You can't go wrong with eggs mun

Fair enough, I suppose. Massive egg head, me. Boiled (soft), fried, scrambled, poached - you name it!

You hate eggs?

It's such a non-story

Yeah I'm not sure if Martin was ever that good, or just an over-hyped prospect, on the basis of his size and athleticism, à la Mason Grady. I remember that JRWC. Cunningham-South was a stand out, Martin wasn't.

To draw another parallel, in @squidgerugby.bsky.social recent video, he compares Henry Pollock's rapid progression compared to Morgan Morse, despite both being similarly gifted and starting from a similar base level. One comes from an academy system with double th spend of the other

I agree, but there is a serious conversation to be had about the quality of coaching and elite player development structure in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. With all the natural ability both undeniably possess, how good would Plumtre and Murraybe by now - and it kills me to say it - if theirs mams were Irish?

Both have bags of talent. It they had been in an goid environment with top coaching, they could both become outstanding international class players.

I feel he gets picked on by referees

I mean, come on lads.

Yes I also sent it to the group chat

I cannot relate to this, as I am never anything but magnanimous in defeat, even when the team I am hard-wired to care deeply about play LIKE A BUNCH OF FUCKING USELESS CUNTS for the last 10 minutes.

For example, my first act after the final whistle was to text Dave Reddin. 'CONGRATS DAVE', it read.

FUCK NED

Y11 have been so secretive throughout this whole process. Who knows what their intentions are.

Another interesting plot line is with the Cardiff bid falling through the and having damaged their relations in Swansea, will Y11 now commit long term to the Os, or walk away from Welsh rugby. If the former, Scarlets will be on the chopping block, given that Y11 seem willing to accept WRU control.

It remains to be seen if they are still willing to sell to the Hollywood consortium. it may be that they wanted Y11, because they were willing to give the WRU full control of rugby ops. If Hollywood aren't, then I suspect the WRU will just keep running Cardiff long term.

Ed Byrne should stick to comedy

We live and learn

Sense now, enough is enough.

Cardiff are the problem and they need to be shutteeed at the end of the season.

After all, as their fans have wisely been opining for months now, one needs to go so that thee can have viable budgets.

Sorry Cardiff, but fuck off now please.

Around and around we go.

That's me done with Munster. Just no alignment between our respective sets of values.

By the way, this is not a spoiler, as this information is given away in the film's first act, so please don't be put off from watching it. An enjoyable family fantasy sci fi with some poignant bits and a strong cast and works as an analogy for the death of Welsh rugby 3.5/5.

I watched a film last night called The Life of Chuck, in which the protagonist is dying and the universe is collapsing at the same rate of progression as his illness, with civilisation ending, upon his death.

It feels like what is happening right now, except with Welsh rugby in the role of Chuck.

Reddin is talking out of his hole. We don't need a fee paying school strategy in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Welsh rugby is not in a rut because of a lack of fee paying rugby schools. I didn't realise that that was his strategy when he was referring to 'the number of schools', but if it is, he needs stopping.

I think it is an important distinction to make, given that those boys would already have been top rugby talents before landing at those private schools, where they would have only spent 2-3 years max. It is therefore inaccurate to define them as products of private schooling.

Re the stat on those 'privately educated' players, it is possibly only partially accurate, given that those concerned were, in some cases, privately educated only from the age of 15-16 onwards, having received partial / full scholarships to one of the three rugby playing private schools.

In 2019, Wales were the number one rugby team in the world. Five years later, they were on an 18-match, 2-year losing streak with no hope in sight. This is the story of how negligence, incompetence, and austerity tore apart one of rugby's proudest nations, and where it ends-

No sorry I'll still be injured by then.

I was hoping to keep this number under wraps until the opening ceremony, but now that the cat is out if the the bag, I would like to express my thanks to Gianni Infantino and President Trump, for bestowing upon me what will be the greatest honour of my lifetime. I won't let you down lads. 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸⚽
