More words. This has been talked about since 2017 and we are still waiting for some meaningful action.

Maybe move Rees Zammit to full back? He can get involved all over the pitch ... Will Jordan style.

It's not just last night. I went through all the penalties and conversions from last season (I don't waste my weekends!) and we had a 60 per cent success rate - worst in the URC, next worst was Munster with 65 per cent. Glasgow had a 79 per cent success. It must have cost us the playoff place.

If it is going to keep running for almost another year, but with the handbrake off, I am not sure this is much of a win.

Joining Apple Music is the worst decision I have made recently. I have a huge amount of music that I bought in iTunes, and that I was very happy with. Can't use iTunes any more, and joining Apple Music (which is garbage compared to Spotify) has screwed up my file sharing. Rant over ... for now

I think if Munster and Ulster both win we probably have to go back and play the Bulls again. It doesn't seem much of a prize to be honest.

They certainly chose their name well. He has been a thorn in the side of various Welsh teams but I can't help but like Willie Le Roux. He takes risks but with the imagination and skills to back it up.

If we finish 6th I think we have to go back again for a play-off. We need Glasgow to win today then we need to finish 7th. A trip to Glasgow would be a decent game, style-wise the Bulls are the worst possible match up.

When more factories producing ammunition and missiles open there will be more respect. Until then it is words and paper, but no more capability.

The EU always has a Eurobarometer survey question on citizen support for the EU. Currently highest since 2006. Under 20 per cent of respondents have a negative opinion, positive opinion is now over 50 per cent. With current trends in trans-Atlantic relations support for the EU will probably grow.

First time I saw Wales live in Cardiff was in 1973. We have had a lot of ups and some downs since then but I have never been in a place where I don't want to watch at all. Very close to that now.
