George North mural in Cardiff replaces much-loved artwork

Cardiff's well-known 'My Cymru My Shirt' mural has been replaced by a rugby-themed artwork ahead of the Six Nations. The mural, which has become a popular feature in the city centre since it was added in 2021, celebrated the diversity and multiculturalism of Wales and in football.

The artwork appeared on the side of La Pantera restaurant in Quay Street to mark Wales' Euro 2020 campaign having been commissioned by Adidas. But now the mural has been painted over by a rugby-themed advert featuring Welsh international George North ahead of the start of the 2023 Six Nations tournament.

It is thought that the artwork has been commissioned by watch company and tournament sponsor Breitling, which last month announced a partnership with the Six Nations with several faces from each competing nation to represent the brand.
