Play Ospreys out of a 'stadium' with temporary stands

Keep the Dragons, 8 wins from last 54 games (3 seasons) in the league

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. Quite possibly we were the best club side in the world for a while. Cup Finals every May. That's why its always been Scarlets above Wales. Walking...

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.

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...

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.

‘International quality’ is too subjective. I don’t think Rogers or Davies are. Ellis Jenkins may have had a better international career, but you’d find many who’d say Young was the better open side.

You’re left with two teams with a track record of producing pro quality players across the park with enhanced funding to elevate and retain those players.

They put the Irish thread on pause for 15 minutes. It was all that blarney and bluster that was killing us. The only comparison I can think of, is when during covid, fishing was temporarily halted, and the seas repopulated significantly.

Slot will work through the issues. Liverpool are still a huge force and will challenge for the title in my opinion. I don't think we can swing back and fore based on a few results.
