The Top Two Inches

@sackeylad @Sonjamclaughlan Personally don’t understand the outrage at Spencer’s red. It’s absolutely clear cut. Murphy’s comments are irresponsible and one can only hope the heat of the moment was to blame. If you’re tall, you’ll have to learn to bend your knees, cos dems the rules now. And rightly so.

@Sonjamclaughlan @TheT2I thoughts?

Random question if Will Spencer’s tackle was a red 🤷🏻‍♂️ what’s the difference with this ? Still contact to head !? Thoughts @davidflatman @ugomonye @AndyGoode10 @jimhamilton4

@thepaulwilliams Can’t actually fathom the decision. Os are far from packed with back 3 depth (especially with Ben John’s sabbatical), so if this is a move just to allow more money for North (who will be absent for large parts of the next 2 seasons), then it’s a real head-scratcher

Can anyone name me a club for whom Jeff Hassler wouldn't be a solid addition?

@CardiffRugbyWeb Think that’s a spot on team selection. Really nice blend of grunt and creativity. Evans was absolute magic on Saturday, so seeing him and GA together in a 10/15 tandem would be very exciting!

The biggest game of the season combined with the toughest team selection of the season for Danny Wilson. A good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless: cardiffbluesblog.com/2018/03/27/the…

@joshgardner Tremendous. Though I'm surprised you didn't go with something more along these lines

Broken record, but this has been trash by Wales. Biggar so deep, Williams not a 13, back 3 not busy enough, too passive in defence, too lateral in attack. We may finish 2nd, but no one will care and no one will be fooled by it either.

The greatest midfielder in Premier League history is ______________

Wales team I'd like to see for the France match: R. Evans, Owens, Francis, B. Davies, AWJ, Shingler, Tips, Taulupe; A. Davies, Patchell, S. Evans, Parkes, Watkin, North, Halfpenny Dee, Smith, Lee, Hill, Navidi; G.Davies, Biggar, Williams

@sackeylad Certainly not. But what I love is how we’ve kicked on and learned from both that day and the Arg RWC 1/4 final. If we can finish the job next week Schimdt’s 5 year tenure will make for quite some reading. Heady days for us.

@TheT2I question for the Irish guy. Just watched ire v nz nov 2013 again (the best test match ever imo). Has Chicago completely erased that memory..?

That was crap. Wales with no clear game plan, and showing no control of proceedings. Sort of exactly how they’ve got on for the last few years. Roll on November 2019

Wales since 2013 youtu.be/QJHUbtR0yI8

Shame we’re not in the hunt for the championship anymore, but I love the look of that @WelshRugbyUnion side. Should have plenty of tries in it. Go well, @cubbyboi!

@simonrug @RBKingsbury @OwainJTJones @PRO14Official Ah my mistake - must have misread

@simonrug @RBKingsbury @OwainJTJones @PRO14Official I do hope that, too. Though as the Scarlets have proved this season, success a bigger factor in getting people through the gates than a lack of televised union.

@simonrug @RBKingsbury @OwainJTJones @PRO14Official And what of those not in a position to go to games? E.g. the many Celts based in England who now need to buy yet another subscription or stop watching No idea of BT’s offer, but with them fast-becoming the home of TV rugby, surely that’d have been the place to build the fanbase

@OwainJTJones Premier Sports won’t hang around long once they realise that no one is buying though. And it could ultimately put the Pro14 in a weaker long-term position for selling viewing rights. Add that to losing many existing/potential new fans and this seems a very short-sighted deal.

All well and good Pro14 aiming to get the best deal they can, but where does it leave fans? Many will already pay for Sky and BT, but at least they provide many other desired options. Now a 3rd?! More money in Pro14’s pockets for now, but watch viewing numbers drop. Rapidly. twitter.com/walesrugby/sta…

SuperSport’s presenter and pundits all wear matching suits is creepy af Big Nick Mallett dropping knowledge though

You’re drunk @UlsterRugby, go home.
