Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Cymry ddyliai fod yn rheoli Rygbi Cymru. Hyn yn dangos nad oes dim dim affiliw o deimlad gan rhain.

Y cwestiwn yw pam fod 50000 wedi mynd i wylio hon nid pam fod 30000 wedi aros adra?! Dylai unrhyw gefnogwr rygbi Cymru ddatgan ei ffieiddra gydag URC trwy beidio mynychu gemau ….. Cymry ddylai fod yn rheoli Rygbi Cymru. Mae’r Undeb yn gywilydd.

A view down a mountain path with a green valley below & huge clouds in the sky

For anyone stuck in a gloomy office today, here's a view descending the mountain path from Cader Idris mountain last week, close to the 1963 find spot of a hoard of Iron Age shields & fittings 🤩

The Talyllyn valley beyond is part of the Mach Loop, & jets often fly past below this path!

Supercharging into oblivion? Welsh professional rugby is very far from perfect. But it has always depended, and will always depend, on the passion of Welsh people for what for so long was, but may no longer be, our national ga…

The WRU will launch its consultation on the future of the game in Wales today.

Fun moment with a shopkeeper today. I asked her what the German speakers of Switzerland called Swiss French speakers. ‘Welch’ she said as the penny dropped with a smile. In German and English, Welsh conveys otherness. Cymry conveys a sense of being one of us. Together here!
