Prem,' Calder said of the name change. 'Our focus moving forward is going to be on the intensity, the physicality and the extreme athleticism of rugby, as well as the rawness and the grit of our league. 'We've got a clear strategy and we're building something bigger. It's about selling what makes this thing unique and something which resonates with the broadest audiences. 'This competition is flourishing, so we want to hold on to that, but we also want to look forward.' Morgan aware of upholding Wales' Lions legacy Jac Morgan says he is aware of upholding Wales' proud British and Irish Lions traditions on the upcoming tour of Australia. The Wales captain was just one of two Welshmen named in Andy Farrell's squad, with Tomos Williams the other. However, despite the lack of Welsh players, Morgan - speaking from their training camp in Portugal - is very aware of the legacy left by previous Welshmen in the Lions jersey. "There have been a lot of Welshmen in the history of the Lions; they are legends of the game," he told BBC Rugby Union Weekly. "So it is a massive inspiration and hopefully we can make everyone in Wales proud." Get the latest breaking Welsh rugby news stories sent straight to your inbox with our FREE daily newsletter. Sign up here. On the experience so far, he added: "There is loads to learn, and I am looking forward to see how they all train, their habits and the extra stuff they do," Morgan added. "But also it's exciting to work as a back row and get the best out of each other. It will be great to learn from them and to play with them." Lions stars ruled out of final British and Irish Lions Tadhg Furlong and Hugo Keenan have been ruled out of Leinster's United Rugby Championship final against the Bulls on Saturday. Both tight-head prop Furlong and full-back Keenan have been nursing calf injuries, although fellow Lions Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier have returned from injury to face the South African side. Leinster's dozen Lions tourists will link up with Andy Farrell's squad after Saturday's final at Croke Park, ahead of their first match against Argentina in Dublin on Friday. However, the fact Furlong still isn't back will come as a blow - with the Lions coaches having spoken confidently on Wednesday in Portugal over the 32-year-old's availability for this weekend's final. Furlong has struggled with injuries all season, with his last appearance being at the start of May. Article continues below Keenan started Leinster's URC quarter-final against Scarlets on 31 May but did not feature against Glasgow Warriors in the semi-finals a week later. Back-row Van der Flier's last game was also against the Scarlets, while Ringrose will be making his first appearance since 10 May.
