Dreadful news for this young man, his family, friends, and fanbase. I think most people find it inconceivable that their sporting heroes are as fallible as the rest of us. Yet more proof of god's ****ty work. If more proof were needed.

Former Wales wing Ieuan Evans has been appointed chair of The British & Irish Lions board. Evans, who scored 33 tries in 72 appearances for Wales, will succeed ex-England prop Jason Leonard in October.

"Having toured with the Lions at the peak of my international career, it's an honour to be appointed chair," he said. "Lions tours are unique in the world of sport, both in terms of the ultimate challenge they represent and the cultural impact they have, and form an integral part of the rugby ecosystem." British & Irish Lions' Managing Director Ben Calveley said: "Given Ieuan's experience both as a player and in his equally successful professional career, I've no doubt he will lead the board in our mission to deliver rugby with purpose to players, fans, the game and communities we visit."
Are we seeing the decline of the invincible ABs into "just" another of the better teams? Maybe less by the sound of that article.
I suspect that if any rugby Nation will turn it around, it will be the ABs Could be Wales’ best chance in a while to beat them this Autumn - but then again, they will probably have a ‘New Coach Bounce’ and put 30 points on us ….
