    What TV Show's are you watching/looking forward to?

    I've never played the games either and I'm really enjoying Fallout so far, couple of episodes in. Not sure how it's rated as a 15 though with the levels of gore, not that it really bothers me, but my other half doesn't enjoy too much gore and wasn't expecting it given the rating. It seems that...

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    Yeah, great win. Morgan Morris picked up the official PotM award, but for me Deaves was the best player on the pitch. James Ratti was class too, as was Sutton. Worried that bonus point at the end could really come back to bite them, especially with how tight the table is. Annoyibg thing is the...

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    Genuinely appalling officiating. I can accept the Carre knock on decision I suppose if he does touch it - not clear though. But to miss a clear knock on at the lineout from Coony in the lead up to Ulster try is just unforgivable. Double standards to agonise over the Cardiff knock on, but not...

    Smoking

    I see I contributed to this thread way back at the start, 16 years ago! I said back then that I'd recently quit smoking, well at that point I couldn't get rid of the craving for nicotine. Every time I'd go to a pub, or someone smoked around me I'd despirately crave a cig. I ended up smoking...

    EPCR Challenge Cup 23/24

    Ospreys should be very disapointed with that performance, didn't really threaten after Giles' try. So many errors. Poor set piece which is unlike them, although scrum decisions were a bit dodgy. Gloucester kick and chase waa great second half though, pinned Ospreys back in rheir own half and...

    Roundabouts and other driving pet peeves

    I have noticed that some people appear to have whatsapp or a similar messanging app up on their cradled phone whilst driving. That certainly isn't safe!

    Roundabouts and other driving pet peeves

    Whilst I agree with the law as it stands about not using your phone even when stationary in traffic, and I adhere to it (unless I'm in the McDonalds drive through queue and need to get my code). The reason why though isn't some nonsense about being distracted even after putting the phone down...

    Roundabouts and other driving pet peeves

    I'm not sure what the solution is here. Similar to e-scooters, a requirement to register, and insure e-bikes could be introduced, but the sort of people riding recklessly like in the video will just ignore any laws put in place. Police can't really chase these reckless riders either as there's...

    2023-2024 transfers

    Rumours floating around of a huge signing to replace Tomos Williams for next season. Heard it from a few people now, but we'll have to wait and see.

    URC 2023/2024 Round 13

    Squad size is an obvious issue, but both regions have made some decent signings (Sheedy being a prime example). There's a couple of props leaving, which isn't ideal, but both sides already have international alternatives. Maybe it's a little delusional though!

    URC 2023/2024 Round 13

    I'm optimistic about both regions going forward. Both appear to have a good crop of youngsters ready to step up. There could be an argument for Cardiff and Ospreys to be Wales' premier regions, with Dragons and Scarlets becoming more of developmental regions. Could add a third developmental...

    EPCR Challenge Cup 23/24

    Decent side that. Not a huge fan of Luke Morgan tbh, but options out wide are a bit slim atm. Kieran Williams is a better 12, but with North out, needs must probably. Ratti been going well in the row recently, but Rhys Davies is a big loss imo. Lightweight backrow, but full of quality. Having...

    2023-2024 transfers

    Yeah, being part of the shambles that is the Scarlets atm can't help. How many players have gone backwards there in recent years? Wyn Jones can't get in the Welsh squad, Johnny Williams' form has dropped off a cliff, as has Gareth Davies. Coatellow has gone backwards. Steff Evans went from...

    The Biking thread

    100% No need at all to try to pass a cyclist who's also passing a parked car. It's not just the distances involved, drivers should also consider other dangers e.g. what if the door of the parked car was opened forcing the cyclist to react? Could easily have ended up with the cyclist below the...

    Welsh squad under Gatland

    So WoL have put the following side forward for the summer tour to Aus : G.Thomas, Lake, Francis Jenkins, Rowlands Tshiunza, Wainwright, Morgan T.Williams, Anscombe Grady, J.Roberts Dyer, L.Williams, Adams Dee, N.Smith, Assiratti, Beard, Reffell, G.Davies, Costellow, Beetham Link Honestly...

    2023-2024 transfers

    Part of the reason might well be because he feels unwanted by Gatland. Ospreys probably can't afford 2 international looseheads either though. Good luck to him, this may well be just the sort of move that propells him back into international reckogning, only 29, so plenty of years left.

    What TV Show's are you watching/looking forward to?

    I've finally started watching Lord of the Rigs: Rings of Power. I stayed away after not hearing great things, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

    [2024 Six Nations] Wales vs Italy - 16/03/24

    I'm going to name a bunch of players that Gat's could have picked in the 6N squad, but chose not to: Rhys Carre - already menioned that I think he'd have had a better impact than all 3 looseheads Gats selected. Perhaps there's more to it than just weight, but we could really do with all the...

    [2024 Six Nations] Wales vs Italy - 16/03/24

    Doesn't matter, it's about when the contract was signed, Llewellyn is available. Hawkins tried to claim the same, but couldn't prove it. Sheedy is moving to Cardiff to continue his eligibility, not re-start it.
