Cardiff - source of players for Wales, the Barbarians, and the British Lions this season - now lead all other Welsh clubs in the championship table. Newbridge, the Monmouthshire team who were champions two seasons ago, should prove the toughest opposition, judging by their recent 47-3 victory over Taunton.

The Andalusian poetry of Garcia Lorca.
Federico Garcia Lorca, poet and playwright, was born near Granada in 1898 and was shot by an unknown group of people in July 1936 at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
Though of an educated family himself, Lorca derived much of his inspiration from the lives, customs, and music of peasants and gypsies. Photographed for the most part in Andalusia, this colour film seeks to re-create Lorca's world through the medium of his poetry.
[Starring] Carlos Douglas as Garcia Lorca
