Armpit or Cardiff?

After Irish rugby journalist Brendan Fanning labelled Cardiff “an armpit of a town”, we ask if you can really tell the difference between the Welsh capital and the human underarm region.

So is it armpit or Cardiff?

Hmm... it's a close one... armpit maybe?

Armpit?

Too close to call…

Could Brendan tell the difference?

Cardiff is not-so armpit-like after all. Pull your self together Brendan. Your team may have clinched the Six Nations title from under Welsh noses, but the beauty of this city is there for all to see.
