Welsh fans deserve long-awaited win

Aaron Wainwright is the current Welsh Rugby Writers Player of the Year [Huw Evans Picture Agency] Summer tour first Test: Japan v Wales Venue: Mikuni World Stadium, Kitakyushu Date: Saturday, 5 July Kick-off: 06:00 BST Coverage: Watch live on BBC One Wales and BBC iPlayer; listen live on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru & BBC Sounds; text commentary and highlights on BBC Sport website and app. Advertisement Back row Aaron Wainwright says Welsh fans deserve to see the side end their losing run by winning both Tests in Japan this month. Wales are on a record 17-Test losing sequence that stretches back to October 2023. Matt Sherratt's side take on Eddie Jones' Japan on the back of a second successive Six Nations clean sweep of defeats. The dismal run has seen Wales slump down the world rankings to 12th, only one place above Japan. The tourists face the Brave Blossoms in Kitakyushu on Saturday, 5 July before the series concludes in Kobe a week later. "It's massive," said Wainwright. "The Welsh public deserve it. All the Welsh fans that are going to be out here and back home deserve it. Advertisement "Our minds are fully set on bringing home not just one, but two wins from this tour. "We want to bring that pride back to Welsh rugby fans and public." Gaining an elusive win Aaron Wainwright has played 57 internationals for Wales [Huw Evans Picture Agency] Wainwright is also hoping to gain an elusive victory after a barren season with club and country. The 27,year-old has played 13 games for Dragons and a further seven internationals for Wales during the 2024-25 season. There has been just one victory in those 20 matches which came for Dragons against Newcastle in Europe's Challenge Cup in January. "Going so long without a win, being able to put an end to that this weekend is something that we're all aiming for," said Wainwright. Advertisement "As a collective, we're hoping that's the outcome." Wainwright is one of four survivors from the previous Wales squad to play in Japan alongside Nicky Smith, Elliot Dee and Josh Adams who were also in the 2019 World Cup squad.

Culture and community shine at Woodland celebration

Residents and out-of-town visitors alike attended the Woodland Cultural Centre's National Indigenous Peoples Day celebration on Saturday, June 21, 2025. Heather George, Executive Director of the Woodland Cultural Centre, said she was happy to see the community come together to celebrate the day. 'It's been so fantastic to see the turnout and to see so many community members from Six Nations and Brantford coming out, meeting each other in this space and getting to share in our culture,' she said. 'Our most favourite thing to do here at Woodland is to bring people together and do it in these really beautiful ways, so it's just been an amazing day.' Throughout the duration of the free event, guests of all ages had the opportunity to enjoy several musical performances from artists like David Moses, James Wilson and DJ MossKing, as well as a children's storytelling session with Arihhonni David. Over in the craft tent, Woodland's education department set up various creative workshops where visitors like Julien Greene and Callum Clarke, could try their hand at painting with watercolour, or crafting their own pottery, drums and rattles. Many guests also took the opportunity to head over to an open field to partake in a lacrosse demonstration with Kedoh Hill, or shop from the many vendor booths set up around the grounds. From hand-beaded jewellery to captivating pieces of art, ribbon skirts and even mouth-watering foods and drinks, there were plenty of ways to support the artists and small business owners on site. 'I think today is a really good opportunity, especially for non-Indigenous people to learn about the culture and the heritage. It's fantastic because, often the programming that happens on National Indigenous Peoples Day kind of surrounds the art space and so, it's a lot of fun, it's really inclusive and everybody gets a chance to participate,' said George. 'I think it's also a really good entry point for people who are trying to learn more about things like treaties or land rights, but this is kind of the fun, soft entrance into some of those harder topics. It's just such a great day for people to engage in this programming, and to continue to build those opportunities for people to learn.' On top of all of the activities happening outdoors, visitors also had the chance to step inside for a gallery tour with Woodland's guest Curator, Alex Jacobs-Blum, for the public opening of Indigenous Art 2025: 50th Annual Juried Exhibition. Indigenous Art was first launched back in 1975 and is now the longest-running annual multimedia Indigenous art exhibition in the country. This year's show is featured across all three of Woodland's gallery spaces and will run until Tuesday, September 30, 2025. Harmony Sabourin and Daylen Hill were just a couple of the guests viewing the gallery's new display. 'It's all just so beautiful,' said Sabourin. 'I really love art and so, it's been really inspiring to see all of these works, especially the beadwork on canvas… it's just so amazing to me.' The two were more than happy to share a few of the pieces that caught their attention including Jessica Somers' 'Morning Dance,' Janice Toulouse's 'Abiinoojiiyag Jiibi Native Children's Hidden Bones' and Emily Kewageshig's 'Walk Gently.' For those who couldn't make it out on the day, George said that she encouraged people to stop by Woodland and check out the gallery, especially now that the centre's new hours are Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Kimberly De Jong's reporting is funded by the Canadian government through its Local Journalism Initiative.

Bielle-Biarrey to start Top 14 final after concussion recovery

Bordeaux-Begles head coach Yannick Bru said on Friday winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey will start this weekend's French Top 14 final against Toulouse after a "spectacular change" in his concussion symptoms. Frenchman Bielle-Biarrey has scored 33 tries this season for club and country, but has been sidelined since June 7. Advertisement After last weekend's semi-final win over Toulon, Bru ruled the 22-year-old out of Saturday's decider in Paris, but Bielle-Biarrey has been named in the line-up for the game at the Stade de France. "At the start of this week, he met a lot of specialists; he scored 10/10 in his neurological tests," Bru told reporters. "The central question after that was 'Louis do you want to play?' "He said 'It's out of the question that I don't play the final with my mates'. "It's that journey that showed us quite quickly that Louis would be present. There was a spectacular change." Advertisement Bielle-Biarrey crossed for the last of his 13 league tries earlier this month, making him the Top 14's leading scorer this season. He starts outside another 22-year-old, centre Nicolas Depoortere. "It's always tough to be out of the squad and miss games like that, a semi-final," Depoortere said. "He comes back in time for the final. Having the top scorer in the Top 14 by our side tomorrow is a plus." Bielle-Biarrey has failed to score in just two of his last 16 appearances and played a crucial part in France's Six Nations success earlier this year. "He's a player that walks on water," Toulouse head coach Ugo Mola told reporters. Advertisement "He's explosive, he is incredibly efficient. He's a player everyone would like to have in their team." - 'No revenge' - The final comes 12 months after Bordeaux-Begles suffered a record 59-3 hammering to Mola's Toulouse in the 2024 showpiece. Since then, Bru's side have beaten the record 23-time French champions on three straight occasions. "We understand fully that this match will be presented as a revenge, but we've never talked about revenge," Bru said. "That means stiffness, anger, things that blind you a little bit. "On the contrary, in a final what's crucial is to have your eyes wide open." Advertisement One of those victories came in the Champions Cup semi-finals. Three weeks later Bordeaux-Begles lifted the continental crown, beating English club Northampton in the final at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. "It will stand for nothing," former Toulouse hooker Bru said. "The Cardiff final is so far away, we were Champions Cup winners but it's behind us. "We don't wake up and say 'We have to do the double' when we are having a shave. "The double would be the consequence of something to show that we've evolved to be more consistent like Toulouse in a final." iwd/pb/nf/jc
