Ulster duly beat Cardiff on the 31st Jan to send the #ChallengedCup back to Wales.

Then in a shock result Cardiff beat Leinster 8-7 and the #ChallengedCup moves to Dublin.

Leinster's next fixture is away at Glasgow. Which ones of the URC's big hitters will take it home?

Ratti is a lesser version of PSdT.
He's an athlete with an amazing engine who regularly plays the full 80 and is involved constantly.

If you want someone to consistently do the dirty work of a 6 with the requisite size to have an impact at test level then Ratti is it.

& he can cover 2nd row.

I mean currently there's a Labour led council and a labour MP for Monmouthshire.

But yeah the point stands

Why do so many commentators refer to Leinster players as young at 22? Yes the player is on debut but Cam Winnett only turned 23 lasted month.

Since it now looks likely that the WRU EGM will be going ahead in the next couple of months, it's probably worth looking at what's being proposed by the WRU members who have triggered the EGM.

Here's the full text of the proposal which was submitted to the WRU the other day:

I mean..... Possible

Dropped.

Tipuric was selected to start and it was under Howley that Biggar became the starting 10 as Gatland preferred Priestland.

Yeah but Sam was dropped after the Ireland game and Ryan Jones captained the other games until injured and Gethin Jenkins took over.

I mean it could be true or it could be Warburtonsn selective memory

The kits with celtic knot are by far the best kits we've had

And Howley was head coach for that 6 Nations as Gatland was on Lions duty.

If they were competent enough to get market worth for the naming rights of the Satadium. Half these financial issues wouldn't exist.

If it's a voice in the head are they only able to hear it after breathing in some slime mold spores?

I've not seen a lot of Freddie Thomas but is he playing better that Rhys Davies?.
Why bother at all with the late call up for RD if he's only going to hold tackle bags?

#Shit Whoever designed Wales' kick chase. Mee is decent in the air but if he's chasing & there's no planned cover on his wing then that's easy metres for the opposition.

If you expect your plan to work 100% and don't factor contingencies then it's a shit plan.

I was literally shouting at the TV over this.

Mee is good at challenging in the air but if we send him solo and he doesn't win the ball there needs to be some cover on his wing channel.

Far too oftern there wasn't propoer cover and Wales were exposed

A sobering segment in the BBC’s build-up to Wales v France.

The WRU believe that they have support from the fans and players.

The Welsh rugby public say otherwise.

FFS

Every time Mee goes to chase a kick there's no support covering his wing channel.

Who the fuck designers that attacking play??

But at least we have a definitive minded 13 on the bench.....Oh wait it's Grady not Watkin

The ITV commentary blanking genge for the try was a little harsh.

If the only person chasing back is one of your props you have fundamental issues

I have a real problem with Irish commentators not being able to pronounce Izuchukwu in the URC and just calling him Izzy.

It's lazy at best

We're Still Here is a powerful refrain

It's used in Wales as part of the independance movement

With little brother Mason James also in the Ospreys pathway there's a non zero chance that they pack down together in the future.

And that for every 4 times you run at that 10 channel one is likely to be a line break
