@RickyHarries That’s what happens when the WRU don’t let their defence coach fly with the team to ‘save’ money

@I_AM_INEV1TABL3 It was silly, what is annoying is sheedy is being rewarded for a completely upright attempted tackle

@AngelaRayner There is always a tweet

@technopopulist @bobsleigh284 There is the fundamental issue, Starmer’s judgement…to even mention Mandelson’s name for a position was moronic at best, he made his bed he must now lie in it

@BladeoftheS Both are run by Labour and both have agreed not to raise the council tax, which is an interesting one

@Simonspaceman1 @RonSwanson145 They can complete the residency rules whilst in English boarding schools if they are there long enough, as the schools are their primary residence. The Welsh boarding schools need to be offering more scholarships

@will_hooley @Bulldoggywog Watch his drop kick against Ulster in the URC last season it’s firmly in his locker

@Wookster12 @marcongers @KP24 @MinisterOfEish @EnglandRugby The frustration is he is a hugely talented player, but also so arrogant, if he was humble, my god he would have opposition fans cheering him left right and centre, he doesn’t need this for his image or his game, he should let his rugby do the talking because he will be elite

[Oli Thomas @OliThomas92]

@HonestFrank Fantastic effort and a net 5 points can’t blame him, Smith missed 6 points out there

@BGriffi58461962 @CardiffRugbyWeb It’s school boy stuff, you are always told to not turn your backs, it was a tad embarrassing

[Oli Thomas @OliThomas92]

@CarlPonty @simonrug @CymraegCorrect This is everything, professional sport is solely an entertainment business if the entertainment isn’t there true fans will not go

@OldDownbadians Billy and Mako moved to wales, as their dad played club rugby in wales. Both benefited massively from going to Harrow and Milfield, Mako still has a Ponty accent 😂

@AJ_Journo Anyone but Plumtree

@barbedquill There were good players in those squads just a mess with the coaching team, Gatland was a good proven hire with Edwards in 08, now we have a poor squad with an average at best HC and basically no back room staff, I admire your optimism but we are screwed

[Oli Thomas @OliThomas92]

@tweetsfromben @SquidgeRugby @missscarlet81 True and that leads me onto another point which is the link between rugby and neurological illnesses. If in the next 10 years more ex pros reveal they have suffered irreparable brain injuries attributed to rugby, parents who love their kids may not want them to risk that?

[Oli Thomas @OliThomas92]

@LWaunfawr @simonrug No of course but what frustrates me the most, is so many of their decisions are unnecessary, and heap more pressure on them. More worryingly the team look terribly coached the structure was non existent, as has become sadly too common the players look lost

[Oli Thomas @OliThomas92]

@LWaunfawr @simonrug No excuse for the ill discipline

[Oli Thomas @OliThomas92]

@davidjusteat We will never be successful again, rugby uptake is on the decline, if more ex pros reveal they have potentially rugby induced neurological conditions why as a parent would you want your kids playing the game

[Oli Thomas @OliThomas92]

@Joneschristoff He was average at best at the ospreys, the WRU went cheap, it will cost us massively on the pitch and financially, buy cheap buy twice

[Oli Thomas @OliThomas92]

@Eddierugbyrugby As a Welsh fan they’ll still put 30 on us so 🤷‍♂️
