Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
I think carre's effort was a knock on so fair enough on that one. I thought the Thomas young non try was a kick out of his hands. If you accidentally kick a ball out of a ruck it would still be a penalty, so whatever the tackler intended that was the result. Seems like it should have been looked at...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
Nice looking side for us to lose with a BP. Wouldn't mind Cabango having a good run of games meaning we get rid of Adams of our wage bill There's never been a better time to play Ulster. Missing our best players, turmoil in the backroom, massively negative press and fans. Mike Adamson will see them...

I'm going to put it out there, but I think Toby might be cooked. He's 34 this year and played a LOT of rugby last season (over 1900min including the RWC). He hasn't set foot on a rugby pitch in over 6 months. I wouldn't wonder if he's looking at North and considering whether he should go and beat u...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
I reckon whoever we pick in the centres may well look better just for the fact we're likely to be picking a pack with the likes of Lake, Faletau and Morgan who should put us on the front foot a bit more. Playing with width, and therefore a footballing 12, then isn't such an issue, so Tompkins or Be...

Or it could just be that these players are looking at the standards of coaching and development available to them in Wales, and deciding to maximise their potential (income) by moving to a club where they have a chance to learning to be a decent pro.

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
Let's predict when Wales will next win a game of rugby. I'm going with Autumn 2025. I'm going bullish so I'm saying we'll win 1 2024 AI game and 1 2025 6N game. I'm also predicting Gats will resign at the end of year. I think we'll win 1x game out of Aus x2 or Fiji on the Summer tour if Anscombe / ...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
I'd like to see Max Llewelyn given another go - I know he's not been setting the world alight at Gloucester, but he's shown in the past that he can be a physical threat at 12, as well as having some nuance to his game.
He's also played with Grady a lot. Like to see him included on the Summer tour.
