Re: The Official Rygbi Cymru Thread
Not just the place kicking, there were notable times we turned over ball in the last 10 and he couldn't get more than 40m on an infield kick, I'd expect any 10 to get the ball over the chasing back defence. I think we would've won by far more hard Jarrod played Fair point I think the fact that it w...

Re: The Official Rygbi Cymru Thread
Happy with the pack, although of course disappointed not to have Navidi in there....assuming that change is enforced (if not then WTF). Just have to hope the pack do the job up front because that backline doesn't look like it's going to tear it up. Navidi is injured apparently. Interesting that Piv...

Re: The Official Rygbi Cymru Thread
As rumoured. I'm not loving Lydiate back - but I hope, considering the criticism he's been taking from Ireland that he has an absolute blinder. At least he has been picked on form. I don’t like not seeing Jarrod in the 23. I like Sheedy but he’s too similar to Biggar to come on and change the game ...

So Griffiths international career is over What about Ollie Griffiths? Pivac: "We’re not looking at someone for a one-off game. It’s about the future and 2023 game. "So giving James Botham and Shane Lewis-Hughes this game is more important." At least until Pivac fucks off next year...

Re: The Official Rygbi Cymru Thread
I think Theflier is right though - It would be a bad look to sack Pivac & appoint his replacement - having just issued that loan & pay-cuts elsewhere Pivac will be binned after the next 6N / next June (whichever comes first). There'll be more coaches available then to replace him as well. In...

Sweet freakin' Jesus this sounds like Waldron /Neath years. Clear the lot out and start again we've just bargained all our players down to 75% of their salary, and then slung £5m of debt at each region, effectively handing out that salary reduction for a few years on top. can't imagine paying off t...

Re: Le Tour
The importance of the TT in the Tour, and all Grant Tours really, has dropped way off in the past 10 years or so. There was only 17km of ITT in 2015, I think? Compared to 1987 when there was about 200km combined of 1 prologue, a TTT, 2 flat TTs and a mountain TT up Mont Ventoux. In the post-war yea...
