    Can’t say I’m wildly excited by the Lions tour, but hats off to Japan for extending Wales’ losing streak to 18……sorry @Taffvalerowdy

    Yes Wales lost in Japan - down to 14th in the World rankings.

    I got up early to watch the match ….

    Always likely to lose with so many players away with the Lions ….. <whistle>

    Sherrat’s ‘biased’ squad selection and Cardiff centric coaching team are a joke.

    The CEO Abi Tierney has enabled this - she should resign, but won’t …..

    Thought it was one of the best performances of the last couple of years. Great 13 and 14 man defence first half, then slick handling in attack second half

    I would like to congratulate Wales on winning a game of rugby after 18 consecutive losses.

    Well done.

    We did our best to repeat last week’s defeat by letting them come back to 24-22, but there were more Ospreys on the park this week and the boys not only held out but scored a decisive try.

    That said, I don’t see us winning a game in the next Six Nations unless we sign up a top international coach and he can attract Wales qualified players (well anyone who has eaten a Leek should be sufficient to be Wales qualified :grin:) <cheers>

    Brilliant win for England in Argentina 22-17

    2-0 series win

    3 English Fly-Halves in Australia with the Lions, yet arguably the best of the lot is in Argentina.

    George Ford - great player
