    Good luck to him. I'm not sure he can do any worse than Sherratt to be honest. The only way is up for Wales at this point, it's just a matter of how much he can raise their game.

    Farrell picked the biggest available pack but they are not coping with the Aussies.

    They want to poach but aren’t chopping to set up the jackal.

    Oz running away with it … Curry just gave up chasing and going for a tackle

    Jac will be on shortly, hope he has a good game. Much closer at half time, should be a good second.

    Great finish. Relief for Jac at the end! Another set of officials or a different game and it's a penalty. Don't think it was myself, the "head contact" was on the back and he wrapped and couldn't be any lower. Plus the disgraceful play acting from the Aussie player made it sweeter.

    Will they go for the 3 - 0 next week or give everyone a game?

    A sad day for Welsh Rugby and in many respects is a failure of governance going back decades.

    In my opinion, the WRU (Worst Rugby Union?) has not been fit for purpose for years: it has failed to manage and grow the national game, in short, it has not had the Management expertise and professionalism required to thrive and create a consistent and viable rugby model.

    Additionally, much of the wider problem stems from the flawed concept of Regional Rugby.

    The WRU has repeatedly cut teams in the hope of improvement, whilst also cutting funding and working against the best interests of the professional teams - something I experienced first hand! (I think I’ve mentioned previously that I was involved in Club rugby for a number of years in the 1990s and then involved in Regional Rugby for 3 seasons in the 2010s - so in the ‘shamateur’ days and in the pro era.)

    In short, if the WRU cannot increase Commercial income significantly, then it follows that there is not enough money to fund four competitive regions.

    South Wales (the heartlands of Welsh rugby) can just about fund two professional football teams, so arguably funding 4 professional teams is too much of an ask.
