Tallest person in my house, lover of sport, strange recall of random song lyrics, knower and sharer of extremely useless facts, and friend to.... some...

@cjw4168 @thepaulwilliams He was Head Coach at Wasps from 2005-2011. McGeechan was Director of Rugby, Edwards was head of coaching and defence. They won pretty much everything during his time there. Leagues, Euro Cups, Domestic cups...

@DrAlexFord @thepaulwilliams @BBCScrumV @simonrug I reckon Neil Back would have a good crack at it. Quick in places, very fit and strong.

@leebennett208 And don’t forget the cup winners cup!

@GrahamScutz Not sure i'd read too much into who was or wasn't favoured in the last few games of the season. He needed a team at short notice to do a job. After a full pre-season RDZ will have a better feel for who he prefers. We'll need to be patient.

@NaijaBet @SpursDaily_ @TheAthleticFC Ange? You should ask AI to work harder for you…

@SamRobertsComms The clubs thought it would be like prem football overnight, but back then, most interested were either already going, or at their local club. The game needs eyeballs. The last couple of seasons the prem has been great. But no one would know. As a sport we talk to ourselves.

@SamRobertsComms Isn’t one of the big misses in England is the TV deal. D2 is part of the top 14 package in France, so clubs and games get exposure and money. Here, you’d never know the champ exists. But worse, the prem exists in the shadows. Never reported on radio. Only rugby fans watch.

@AlasdairGold It’s the hope that kills us. All in our hands, all advantage sits with us. All but one permutation sees us survive… I fully expect to be relegated today.

@Tim_Burgess Were you hoping for a bigger turn out?

@thepaulwilliams Like last time, the difference was the last 10 when the bench couldn’t sustain the level of the first 70. A bit of strength in depth to go the difference and Wales can look forward again. They’ve put pride back in the shirt and and look committed with greater intensity.

[Gareth Hopley @GarethTheHop]

@ATRightMovies I’ve never met either.

[Gareth Hopley @GarethTheHop]

@SRheady1 @thepaulwilliams Agreed. A game against Italy used to be frustrating to watch as they were negative. Not any more. They’re great to watch. Helps they have developed some great players, but their approach and tactics are great.

[Gareth Hopley @GarethTheHop]

@nocontextspursy Maybe I’m wrong. But I doubt we’re even looking at him.

[Gareth Hopley @GarethTheHop]

@story16413 It’s almost like none of the rumours are true and are just made up and then mindlessly shared by countless people? So everyone gets angry about missing out on all the players we never tried to sign? Could be something like that.
