Good to see Jon Fox back for the moons, he looks in awesome shape from the pic in WoL fair play

So, Monday night rugby - I'm hoping it won't remain once crowds are allowed back in!

Who would you pick as your starting XXIII against Scotland right now? 15 Halfpenny 14 Adams 13 Tomcyn 12 ???? 11 Steff Evs 10 Biggar 9 Cawdor 8 Navidi 7 Tipuric 6 Wainwright 5 AWJ 4 Ball 3 ???? 2 Ken 1 Wyn Jones 12 a trouble spot possibly? -Johnny Williams, Owen Watkin, Kieran Williams 3 Samson has...

Wait. We gave him to you. Are you allowed to just give him away again?

We've already had him once, was a better centre than scrum half!

It never rains but blimming pours, another of our better players out for a few months

Don't like talking about the ref too much, especially showtime and mini showtime, but with the news JP Doyle is being released by the rfu I'm hoping the pro14 suits have been on the phone to him offering a contract for next season.

Hopefully reffing the blues instead of showtime too!

How do you see the teams lining up this weekend? Full hog or half and half? Mighty bloos v the moons, I'd go for a mixture, try out some of the younger players see how they go against the best side in Wales. There's no point going in with a 'strongest' side for us, there's nothing on the game so use...

MotoGP rider - travelling the world, riding the fastest bikes against the best riders. It's a shit job - but someone's gotta do it

WOL and BBC both reporting if the Fat Saes has agreed a new contract with the Chiefs it's over for him re-Wales. Was he offered a contract by any of the regions? Didn't the WRU say they were going to review the whole thing? He's on 47 caps, so if the review came down to 40 or 45, you can safely say...

You’d have to worry for the Blouses. Whilst the others are making some splashes in the market, they’re plagued with money issues and having to settle for Cory Hill as their marquee player. I'll start a Just Giving page for everyone on here to contribute I'll give you my thoughts, but no more. It's ...

We've already got some shockers and having already seen Stuart Berry a few times in Cardiff, he fits right in with most of them

We are actually broke, the dragons have more funding than us and have for the last season We need Covid to do a number on the members of CAC, speed up the inevitable Fair play to the Blues. Broke and signed Amos and Hill, while trying to bring on Watkins too. Bullshit Blues more like. Always find a...

Nick Tomkins to the Dragons on Twitter now. Dragons spending the cash. Moneybags Ospreys with their sugar daddy's Pity us poor Blues Not announcing any signings out of respect to current situation, so we'll take a moral win. However, fudge that I'd much prefer us to announce something, all other re...

Aled Davies signs for Saracens, ends his Wales career. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/52819638 Shut the door on your way out... Good move for him. Hardy becomes 4th choice Definitely ranks as one of those 'how did he manage that' signings. Aaron Jarvis springs to mind as another when he si...

No link for it but I've just read that Danny Wilson has got the Glasgow top job, after the good job he did at Cardiff that's a worry, they were doing well anyway, but if he gets them playing as well as he got Cardiff playing they'll be hard to beat. Very good signing for Glasgow that, he'll push th...

Fair play it is a good signing for you. I like that despite being a bit of a poach he's committed to wanting to play for Wales by moving here, da iawn.

Demonstrates the 60 cap rule continues to work, hopefully more to follow.

Would the South African teams even want to play in the NH? It would effectively turn pro-Rugby in SA into a summer sport, competing directly with cricket for TV market share. Whilst summer Rugby could be managed, it would still have some potential downsides. There are already two SA sides playing '...

God knows where he's going, not everyone is chuffed they've got rid of him, bit like Will Boyde last year, he's performed for Scarlets and he's still going, I can only presume he doesn't get on with the new head-shed. Hey, I'm used to people taking the piss, the worst ones are the valley boys, do th...

So, any news on where Cunningham is headed now he's been usurped by an untried AB? I'm hoping that'll work out really well for the moons. There's always room at the bloos, could definitely due with Smith having a hand with our pack. hmmm, always good to see a Cardiff fan so well informed, Richard K...

very true.

In very limited other news, how weird does it look seeing photos of a welsh lad now coaching the crusaders!

Any further transfer updates/rumours?

I've read the blues are in for a saffa second row - but no names unfortunately.

May have been on before, but we need 600, so who's your favourite clubman player - your club/region and one from an opposing team who used to do your head in, one from club days and one from regional My teams; Cardiff rfc - Owain Williams, loved his attitude, always played with a smile, niggly, anno...

Alfie was hard as nails, deceptively fast and maybe most importantly super versatile (didn't he have an international cap everywhere outside half backs?). He also had to play in some seriously shit Welsh teams. I'd put him up there ahead of most of those guys personally. All fair points. However, h...

Great stuff LoT. For the Blues I'm not there with some of those picks 15 Halfpenny 13 Shanks 10 Anscombe 7 Captain Sam I'd agree with you - with only HP v Ben Blair being close. What about Best XV across all regions? I'd agree with Shanks, Chicken and Capt Sam, not so much Halfpenny - Benny was cla...

Was chatting with an English mate of mine recently who I haven't talked with in 10+ years. We travelled up to Stradey for Ieuan Evans' testimonial nearly 25 years ago (Nov 1995). Fair play, hell of a lineup Ieuan Evans, Jonah Lomu, Sean Fitzpatrick, Jason Little, Thierry Lacroix, Olivier Roumat, Jo...

Iestyn poor Iestyn. Brought in to be the next great 10 to be an ordinary 12 and then quietly cast back to League. He tried his best More time and less pressure was definitely required for him. Jason Robinson was garbage first time he came down from league. Remember watching him in that European gam...

Following on from the Stealing a Paycheck thread - who are the biggest shysters to have played in Wales (club or international) other than Derwyn Jones? From recent memory - I'll start us off with: -Zane Kirchner at the Dragons -Rory Thornton at Os/Blues -Lloyd Peers/Ashley -Jonathon Thomas for Wal...

Johnny McNicholl, sees tackling as an optional extra he didn't sign up for

Weird watching the scrum hits - so different from these days Scrums were so much quicker. Better viewing experience. Sort your shit out World Rugby. One scrum halfway through the first half turned the game our way. The weight Adam Jones put through was immense, destroyed them and from there we didn...

Shane was a better player than JJ but not a better Lion. Quinnell over Merv is a very, very big call. Merv is arguably the greatest eight in Lions history. Scott was superb but went on one (losing) tour. Times are obviously different, but look at the players around Merv then around Quinnell. Scott ...

Shane remains - for me - the greatest winger not called Jonah, but JJ had genuine Olympic speed to go with everything else. Not sure Shane’s top end was as rapid, where Shane (and Jason Robinson) were gifted was the ability to hit top speed in three strides. Edit: where Shane would definitely edge ...

JJ over Shane everytime. Shane's Lions record is distinctly ok Yes. I was trying to focus on those Welsh who excelled as Lions. Not the other way around i.e. excelled with Wales but not Lions. I dunno, if Shane were playing in those Lions teams would he have not got to the level JJ was at? Of cours...
