A proud dad with a beautiful fiance & an ever smiling Gen Xer. Passionate about rugby in the face of some challenging times for the Scarlets & Wales.

@typesfaster Were you a bit scared? The big city can be a frightening place for children & innocents! I expect it was nice when you got back home to a country famous for it's lack of crime, murders and socialised health care. It's great that you're encouraging your followers to stay at home!

@Gosleepriya My mate Dave had an unfortunate accident with Yamaha electric organ once. That was pretty big.

@_El_1988 The 'Powys' is a term used in cosmology to describe that the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light and light from the early universe is yet to reach us because of this expansion. Powys is so big, it's true size has never been measured and can only be estimated.

@LWaunfawr If the last 22 years have taught us anything, there are parts of Wales that absolutely have failed to adapt to regionalism and indeed professionalism 30 years ago: The fact that we are now talking about another fundamental restructure in the pro game proves we failed to adapt!

@clumsyoaf33 Kelly Brook was and is stunning. Naturally beautiful. I must be honest, not one male person I've talked to has said a word against her. She is quality & the epitome of beautiful inside & out. I'm 52 & she was & still is one of THE poster girls of my generation.

@URCOfficial Don't tell me...
Give me a second...
Oooh this is a toughie!

@ScarletsOTD @RugbyMSociety I was there. Never forget Gavin Harlstings putting his hand up like a policeman managing traffic and the tackling player stopping in mid charge looking confused when big Gavin ran off down the touch line. What a brilliant occasion.

@Rich_Cooper Not one mention of attraction. Let's say that 5 of these men exist but she doesn't fancy any of them. Does she compromise on her own emotional wants? You can sometimes spot a divorce before a relationship starts. She's trying to bottle love but it won't work.

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

@jomickane No it didn't. It was exactly the same as it is today. Schools closed, offices closed & trains stopped. The difference is, today thousands can work from home so in that regard, as a nation we're better off today.

@BBCScrumV If the All Blacks turn up it might be 3-74. If Wales turn up it may be 14-63. Wales' defence has been very poor this Autumn, unless this improves you will not win against the big teams & the question then becomes how many will you concede.

@simonrug But only when it's a marketing tool used to sell more tickets. I'm not saying it shouldn't be used but they can't cite its importance when marketing & then turn around & discard it when it suits. The popularity of rugby in Wales is grounded in tradition, history & heritage.

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

@S4Cchwaraeon But we have failed to adapt. Ask anyone from Pontypridd, Ebbw Vale or a supporter from any valleys team "who's your pro team" and see what they say. They may have supported Wales for the last 22 years but few of them have migrated support to Llanelli, Ospreys, Cardiff or Newport.

@simonrug @miamiU12 Yes, I don't understand why the Union is backing itself into a negotiating corner. In fact it doesn't seem like a negotiation, more like an ultimatum. This must be hugely damaging to the WRUs reputation as a commercial partner in the eyes of the business community.

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

@simonrug @miamiU12 Who'd submit a tender under the same terms & conditions the current benefactors rejected? Unless the WRU is looking to sell off the Pro game to a private equity consortium who are just there to syphon cash from the fans & turn the pro game into a cash cow for foreign investors?

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

@LizKershawDJ Do you know what it was like working in a coal pit? It was brutally tough. Easy to say we should be burning it when you don't have to mine it. Wales, Scotland & the North of England are crying out for investment & your suggestion is to get people back down the pits?

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

@jessgill03 That's not the Britain of the 70s & 80s I grew up in. Britain was riddled with strikes, high inflation, high unemployment & social unrest (the 3 day week, miners strikes, London riots etc). 70s & 80s was tough for many parts of the UK outside of London. Your utopia didn't exist.

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

@WelshRugbyUnion We can't even score against a team 13th in the World when their down to 13! Wales on this showing would struggle against anyone in the top 15. I watched Canada earlier. That's the standard we're playing at.

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

Just found out that Wales' defense is sponsored by Lakeland. Best sieves & colanders in the world!

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

@benjames1796 What Wales need is a new brand of Cereal and a new multi million pound rollercoaster down Queen Street! That fits with their efforts to diversify the WRU portfolio!

[Chris Richards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WelshChris1]

@simonrug Where do you. Think Wales are picking up a win in the 6 nations Simon? All the teams are looking strong this year.
