‘Cwis Meddiant’ (The Possession Quiz) is a general knowledge quiz that follows the format of a rugby game. 16 teams from all over Wales are taking part in the first round.
The presenter is Gethin Jones, best known for his work on Blue Peter and Strictly Come Dancing.
Each week two teams of three players face each other. Tonight Clwb Rygbi Caernarfon against Clwb Rygbi Llandeilo.
Clwb Rygbi Caernarfon is from Gwynedd in the north-west. Their team is Rhydian, Iolo and captain, Gwyn.
Clwb Rygbi Llandeilo is from Carmarthenshire in the south. Their team is Aled, Nick and their captain, James.
There are five categories of questions – The World About Us, Who and Where, Entertainment, Wales, and Sport.
The aim is to answer questions and score points by crossing the llinell gais (try line). All three team members must be in their opponents’ half to score.
Players can either rhedeg (run) with the ball and answer the question themselves or pasio (pass) to a team member.
Players also have three tacteg (tactics) that they can use once in each half – tacl (a tackle) to win possession, ryc (ruck) to discuss tactics and a gôl adlam (drop goal).
There will be weekly prizes and a grand prize of a celebrity training day organized by the Welsh Rugby Union. If you’d like a list of Welsh rugby terms, email us via “Contact us” on our home page.
