@PhilRugby Was the name not abbreviated by everyone in the sport to the blues? Or is it only you who is touchy about that?

@4forfalls Well you’ve now changed the wording so, by your own metric, you were either wrong then or now. As you know, but you’re just in one of your moods because you think you’ve been slighted

Pray for Robins

@hywelpeterson @PhilRugby Unfortunately, some don’t see the need to recognise the work done by the masses rather than the few.

@4forfalls @PhilRugby Alex is a product of Aberdare RFC & Cardiff academy - you’re right reference Aberdare as it demonstrates the strong work done on the “pathway” - this will be more important if “pathway” areas increase through a reduction in clubs

@PhilRugby Was the club he joined in 2016 not called Cardiff blues? Am I mistaken?

@4forfalls Blues? Dear Christ. p.s. I've already given you the answer. Your villagism is astounding.

@PhilRugby Well why wouldn’t he just wear Blues ones as that was his club then?

@4forfalls p.s. I love how you hang on to the sock thing as though it is important and it matters. Kids moving schools and hobby clubs must really confuse you.

@PhilRugby So you’re happy to write off his first 12+ years of rugby to one sound bite. Where he learnt to step, pass and tackle. That’s a rather eliteist dismissing everyone else’s work, as I said, for one sound bite Any idea what socks he wears then?

@4forfalls That's rather villagist of you. And, as you know, Cardiff doesn't operate its own age grade teams for good reason.

@PhilRugby Because I would suggest home is where the heart is. One quick sound bite does not give the whole picture.

@4forfalls Why?

@LeeJarvis10 Hope you’re turning up with flowers and chocolates for her

Mrs is away this weekend so i asked my mother can she make me + boys a Dinner 🍽 She sent me this 👌 Menu for Sunday Prawn Cocktail Roast Beef Horseradish + Veg Chocolate Fudge Cake + Ice-Cream My old man has been sent to the shop to get all of the above and he's over the 🌙🤣

Probably an unpopular opinion in rugby union. In junior rugby, from say 14/15 down, 2 consecutive knock ons, 1 by each team, should just be play on and cancel out the initial advantage Keep the game flowing.

@ChalynRugby If NZ moved their season to mat the Northern hemisphere season they could bring a full team…

All blacks vs France at Christchurch has been sold out in 4 hours. Now it’s up to France to bring their A team and put up a show. Rugby is dead btw #Allblacks #France #Rugby

@SuperRygbiCymru @simonrug @evrfc How can there be 5 draws? 👀

1⃣4⃣ rounds of #SRC now completed - @evrfc have a commanding lead at the 🔝 of the points table 💥

@TheRealPanicFC @willgkelleher @BathRugby @TimesSport So is his politics.

@willgkelleher @BathRugby @TimesSport I always love stories where a guy grows up a fan of a club and ends up as the owner. Negative - those hand dryers are awful.

Breaking: @BathRugby owner Bruce Craig has sold 50% of the club to Sir James Dyson, whose family wealth hit £21bn last year. More @TimesSport soon on: 🛁 Bath's settled debt & stadium £ 🛁 Dyson's plan to pass the club to his kids 🛁 But doesn't want The Rec named after him

@jarradvanagas @rippercbh Could that have been when they go to SA for 2 games and train all week? Understandable there tbf

@rippercbh Sure i read somewhere the ospreys had 8 travelling reserves for one game and wouldnt release them to any club which is nuts

Can’t get my head around Amatuer rugby taking TR Travelling sub. Sometimes even 2 players. Stopping them playing else where.

@jonatha48246231 @andygoosemoore Following 4, 2 followers and 2 posts. Sorry Jon, have you been boots on the ground and been a part of youth rugby? From what point are you commenting? Or are you just talking from what you’ve read?

@andygoosemoore Apologies if this point has already been made. But changing the rules around youth rugby by reducing the age limit from 19 to 18 is contributory. Some boys may be mature enough to graduate to senior rugby at 18, but most are not. Maybe a new age group of 18 to 20 may help.

16–20: The Missing Link in Welsh Rugby Welsh rugby isn’t short of talent. It’s short of structure between 16 and 20. In my latest piece, I’ve moved from identifying the problems to outlining a practical framework to widen the base and strengthen the pathway. If we’re serious about the future, this is where the work sits. Read it here: andymoore55.substack.com/p/1620-the-mis… I’m genuinely interested in views from coaches, players and administrators. open.substack.com/pub/andymoore5…

@stephenjones9 Sorry Stephen, have you been boots on the ground and been a part of youth rugby? From what point are you commenting? Or are you just talking from what you’ve read?

this is so true. the age group change was huge drawback in England too

@andygoosemoore Why did this happen? Because Italy have taken the junior player development seriously over the last 20y.

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE Italy 23 England 18 Rome witnessed something special. The Italian players looked like gladiators in the Colosseum. They kept fighting. They kept playing. The statistics tell the story. Italy 156 passes 22 kicks from hand England 96 passes 34 kicks from hand Italy trusted the ball in hand. They moved it, attacked space and kept asking questions. England got ahead and tried to close the game down. But in Rome, the brave are rewarded. The Italian gladiators stayed on the front foot and wrote a piece of rugby history. Now the question. Can Wales stop the Roman chariot after Italy have already stopped England’s sweet chariot?

@Lockdownlover6 @jones_mog Do you believe we aren’t, and if not where?

@jones_mog Are we though?

Hugely encouraging performance from Wales against Ireland Yes another loss but another step in the right direction following Scotland match Tandy is laying solid foundations built on defence For the time in a long time there is hope for the future with this team Still a long way to go but we are moving forward

@MagpieScarlet You need to start fact checking the stuff you re post. I’m not saying he isn’t a racist, however, just because it’s on the internet, doesn’t mean it’s real.
