My therapist: So can you remember the moment when you finally stopped believing that the world was a just and good place?

Me:

Blair Murray's record under the highball for Wales in his last three tests-

v Japan (Test 1): Won 2 of 7 highballs hung on him

v Japan (Test 2): Won 3 of 6 highballs hung on him

v Argentina today: Won 1 of 8 highballs hung on him

Until Wales sort out the ability to win the high ball in any capacity, they will not compete at international rugby. It's too critical a component of the game these days.

Wales gifted Argentina somewhere in the region of 20 points in this game through basic errors/fitness issues. Does that meaingfully change the result no, but it does perhaps provide some better context to the scoreboard

Simple, wait for Jack Walsh to qualify

100% spot on. At best he's a winger

Enough - unsure. More than 6 months ago. Yes.

To go from losing by 3 points at half time, to losing by 15 is brutal. Goes from a game Wales can steal to a game we're playing for pride in an instant

Wales have had three or four choke tackles that on another day would have been called. O'Keefe has decided he isn't gonna give them today, Wales will have to adapt

I've really come around to Alex "f-you" Mann

Jac Morgan is something else.

You sure you're not watching Canada women?

Is it just me or does Tom Rodgers look taller without the scrum hat?

Tbf not much a national coach can do any basic skills in 10 days

The Warriors didn't last 2 years, they weren't responsible for building anything. It's a null argument in and of itself

It's incredible the Ospreys have the best back and best forward in the world. Keith and Deaves for PotY

Winner gets to exist in 2 years time

20 years ago WRU gave up on competing with football in North Wales.

Now they are (potentially) giving up on competing with football in Swansea.

WRU happy with rugby being replaced.

Honestly, the talk about the WRU surrendering North Wales to football, feels like it's going to happen again with Swansea. They've seen that Swansea City get massive crowds over the Ospreys, and just decided it's not worth fighting.

WRU is happy being the smaller sport.

Yes cause Glamorgan is all of Wales? What kind of logic is that?

Well it wouldn't be the Ospreys so I'd be out. As much as the WRU thought fans would follow players to new vibe, following owners is ludicrous

Back in the day I was staunchly Warburton > AWJ as Wales Captain

I whole heartedly rescind that opinion. AWJ and Ken Owens are the real ones 🫡

Me: "WRU chooses to support teams that listen to their threats over teams that question."

Newport Fan: "You hate us, and you screwed over Cardiff, and I'll laugh when your team is cut".

I hate Welsh Rugby.

6 months of chaos and uncertainty for an answer that's basically - "We'll be back with the axe in 2 years. In the meantime go play well!"

Every action of the WRU leads them to angering fans, and stressing players.

And half of "East" is England.

Map of Wales according to the WRU.

Turns out that here in Cymru we’re not as keen on fascism as some people thought we were.

I wonder why that might be?

Facts, plain and simple. First thing I did when sharing the team list with the family was try and apply everyone's position
