    "Fiji received the news Radradra's yellow card was updated to a 20-minute red card after a bunker review, the first time Wales have been involved in this World Rugby trial process."

    WTF?

    20 years of underinvestment in the game by the WRU, exacerbated by the negative approach to the Regions by Lewis and Phillips - which I experienced first hand from Phillips - has brought us to this.

    So sad. Feel for the lads getting that record. Wales were in touch until the Aus Red card, lucky it was only 20 minutes <yikes>

    Why the hell were the games lined up not against "lower" ranked teams which would have actually helped the team? Not a crowd draw perhaps? <whistle>

    its nothing but a money making exercise for the WRU...the Welsh team has not been that strong for at least the last 12 months and it would have made more sense to play weaker teams to build up confidence but then the crowds at the stadium would have been very poor....money...money ...money

    Great trio. Glen was a terrific player and a great passer of the ball as was Martin. No need to say anything about Brian! All of these were Neath through and through

    Anyone looking forward to Friday's Six Nations opener? :emoticon-0107-sweat

    This is the first time I have ever dreaded this competition starting! I always looked forward to it with great anticipation. It's getting the same with the Swans!! Give me some hope <wah>

    Hope you want - I don’t think that the French will score more than 60 points <whistle> :grin:

    I think if we stay within 20 points we will have done well. A 15 point gap will be a shock.

    I'm not sure I'll watch it or maybe just hide behind the sofa.

    28-0 at half time.

    It appears that the team hasn’t been coached at all

    The French are quicker, stronger and superior in virtually every respect

    Despite these, the ref and TMO should hang their heads in shame: including the third try which looked 2 or 3 yards toward ….
