Re: Iranian drones heading towards Israel - AND IT’S LIVE
Is World War 3 starting again then. Must be the 5th or 6th World War 3 in the past two decades, I'm starting to think a lot of people are just bored and want it to happen.

Barclay is great, I also think Shane Williams is better than one would expect from a Welsh perspective. Roberts is pretty blah. Warburton is alright but harps on about his preferred topics/tactics too much.
