Wastad wedi mwynhau stori ffrind coleg oedd, pan yn grwt ysgol, yn aelod o fand o'r enw "Y Pwrsod Salw".

'Na ti enw oedd ond yn gweithio o fewn 5 milltir i Rhydaman.

Glywais i stori yn nhafarn y pentre fan hyn (Dyffryn Nantlle) aeth fel hyn:

Druan a Joanna.

Poor Joanna.

She clearly had no idea what she was getting herself into.

Those bastards in the next village are the worst.

Plumtree is way ahead of you there, having picked up a tournament-ending injury last week.

0-6.

This feels so, so, *so* correct.

But we'll take the win. Damply.

Also, nearly half of Britons think public services are a mess and somebody should do something about it.

Reminded of the time Ivo Graham turned up at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival with a work in progress show about Wales embracing the Green Party. He'd brought maps.

A minute in, an audience member pointed out that the green bits on his maps were Plaid Cymru Senedd members and things went a bit flat.

Please make a video about Ireland and then Italy.

Thanks.

'The WRU keeps repeating that governance has now been “professionalised”. To many inside the game, it increasingly looks like a system full of new titles and reshuffles rather than clear results'.

Pfft. Sky Sports commentators have just described a golfer who is younger than me as a "veteran".

A golfer! A veteran golfer!

It was only the match-winning try with 5 minutes to go. Nothing too important.

Yeah. Their bench had a much bigger positive impact than ours.

We're back, baby!

(For one week only)

That's certainly a word to describe that last 10 minutes.

Not one I'd choose, mind

Yep. Looks fine.

I mean, that penalty was awarded with 70 seconds left.

By the time Russell placed the kick, the clock had lost 20 seconds.

It's been a while since we could blame the ref for shepherding an opponent home.

So, there's that, I suppose.

Fagerson there.

Dear oh dear.

This is approximately 240,000,000% better than anything we've managed this season.

Scotland have been comically clumsy, though. I don't think we can expect them to be this hapless for another 40.

Oh gawd, what's he done?

(I'm watching S4C so am mercifully Jiffless).

I presume we shouldn't refer to Scotland's loosehead by name, and should agree to call him "The Scottish Prop", right?

GIVE IT TO SHANE...I MEAN CARRE...

There should have been at least one more.

Andre Cuny, refereeing Wales-Scotland in 1976, pulled a calf muscle 10 minutes into the second half, and refused to yield despite being immobile.

He didn't get with 30 yards of a ruck for the rest of the game, which unsurprisingly became free-for-alls.

That breakaway featuring only front 5 forwards was the undoubted highlight of that, and probably every other, half.

Magnificent.

Thoroughly enjoyed this piece. Thank you!

One (hopefully helpful, and exceptionally nerdy) addition. You note that the first use of 'wooden spoon' may have been in Frank Marshall's "Football: The Rugby Union Game" in 1892.

I think you're right. The following is on page 258:

CANNOT OBTAIN LOCK

A blessed relief.
