Look this may age badly in the second half, but I don’t care. I feel genuinely proud to support Wales when they play like this. Hearts on the line all day, with a clear identity/gameplan, absolutely relentless. Fuck the scoreline, sheer Calon. Go on the boys
You know what. I genuinely enjoyed that. First time I’ve enjoyed a Wales game in quite a long time. I honestly don’t care about the scoreline - a team as good as Ireland having to take a penalty at the end to guarantee victory over us is bloody good. Really proud of the lads 🏴
Oh, dear, oh dear, Zia. Another #Reform FuckUp.
1. Statement is from the Debating Society, not #Bangor University. At the request of the students. One does not represent the other.
2. Threatening funding from a group that disagrees with you is ... very Berlin 1934.
This has been going on so long I'd completed so many stages of grief that now it's happening all I have left is acceptance.
A huge part of my life is ending this week. I'll be angry again before too long but right now I just feel nothing.
The deal is not yet final.
There will be a way to fight this, to show that nobody but the WRU wants the death of Wales' most successful region.
It's time to find them and fight.

That breakdown is sleight-of-hand, not accounting.
He’s stacked different taxes on the same £100 as if they all apply at once and treated VAT—money he never keeps—as his income. That’s how you magically turn a normal tax system into a fake 74% headline.
In reality:
VAT goes straight to HMRC, he never earns it.
Corporation tax only applies to profit after costs, not turnover.
Dividend tax only applies after corporation tax, not to the original £100.
So the whole calculation falls apart the moment you stop pretending a business has 100% profit and zero overheads.
It’s a trick designed to shock people who don’t know the tax structure — not a reflection of how small business taxation actually works.
Population of Wales (2021 Census): 3,107,499
71% born in Wales
21% born in England
0.7% born in Scotland
0.2% born in N. Ireland
6.9% born outside UK
So why do some feel the need to attack the 6.9%? It’s nonsense and shameful to see a minority of Welsh people buying into it.
A tidal wave of darkness is coming.
Wales must prepare for the worst and fight with everything we have to protect our language, culture, democracy, history & communities.
If they succeed, Wales is finished. There will be no more Cymru.
That should terrify all of us.
It will never cease to amaze that Americans basically just got bored of having the best lives on the planet so they elected a lunatic to blow it up in the hopes of building some microwave factories for their children to find meaning in.
Rugby union has always been a game for all shapes and sizes, that along with its many other wonderful virtues is why so many of us love this game. We must be very careful not to diminish that.
