Why have we got two assistant referees and a TMO from South Africa, when we're playing a South African team in South Africa. It's just shoddy really. Pure incompetence.

@JamesRees8 Yeah totally get that. I can’t speak for them as it’s not something that I ever said or thought about, but I’d imagine given the intense anger at various points in this process there were probably some knee-jerk things said.

@FredDJournalism fully understand that just feel some people were speaking out a lot at the start and saying things like they won’t renew as soon as they announce the 150 is happening they’re silent and renewing

genuine question there’s so much vitriol to wru/ownership (from what I see) but people seem to be flocking to renew?

Great squad. No real surprises given the training squad a few weeks back, but I’m still confused at Courtney Greenway’s omission. Especially with injury in the back three and only two fly halves, both of which positions she can cover.

Just got round to having a better look at Rob Regan’s plan. I’m afraid I’ve reached the same conclusion as many. If we’re looking for a way to keep four, that ain’t it. Filled with holes and omissions, and the proposed funding levels are concerningly low.

@MikeJoseph6194 @LeeJarvis10 What ‘disaster’ has she overseen Mike? I’d love to know what decisions you think have been bad during her tenure.

@LeeJarvis10 Scarier still is that Belinda Moore, who oversaw the disaster, is hanging around to appoint her successor.

So after a very poor Six Nations last year and a poor World Cup for the Wales Women Rugby team Sean Lynn had brought in NEW coaches to replace the coaches that he has sacked. Surely the buck stops with him ? He has a BIG budget and HE needs to deliver sharpish imo. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏉

@LeeJarvis10 The back room team has been a skeleton group for years and years. It desperately needed reinforcements, and these appointments are necessary to get better results. Things will take time to bed in. I think calling his budget ‘big’ is a little wide of the mark too.

Good to see further appointments being made for Wales ahead of the Women's Six Nations, and quality ones at that. It concerns me that all of them are 'interim' though. We've known about the need to bolster that coaching setup for years. Why haven't we found permanent people yet?

Based on Six Nations form Rhys Carré walks into that side. Obviously everyone will remember the try, but he was absolutely brilliant everywhere else as well.

@danielgallan He’s a bloody good Saffa mind.

'Certainty on the way forward' latest...

@RugbyInGwent @DragonsLairPod Hmmm. Not convinced on the mindset there, but then again it’s not my team! More realistic? Yes. But looking at fixture lists you could easily win the Lions game and still come behind them, just as you could easily lose it and still come ahead of them.

@FredDJournalism @DragonsLairPod Would rather finish above the Turks. That’s more realistic than a Challenge Cup run. League is the bread and butter.

Filo Tiatia has a decision to make now. Does he get Aaron Wainwright and Ben Carter on a plane to SA to face the Lions or does he save them for the last-16 Challenge Cup tie against Stade Français?

@DragonsLairPod Surely a better chance at a Challenge Cup run trumps that any day?

@FredDJournalism It’s not really about making the playoffs. Target is to not finish bottom Welsh region again.

Uppa Rags!

Clear Brython dominance at the scrum. Rewarded by the Irish referee who’s officiating a semi-final involving an Irish team? Of course not. Completely unserious league.

Given that there are no Scottish teams involved in the knockouts, surely a team of Scottish officials would be the best way to go?

Gutted for Gwalia Lightning. Also a little bit of a mockery that a semi-final involving an Irish team features an all-Irish set of officials. If the Celtic Challenge itself wants to be taken seriously as a league then this needs to be sorted. #CelticChallenge
