@TheVietGwent @AllWalesSport That’s the way the seeding works

@Nik_Simon88 @MailSport Who is the NRL centre?

[the oval ball @theovalball1]

@barbedquill big question I have is what happens next? Is the plan to merge the ospreys & blues in which case Welsh rugby is massively unbalanced & unlikely to be sustainable or is the plan to close the ospreys. If so you have pathways & geography to reallocate which creates more uncertainty

@TheVietGwent What is the elephant

@TheVietGwent PTNL??

@newcastle2023 @CamMagicMan I can see much more room for a 9s/10s competition and can see how it would work for the league forwards in particular. As a 15s union comp it strikes me as nothing more than the barbarians in different kit

@Rreesrugby It’s one part of the game I find really frustrating as in certain circumstances it becomes a case of score or get the ball back anyway. I was previously told that advantage is effectively played until the team makes more ground than they could have if they had kicked to touch

@Bobs89770926 @fesshole If no one walks around with a Rolex these days who you going to sell it to?

@QuinnRod Could turn out to be a cricket score

@LeagueScenePod @RNEditss Will take some stopping

@KeithClarke1 I always find these graphics puzzling. Assuming the playing budgets are around €11m then I can’t really understand what the clubs spend another €20m plus of their budget on

[the oval ball @theovalball1]

@TheVietGwent None of the options get a green light on feasibility . The prospect of the least unfeasible option doesn’t fill me with confidence

[the oval ball @theovalball1]

@benjames1796 Wonder who thought up the fans of players argument. Guessing Jonah Lomu in his prime could have fallen into this category but can’t think of many other current athletes across any sports who this would also apply to

[the oval ball @theovalball1]

@CaptSpringbok I wouldn’t read too much into that game. Both sides had an awful 20 minute period . However for the 20 mins SA were awful everything worked for the Aussies . Won’t see a game like that again in a long time

@ospreylian1 I suppose if your role is WRU director of rugby then I can see how reach this poin. In a world dominated by communication I’m amazed how bad the WRU are at it. Amazes me how they think anyone can sell tickets, sponsorship or investment with the lack of info & overall uncertainty

[the oval ball @theovalball1]

@kiwilark @bensmithrugby Innovative and playing to their strengths - yes. Garbage if you’ve paid for a ticket

[the oval ball @theovalball1]

@simonrug https://t.co/jE1ch1wXaV does short highlights packages on each game . Really well done

[the oval ball @theovalball1]

@NRLonNine Which position would he play?

[the oval ball @theovalball1]

@Une_miniature @powderski There is a very similar lift in Val disere
