Re: First bit of sh!t hits the fan for ARU - Daugunu refuses to play
Legally I can understand why the aru did what they did. In my experience relocation fees wouldn’t typically sit inside an employment contract but a side letter. I’ve seen it done a couple of ways. 1) the company just does it all and you don’t lift a finger. Just be there when the movers rock up. 2)...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
We talked at the beginning of the season about either LRZ or Adams converting to FB...maybe now would be a good time for Adams to have a little challenge in that regard. I've still got hopes for Nagy. He's not the second coming of JPR, but he's solid under the high ball, has a boot on him...but mos...

Re: Jeff's All New And Morose Wales Ratings v Italy
Coming back to something I mentioned previously, my biggest issue is how poor we looked with the ball. We played all the rugby in that game. We dominated possession and territory. We ran 50% more metres, made twice as many passes and carries, and beat 10 more defenders. Dyer, North and Adams all ca...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
Gatland has to go. He was the right man to steady the ship so we didn't embarrass ourselves at the world cup but extending his contract beyond that was stupid. He's been out of date for about 8 years now. Somebody on gwlad compared him to Jose Mourinhio and I think he has a point. Ok. Say we get ri...

The big difference is that the English have the bodies to cope with our big lumps, and they do have a bench too. The Welsh had to keep their front row 70 minutes on the pitch because they didn't trust the subs. The hooker on the bench was only playing his 7th pro game in his career! 3rd choice Card...
