I’m going to start calling the WRU cutting a region ‘Wexit’

Dear @ubereats.bsky.social thanks for your suggestion that I tip your delivery driver.

Looking at the relative profit margins may I suggest you pay them a fair wage instead?

So this weekend each of the Welsh Regions plays a league match without most of their best players.

At the same time Wales play a meaningless international without most of its best players to make no profit.

And the WRU want more control? 🤷‍♂️

Missed the game but think I’m up to date on the state of Welsh Rugby:

Shipping 54 points at home to the 6th best team in the world is a massive improvement

Blair Murray needs to work on his height

2 regions, probably 3, possibly somewhere in between is the way forward

Thanks Otis and Dick

So a very similar result to his employers mismanagement of the game for the past 30 years…

The more I think about the WRU “consultation” document the more I realise it’s nothing of the sort. It’s an opening negotiating position:

2 teams (rather than 3 or 4)
£96 million over 5 years not the £120 million offered under the PRA

They really are a joke of an outfit!

I know no one on Bluesky cares about rugby but…

SCAAAAARLETS!

Couldn’t decide how to enjoy the pinnacle of Welsh sport today so went to Lords… Did we win?

Last night I was in a bar next to my local Italian Restaurant. I walked next door to order a takeaway and was told it would be an hour at least. Went on uber eats and ordered a delivery from the same place for 15 mins later and also got 2 for the price of 1. Met delivery driver there 🤷‍♂️

It’s Leslie Nielsen’s birthday & this is still the greatest gag in the history of comedy.

Ouch

Excitement levels just went up a notch. Only 4 of the 5 Guardian writers picked us to finish bottom… the other, Ugo Monye, is wrong!

Never before have I been less interested in the start of the 6N. In years gone by I’d have booked the day off, gone for breakfast with at least 3 papers to read the previews. This year I don’t even know our team. Cheers Warren and Abi 🍻

The irony in this statement by Warren Gatland!! There’s a reason for that… because their entire international career they’ve been in a team coached by you 😂

Good news: we are winning the singing.

Unfortunately we’re definitely second at the rugby right now. #scarlets

In 2025 I shall try and swear less at referees.

Checks referee for this afternoon’s game…. Oh!

For Sale. 4 x Tickets for Wales in Six Nations.

They were originally in Tier 1, now in Tier 2, probably in Tier 3 by time of kick off.
