@nicemicro @dneaves Looks like a #supremecommander homage? I love #rts games but I'm no good at them. Last one I really played a bunch was #starcraft2 and that was ages ago. I'll have to check it out; all #FOSS #games deserve at least a demo period. :)

@sourdcoder @dneaves @stpaultim I might add to this, adding a tag to your posts about a topic can make it easier for others to filter it out. I, for example, do that with my #tty1 project.

Scarlets and Ospreys dominate Wales squad for South Africa finale amid regional rugby uncertainty
The Principality Stadium fixture (kick‑off 3.10pm, live on TNT Sports, discovery+ and S4C) is Wales’ final Quilter Nations Series match of 2025. Tandy said the group was “excited” to build on recent performances despite being restricted to Wales‑based players because the game falls outside World Rugby’s international window.
Reinforcements after player exodus
Thirteen players have returned to their clubs in England and France this week, including Adam Beard, Rhys Carre, Tomos Williams and Louis Rees‑Zammit. Their departure left gaps across the squad, particularly in the back three, where Josh Adams is also suspended following his red card against Japan.
In response, Tandy has called up Ospreys forwards James Ratti and uncapped prop Garyn Phillips, Scarlets wing Ellis Mee and Cardiff hooker Evan Lloyd. Mee, 22, made his Test debut in the Six Nations against Ireland and is regarded as strong in the air and dangerous in broken play. Ratti brings versatility in the lock and back row, while Phillips, who toured Japan last summer, is rewarded with his first senior call‑up. Lloyd replaces Cardiff teammate Liam Belcher, who is sidelined with a neck injury.
Scarlets and Ospreys at the core
Scarlets and Ospreys dominate the selection, with 18 of the 30 players drawn from west Wales. The Ospreys provide 12 names, including captain Dewi Lake, Gareth Thomas, Rhys Davies, Morgan Morse and Kieran Hardy. The Scarlets contribute six, among them Taine Plumtree, Joe Hawkins, Joe Roberts, Blair Murray, Tom Rogers and Ellis Mee.
Their prominence underlines the strength of the two clubs in supplying talent to the national side, even as both face uncertainty under the WRU’s proposed regional rugby restructuring. Civic leaders and supporters have warned that the changes risk destabilising west Wales rugby, despite its players continuing to form the backbone of the national squad.
Fresh faces and uncapped talent
The revised squad also features several uncapped players. Ospreys trio Garyn Phillips, James Fender and Ben Warren are joined by Cardiff prop Danny Southworth in seeking their first senior appearances. Their inclusion reflects the WRU’s commitment to blooding new talent alongside established internationals, with the autumn finale offering a chance to test depth against the world champions.
Springboks reshuffle too
South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus has also been forced into changes, with 15 players returning to clubs in Japan and South Africa ahead of a full round of United Rugby Championship fixtures. “We are going to lose quite a few players,” Erasmus admitted, adding that the Springboks would train with only 25 players this week. Despite the absences, he stressed the importance of the clash with Wales for world ranking points, describing it as “another massive Test match” to close the year.

CW: Tw: Sui
I don't think anyone will understand how growing old will make me feel miserable. It's deep rooted in me that the further I am from being young, no one will care about my problems. No one is deavestated when a 50 year old kills themselves besides their family. Even worse, I'll look ugly. I can already see the lines I'll get, my skin will sag. I'll look so hideous. It will be like getting those dry spots all over again. But I don't view my parents like that.

OSPREYS: Ten players confirmed leaving at end of season — including shock exit of fan favourite Kasende
The Ospreys have confirmed ten players will leave the club when the current season ends — bringing the curtain down on a period of significant squad movement as the region prepares for its first season at St Helen’s.
The headline departures — Wales captain Jac Morgan and hooker Dewi Lake — were confirmed as long ago as December, with both heading to Gloucester. Morgan signed off his Ospreys career in style, delivering a man-of-the-match performance in the final west Wales derby earlier this month, while Lake’s farewell was cut short by a shoulder injury that ended his season prematurely.
Morgan has made 51 appearances for the club, captained both the Ospreys and Wales, and toured with the British and Irish Lions. Lake has made 71 appearances and led Wales on multiple occasions — both products of the Ospreys development pathway who will leave significant voids to fill.
The biggest surprise on the list will be the departure of Dan Kasende. The 31-year-old wing and fullback, born in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, joined the Ospreys on a permanent deal from the Toyota Cheetahs in October 2024 and quickly established himself as one of the most popular figures in the squad — known for his aerial prowess, high work rate and knack for scoring crucial tries.
Phil Cokanasiga is also heading to Gloucester, joining Morgan and Lake at Kingsholm. The centre has provided physicality and ball-carrying threat throughout his time with the club.
Ryan Conbeer departs after a spell in which the Ospreys have already moved to secure his replacement — Wales international Tom Rogers arriving from the Scarlets for next season.
Jack Walsh, the versatile utility back, is heading to Montauban in the French Top 14 — having chosen that opportunity over the prospect of pursuing Welsh qualification by residency.
James Fender, the second row, heads to Grenoble in the French PRO D2.
Fellow second row Will Greatbanks also departs. The 22-year-old is English-born but spent much of his youth in France and is Welsh-qualified through his Welsh-born father — he joined the Ospreys ahead of the 2024/25 season from Soyaux Angoulême.
Centre Tom Florence, a Bridgend product who came through the Ospreys academy, leaves after a stop-start spell — with Ealing Trailfinders understood to be a potential destination for the 22-year-old.
Outside-half Luke Scully, a former Wales U20s international, also departs after failing to nail down a regular starting berth.
The ten departures stand in contrast to a busy period of contract renewals. Since December, the Ospreys have tied down Sam Parry, Dan Edwards, Keelan Giles, Morgan Morse, Harri Deaves, Lewis Lloyd, Kieran Hardy, Garyn Phillips, Evardi Boshoff and Tom Botha — with the club building stability around a core of academy graduates and experienced performers.
The club is also understood to be active in the recruitment market, targeting an outside-half and a backrower ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
The Ospreys are still yet to sign the new Professional Rugby Agreement with the WRU — a backdrop that continues to complicate long-term planning as the union presses ahead with its plan to reduce professional rugby in Wales from four teams to three by 2028/29.
The club thanked all ten departing players for their dedication throughout their time at the region.
