Looked like nothing - but a Tier 2 team. Tier 1 teams are getting away with stuff. Not really right - the management of those teams must feel demoralised..

South African last night said he reckoned they'll chuck the USA match to avoid the all blacks until the final (where he said, they'll choke). Don't think they can though as they'll fail to qualify but I couldn't resist. Are you sure you haven't already :)

In North Wales, not the south I think :) they've been nicking the wire baskets apparently. I remember my mother putting everything in boxes years ago - but you would need to reuse them.

Right then - I'm going to say gunned - having big muscles :) Just to confuse it more. edit #madeupword

(update for Wal-Aus) Hooper Cited for charging and found guilty - 1 week out. Folau is an injury doubt Horne is an injury doubt All Welsh players OK - as long as they get over seeing the ghost of Henry VIII in the hotel (think they were tired) :)

As the Ghanaian embassy says "If you have already lost funds or feel you may currently be involved in the above described scheme, please contact your local Secret Service field office." http://ghana.usembassy.gov/419-scam.html Wheres that in ED then ?

Piers Morgan tweeted this morning "Is there anyone in the world more annoying than Charlotte Church" As you can guess there's about 1000 replies all saying "You".

Farrell junior was really stupid IMHO - and got caught almost by accident it seemed - I remember nigel owens having a word with him in the first game about petulance.

It was all my doing. She was in Maastricht if I remember when she heard that she hadn't won the first ballot by enough. The BBC political guy said we wouldn't be seeing her but we all shouted "she's behind you".

Charlotte's response on twitter "Can't say I had a ball on question time, that's not a Cardiff/Welsh audience that I would recognise. However thanks for your support twitter"

Hoping Wales have enough left to put up a fight against Aus - looked out at the end of last night. If England win with no bonus points then a losing bonus point for Wales might be enough to knock Australia out.

We've got two humongous carriers being finished :) It's deterrence only with the nukes IMHO.

It all comes down to Australia - England then. Not surprised. If you beat them soften them up for us :)

My thoughts that he might not stay are due to him being 70 in 2020. Love it that loads of the 16-21 year olds support him - and he uses that.

Government used to post around these "protect and survive" booklets at the most dangerous points. Anyone remember them ?

Dangerous to let everybody know that.

This morning on Sky News Eamonn - is it true you swapped ties for your speech with a colleague Corby - yes - we decided as a group on the best tie (paraphrasing) Eamonn - it was red - what was the colour of the original Corby - Another shade of red :)

Anyway Back on topic Corbyns speech was a stormer :)
