This is a magnificent must-read by GwladRugby's Dan.
"But today, looking at the wreckage of Welsh rugby, I find myself asking a question again and again: Is this still my game?"

Looking at the likely Wales team to face England, the biggest debate is over the wings, the flankers and No 13.
My guess would be Rogers and Adams on the wing.
Flankers, maybe Mann and Macleod - or does Cracknell figure?
Then Eddie James or Watkin at 13.
Canโt have no regional rugby in an area which has produced so many great players from Bridgend Maesteg Aberavon Neath and Swansea. Havenโt we learnt our lesson from alienating Pontypridd. We need to embrace everyone.
The Mrs has just made the boy a Chicken Ceaser Wrap for lunch in school amongst other things. Bit of a difference from my choice of filling in my sandwich during my school days.
@LeeJarvis10 Very sad to see , i bet most of the ones sold are corporate as well , WRU has ruined our national sport . Football slowly taking over as well ,
Apparently there are 72000 unsold tickets over the 3 games for Wales 6 nations at home ๐ Im guessing about 50k of that would be the Italian game. The support is walking away, which in my lifetime i never thought I would witness. Some at the TOP need to walk along with it.
The Carvery, sent some people close to the edge ๐ This, im guessing will send some over the edge. Always MILK before the hot water when making the perfect cup of Tea ๐ต Yes Or No ?

Where were you watching the game when Jenks kicked that winning kick ?
What a day ๐
The WRU public engagement survey ๐คฃ
Thoughts ?
Strong leaders make huge decisions without asking the public.
We have leaders who have to ask the public, and that's the problem. ๐ช
In saying that, Dai, the plumber from Ystrad most probably knows more than those leaders.
@LeeJarvis10 Spot on Jarv , clubs and players were loved and appreciated by so many , still got my Gibbs grog , some things you just donโtchange if its mot broke imo
The good old days ๐ช
Proper club rugby ๐
Loved + Supported by so many ๐
I hope that one day we get back to this ๐ Maybe not in my lifetime but for the future generations because them club days were the best ever imo โค๏ธ
Maybe one day, instead of this mayhem ๐ช
@LeeJarvis10 This is what happens when you bring people in to make decisions who have no identity with the game here , Moffett initially and now this Middle class mob from England
The birth of the regions 22 years ago, all the top flight clubs in Wales lost their identity overnight ๐ช
22 years later, if it does go down to two, then the regions will also lose their identity overnight
22 years time from now, someone's identity will go again, no doubt

I've set my alarm to wake up and watch Wales v Japan in the morning while on holidays ๐ฌ๐ท
Desperation (Rugby) = is a state of hopelessness leading to reckless actions or a willingness to take extreme risks to change a bad situation.
