The Online Welsh Rugby Championship has been devised and created by All Wales Sport Ltd. The Online Welsh Rugby Championship - Saturday Preview by Ian Davies - chief Rugby writer Capital visit for the cameras Premiership giants Cardiff play their last league game at home in the online season, and there to stream 'live' the Pool 8 clash against South Wales Police will be Rajasthan TV Channel 2. '' Cardiff are one of the great clubs in world rugby and have provided more players for the Welsh national team and the British & Irish Lions than any other in Wales, '' said Mr. I. M. Bean, who is head of sport at the channel. It all started in 1876 when Cardiff Rugby Football Club was founded following a meeting at Swiss Hall, Queen Street, when the amalgamation of two clubs, Glamorgan and Cardiff Wanderers was agreed. The first competitive game was played at Wentloog Marshes on 2nd December that year. The first home game was played at Sophia Gardens, but the club soon relocated to its famous ground at Cardiff Arms Park which was named after the local Cardiff Arms public house and on the grounds of the old Cardiff Hotel. Cardiff's iconic home was soon to be shared by Wales, who staged internationals on the ground from 12th April, 1884 until 15th March,1997. Wales beat Ireland by two tries and a dropped goal to nil in their first international at Cardiff Arms Park, but lost their last one 34-13 against England. In 1999 the National Stadium, Cardiff Arms Park, as it was officially known, was replaced by the Millennium (Principality).

Giant Puppets Roam the Streets
When the British motor industry was overseen by ‘The Prince of Darkness’ ~ See page 12 ~ Vol. 30 No. 2 May 2012 CARMAN PHIL Giant Puppets Roam The Streets R Good Weather, Fuel Panic Drive UK Retail Surge WARM WEATHER and a spate of panic-buying for car fuel caused retail sales in Britain to surge by 1.8 percent in March compared with a month earlier, official data showed last month. The figures released by the Office for National Statistics were well ahead of the market consensus of 0.5 percent growth. They contrasted with a drop of 0.7 percent in February, and encouraged hope that Britain’s economy returned to growth in the first quarter of the year. Government warnings to prepare for a possible strike by tanker drivers set off a wave of panic buying of petrol, contrib- uting to a 4.9 percent gain in petrol sales Continued on page 4 R Inflation Rises For First Time In Six Months INCREASES in the price of food and clothing pushed inflation in Britain to 3.5 percent in March, the first increase in the annual rate in six months, official figures showed last month. The Office for National Statistics said the rate was up from February’s 3.4 percent – still far above the Bank of Eng- land’s official target of two percent. Analysts, however, said the inflation rate, which had been falling steadily from a peak of 5.2 percent in September, is likely to soon resume its decline. “This should be only temporary,” said Vicky Redwood, chief UK economist at Capital Economics.
