For me the '70s; more specifically 75 onwards (I turned 12 in 75 so I could actually really remember and understand matches). Some of the rugby was dire; in the days before use it or lose it forwards often seemed happy enough to take a little rest in the rucks, lineouts were a complete random chanc...

The 70s when I was a young impressionable child. Living in Llanelli, I thought rugby was the most important game in the world, and we were at its centre.

We shouldn't be picking just 1 Openside for any squad as I pointed out previously. I like Deaves but Tommy has been excellent at a higher standard of rugby for a longer period of time. But let's see what Deaves can do. As opposed to a top class player and proven international. Fair enough 👌 Perhaps...

The starting front row looked comfortable scrum time. Otherwise a fair summary. Centres and back 3 need a complete change. Unfortunately Cammy is injured and Beetham is shite.

Harry Deaves called up. Not sure what Tommy has done wrong Deaves gives more going forward than Tommy. He's done nothing wrong, but to be fair to the coaching team, if they want to see us become a more threatening side then getting more carriers in the team makes sense. We shouldn't be picking just...

These are pretty much our best players. Jesus wept.

Probaly missed it but how come the in form winger the URC Tom Bowen is not in the Wales squad. He has been electric everytime I have seen him play. Like a young Shane Williams. He’s 19 and small. But given how shit Murray was if we are going to have a small back 3 player, I agree that we should pic...

Always enjoy the ratings on WOL for comedy value....Max Llewellyn - tackled his socks off, including some very good scrambling work and made some big carries. Not a top performance but decent. He gets 5/10. Ben Thomas - yellow card for needless kick, wayward kicking from hand, and throwing the inte...

Mann and Ben Thomas were awful today. Again.

Really unsure of our 10, 12 1nd 13 combo.

If the Scarlets do go in the reshuffle, at least it gives me an excuse not to watch that drivel we saw today.
