You know, watching this when you're going through an incredibly difficult time already might have been one of the worst decisions i've made πŸ˜‚

You can see how empty it is in there. I hope the WRU are embarrassed

Crazy that Razor looks like he'll be sacked. Untouchable with the Crusaders but ABs have looked wobbly.

Seems like Jamie Joseph is a favourite to take over.

Honestly, they've been muddled but international rugby is not there to be dominated anymore. Too many good teams.

Swearing caught on ref mic has already happened in the Scarlets-Dragons game. Off to a good start!

Also, "Somehow, Farrell returned" made me giggle a lot

You know, I actually like Auckland. Maybe it's just because I live in London and literally everything is better than the big smoke.

I did like the South Island last time I was here, but I love the North too.

Crusaders really flexing the "we won 50% of our competitions" muscle

The first of many jersey related victims from this trip to Aotearoa.

Next on the list are some provincial shirts if I can get my hands on them!

i love him for many reasons, and one of them is that he backs his pace ALWAYS even when it is absolutely the wrong decision.

2nd most populated area in Cymru, mind you. I know it doesn't translate to more fans and more players but... it's all harrowing.

Seeing some talk that in the event of cutting down to 3 regions, Ospreys owners will buy Cardiff Rugby from the WRU...

Does that mean rugby in Swansea is basically... finished? How would that even work?

Especially after all the "close talks" with Dave Reddin that DR was banging on about recently

Heard the rumours Lake was going with Morgan. Can't say you can blame the players with all the uncertainty.

Gloucester a good option for a lot of the Welsh players wanting to stay close to home but not have to deal with the WRU's mess.

Sure is the latest in a long line of damning signs that this won't get better any time soon

no, NOW i've cracked it.

Ospreys merge with Harlequins, Dragons become Newport Gwent Gloucester Cherry Dragons, Cardiff becomes Cardiff Blues and Scarlets become Cardiff Reds.

and wales start every game 70 points down
