It certainly was unforgettable and I was there. I had it on video - probably still do, if only I could play it!

Maybe the WRU ought to pack in rugby totally and become promoters for music events. Think how many stadium acts they could fit in around the year without pesky rugby games being played in the place. Sell the naming rights and call it O2 Wales.

Indeed but why not wind things up and just call themselves Ospreys? There’re are more stadiums in Cardiff than CAP.

I’d laugh, though, if Y11 bought Cardiff and moved to the Cardiff City Stadium, calling the new team….Ospreys.

To be fair, Macca wasn’t keen on it either and only compromised by allowing it to be released as a double A side single with “Girls School” (a far, far better song - a good rocker).
Not sure he’s ever played it live, (outside Scotland, where he has performed it on very rare occasions)

It’ll be interesting to see the debates, interviews and media coverage (which has to be even handed) during the run up to the election. Many people will be swayed by what they hear at that point. Policies will need to be firm and no longer “wait and see”.

There’s a large amount of blame but the union also has to recognise underfunding by diverting money to vanity projects (e.g. roof walk and zip wire) which have since failed. Blame on both sides.
It’s a tragedy it’s come to this.

I’m not getting it. He wants to keep the 4 (apparently unaffordable) teams but enter two super-regions into Europe? How do they qualify? Would the other unions allow that? How is it funded so they’re competitive if WRU say they can only afford £7.8m each for 2 teams?
