Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

Ellis Jenkins retiring. Sad news... Super player, very smart and very unlucky to pick up that injury after an incredible performance for Wales that looked like the arrival as an international. I always thought he was slightly undersized for what would have been potentially years of heavy-duty inter...

Re: War in Ukraine...

Unpopular opinion, but I don't believe anyone in the West should be cheering for Chechnya to become headline news again Without the Russian thumb sitting on top of it, it's far likelier to become the next aspiring Islamic caliphate than a peaceful beacon of Western-style democracy It will always be...

I've heard a rumour they are all backrow players - Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Basham, Sneezy and Dopey, with Rod Snow White being the new forwards coach. Quite feasible with Welsh rugby these days.

Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?

The UK already has one of the lowest smoking rates in the developed world, under 15% of people smoke, down from around 35% in 2000. That's considerably below the 20-40% range across most of the EU. The anti-smoking legislation passed during that time clearly had some effect. I would've preferred ha...

Granpa Question for you. I want you to be honest…. If Liverpool had Haaland instead of Darwin, do you think they win the PL this season? Yes, probably. Also if they had Kane, Toney, Isak or Watkins. But I'd still want Nunez in the side... He's not a proper number 9. Diaz is playing in his position....
