🚨HARRI DEAVES KLAXON🚨 (Chuffed to bits for Brodie too ❤️) #WALvNZL

This really does capture the feeling on every new bit of WRU news

When you consider this and the fact that the WRU were briefing journalists at the game last week, this clearly isn’t a credible or professional governing body. Good on the Dragons for calling it out because quite frankly someone needs to. WRU are going to kill pro rugby in Wales.

Daf Jenkins’ mates must have ripped the piss out of him, poor bloke. It’s the hope that kills you. #WALvNZL

This is very enjoyable! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ⚽️

Opened The Other Place to share a video and the first thing I see is Nigel Owens emotionally defending Margaret Thatcher

This may or not backfire but I’m glad someone is taking a stand against the Union because asking investors to put in 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 money for 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 control of their business is absolutely bonkers. It’s not right and it’s not viable for any of the regions going forward. www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

Wales are shit and will no doubt get worse before it gets any better but at least when they had their ‘golden generation’ of players they had something to show for it. Scotland on the other hand…

The centre partnership is a problem for Wales. Despite some nice touches, Thomas hasn’t shown enough to suggest he’s a test match 12 and Llewellyn can’t transfer his club form to the international stage. Not sure what the answer is but boy I miss the Jamie Roberts and Jon Fox era 😞

Next up for Wales: A wounded All Blacks and best team in the world, South Africa….

This game is a microcosm of where Welsh rugby is at and it absolutely stinks. #WALvJPN

Here’s hoping Wales win a game of rugby today!

I love that story doing the rounds this week about Harri Deaves turning up to Ospreys training in his van then returning to his day job as a roofer. Comes across as a down-to-earth guy and the kind of person you really want to root for.

Chuffed for Deaves. Great character to have in camp and has been in great form for the Ospreys. Could have gone for Reffell but he wouldn’t be available for the rest of the autumn like Deaves would be.

Wales were well beaten today, no doubt about it, but there were some green shoots to take out of that performance. Both things can be true at the same time. (Mind you, I’m dreading the All Blacks and South Africa games and Japan isn’t a gimme either!)

LET THE STEVE TANDY ERA BEGIN 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Both the Springboks and All Blacks provided a masterclass in how to absorb pressure and not panic when momentum goes against you. The best in the world just know how to get it done. (Having a good bench helps too!)

The red card has been a game changer. For South Africa… #FRAvRSA

Why are they doing a Mexican wave after 29 minutes?! Silly bastards. #FRAvRSA

Italy beating Australia is not a surprise or a shock result. Italy on an upward trajectory under Quesada and the Wallabies are cooked. The schedule this season has ruined them. They look a tired team. #ITAvAUS

There’s impact players and then there’s Damian McKenzie. 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 50:22 and 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 finish for the try. Absolutely outrageous. #SCOvNZL

That was an outstanding test match. Credit to both teams. Even when they look absolutely rattled. no one can soak up pressure quite like the All Blacks can. #SCOvNZL

This is not a good day for Blair Kinghorn. #SCOvNZL

Love this time of the year. Wall-to-wall Rugby 😍

It’s been 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 long for Wales since a competitive home win?!

Games v T2 opposition since the last men's World Cup: England- 1 Wales- 1 France- 1 Ireland- 3 Italy- 3 Scotland- 9 Scotland have played the same number of games v T2 opposition as the rest of the Six Nations put together.

Wales should definitely have scheduled in USA for the autumn series. We could have actually won that one…

Dave Reddin says on The Good,The Bad & The Rugby pod that he was really struck with how tribal Welsh rugby is. C’mon mate, seriously?! It’s up there with RCK’s "We think, going forwards, there are fans of players, with individual supporters following players.” Incredibly naive, the lot of them.

Hearing Dave Reddin referring to the Welsh teams as “franchises” gives me the ick.

Ace Frehley, Kiss lead guitarist and band’s cofounder, dies aged 74

They showed his neck vagina. That’s what he’s really upset about.

Oh fuck off you tedious old bastard.

I’ve never read The Lord of the Rings or seen any of the movies and I have zero interest in doing so. Same with Harry Potter.

Sound advice for every club on the planet: “don’t pull a Dragons.”

I can’t stop watching this. It’s the most Dragons-y thing I ever seen and believe me I’ve seen many Dragons-y things. Paea was having a stormer as well 😭

Once again, her insistence that she *never* makes gaffes makes every gaffe she makes much, much worse than it would otherwise have been… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Peculiar timing. Diamond should have been let go the moment Red Bull came in if they didn’t feel he was the right guy to take them forward. Could also argue he deserved at least a full season under the new owners.

Reform keeps arguing immigration is an issue when it isn’t. There is a by-election right now in Caerphilly and Nigel Farage’s party keeps saying that immigration is an issue there. BUT over 97% percent of people in the area were born in the UK. We need to debate based on facts not scaremongering.

Laura Kuenssberg to Keir Starmer "How much trouble are you in?" "So how much trouble are you in?" "Do you accept you are in political trouble?" "When did you realise you got it wrong?" "People say: we don't have much faith in you" "What if the problem is you?" *Other interview styles are available

Labour backbencher: Any time there is a crack on the wall, Andy Burnham appears to promote himself. Like Japanese knotweed. 🔥

Making sure he eats his greens.

Shut the fuck up and take my money!

It’s the 10th anniversary of 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 famous night at Twickenham and quite frankly I will never, ever get bored watching this wonderful moment.

Fiona Bruce, "I'm asking you, do you think Trump was wrong?" Richard Tice, "Probably, certainly" Fiona Bruce, "Probably or certainly?" Richard Tice, "I'm not a GP, Trump is wrong" Audience member 1, "You're a politician" Audience member 2, "Liar"

Trump threatens to move World Cup games out of blue cities due to "crime"

As I was saying…

Someone asked at the Ospreys WRU consultation evening if the Scarlets new investors were “con men” 😂
