Grassroots in Wales is the System.
Welsh rugby isn't broken. It’s ignoring the people who built it.
Grassroots isn’t the problem. It’s the answer.

Sorry Andy but can’t agree with you here.
You don’t become a Grand Slam winner and a test Lion unless you have something about you.
Might not be playing his best at the moment for Wales - but ‘hopeless lummox’ is extremely harsh imho.
Andy Howell@andyhowellsport
Needs to be more disciplined but extremely athletic. I would have started him at lock instead of the hopeless lummox Beard

@LeftieNeil @LWaunfawr At risk of being argumentative, I think you’re wrong with the IRE model as well.
What we can’t do is follow the SCO model - their 2 Pro teams are not leading to success at an International level.

@Pasc76 @LWaunfawr I was wrong on NZ, but Ireland & Scotland very similar.

Getting serious no changes to the match day squad vibes 😬

Wales assistant coach Matt Sherratt says the squad know the performance in the 48-7 Six Nations opening defeat by England was 'not acceptable' 🏉 #BBCRugby

@LeftieNeil @LWaunfawr I get the comparison with SCO (2/3 teams), but can you explain how the WRU optimal model compares with NZ/IRU?
English

@LWaunfawr I’m just meh about selection
Let alone the game…
What’s fascinating is the model the WRU pursuing is NZ/IRE/SCO
All in decline
IRE & especially SCO have dark days ahead… very dark for 🏴
And all this chaos is to replicate that… 🤷🏽♂️

A very worthwhile read.
Sadness is my overriding emotion when I stop to think about the game I love.
I can only hope brighter days are yet to come.

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?" The Vandalism of Our Heritage: A Fifty-Year Lament for Welsh Rugby gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2026/02/04/the…

@LeeLewis130444 @stephenjones9 Think you have a bit of a mare with this one.
Not your finest hour. Jeez.
English

@stephenjones9 Yeah...what Welsh rugby needs is zero representation from the valleys. Thats got us far the last 25 years. Jeez.

@matthewevansnpt It’s not scaremongering!
I’m not convinced we need more Senedd members. I’d also question the No. of politicians we have at local level.
The doctor/nurses debate is interesting/complex. Isn’t it an accepted fact that Brexit impacted the No. of trained medical staff in the UK.
English

@Pasc76 Scaremongering Chris we didn't when we ran the NHS in England did we ? Sadly better outcomes in England. Meanwhile in Wales Labour are more interested in having more politicians rather than doctors and nurses.
English

@matthewevansnpt Oh come on Matthew, everyone knows the Tories are desperate to privatise the NHS.
English

@Pasc76 What gives you that idea ? Think how much money could have been saved by not duplicating services.

@LWaunfawr @JNPhillips4 Last few games I’ve noticed that - it’s great!!
A mate has bought tickets for all the remaining home games, and up until 3/4 weeks ago he’d only been to 2 games in 4 years!
Love to see the crowd growing 😍
English

@Pasc76 @JNPhillips4 Did you notice lots of new faces? I did.
English

@LWaunfawr @JNPhillips4 Funnily enough, I was 30ish minutes early and was pleasantly surprised at the numbers already in the stand!
Might have to get a name plate for my favourite spot though! 😂
English

@JNPhillips4 I was thinking the same last night. I turned up early (as normal) and there were punters already in our favourite spot. By kick off we were completely surrounded. All of them supporting the Dragons.

@LWaunfawr He’s out of contract this year - maybe play out his career back at RP?
English

@JackoRugby He’s still up there with the best when he plays. But these injuries are taking its toll and maybe it’s his body saying that’s enough 🤷♂️
English

@LWaunfawr @honeymoon250 No. 7 is questionable for me, but all the others are a ‘Yes’.
