Not really yoof, it’s from whacky races, driven by Luke and Blubber Bear.

Agreed, from 24-24 is was plain sailing.
Ah, ok, excuse my ignorance, we didn't have cartoons on Anglesey.
Or running water...
Well as it happens our water came from a spring. Didn't have mains water on the farm until after the drought in 1963 and even then it only came to the gate for the animals. Bloody landlords.

Quietly confident. I wonder if Varney has close emotional ties with Italy or might he regret opting for them so soon.

Hello.

Is there anybody here who DOESN'T think we'll beat France?

It doesn’t seem to be our pattern to lose slam matches.

No reason why we can’t take this game too.

Yeah that's why I'm feeling so overconfident. 4 Grand Slam matches in the 6 nations, all have resulted in emphatic wins.

Thinking about it I dont think Wales have ever won the first 3 games of the tournament and failed to win a grand slam.

As long as someone has the good sense to punch DuPont in the face until he can't see straight, we'll be absolutely fine.

An excellent result for Welsh rugby TBF.


Ospreys dramatically secured Champions Cup qualification for next season as they notched three late tries to stun Leinster 24-19.

Quite a few veterans in the team but it's not necessarily the last 6N for anyone is it? KO, AWJ and JD still ploughing on, form and fitness permitting then.

Not wishing to reopen the wounds that won't have healed but anyway - I've seen Wales lose plenty of matches over the years but I'm pushed to remember one that had such a dramatic late turnaround against us.

That one V South Africa is the only one I can think of. We were 13 points up with 9 minutes to go and Liam gave them a penalty try at the death to give them the win.

I didn't see that one. I know there was the one we lost to France in the 100th minute a few years ago but I don't recall us being as comfortable in that one as we were for most of Saturday's game.

I thought we were in for a hammering after the first 20 or so. It really needed some grit to get some forward ball and just our luck that the first 4 try bonus is a knockout cup game where it doesn't matter.

I was going to ask who’s next in line at full back after Williams and Halfpenny. Sherlock?

Poor Halfpenny, that's a terrible thing to happen any time never mind right at the start of your 100th test.

Canada missing a host of players who opted out of selection, and it's showing after that opening score. I only recognise one name in the Canucks squad.

Usual anti-climax of a second half against a lower tier team.
