Same for England's last try maybe ? It's having the ball under control I think.


But they were always going to give both.

I doubt that's the case but in a WC year experience will count for a lot. Also with rugby being so attritional there's always going to be injuries.

?England are making a significant mistake by travelling today, coming through Newport at about five o?clock is probably not the best thing to be doing, going through the Brynglas tunnels,? said Gatland. ?There?s a good chance tractors and buses will hold them up. That?s going to be an experience for them.?


.... Gatland telling the tractor squad to zero in.

Agree - in fact I would go 70-30 on Ireland winning and the same (or more) the other way on England-Scotland. In a strange position of wanting England to win the 6N but being happy for Wales to get the Slam, so be happy either way!

Jeremy Guscott thought Wales lost their concentration at halftime maybe they thought they had it in the bag (Wales very rarely put their foot down when on top).


The WRU also (with extremely brilliant timing) announced the merger of the Ospreys and the Scarlets last week - then rolled back on it (or something else happened - it's always murky down in Welsh rugby politics). Shouldn't have affected Wales but you just never know - Ken Owens (the hooker) was definitely talking a lot about it during the week.

Just an example of the current Welsh Rugby politics - statement from the Ospreys on Sunday.


?The tedious narrative that the Ospreys are somehow facing an impending financial challenge is not only entirely false, but malicious propaganda by those for whom the demise of the Ospreys would be a twisted convenience.?

    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
    • To be fair, anything which waylays someone on their way to Palma Nova or Lloret de Mar from spending even more pre-flight time in Spoon's surely has some merit? I think losing a few quid on a litre of Bacardi and 200 Benson & Hedges Gold seems a reasonable price for society to pay. ,
