I work with a former Welsh international who told me today than Howley is known within the game to be a big gambler.

I was at a grass roots game last Saturday.It was an East Central Division 3B (sixth tier of the Welsh club game,a derby featuring Treherbert and Wattstown,both clubs being from the Rhondda Valleys. The match finished 8 points all.Despite the low scoreline it was actually a good game,a physical...

Great post Alias.The Pontypridd Facebook page and website have messages of support from fans of clubs like Bristol,Worcester and Cornish Pirates,all of Pontypridd fans have visited in large numbers and in doing so made a very good impression with their passion and humour.All that will be lost if...

Utter nonsense.If you take the Blues as an example a premiership select team from the region would basically be Pontypridd with a few token Cardiff RFC guests.This would entail mostly the same players going from playing in front of large,passionate crowds to performing in front of empty stands...

Could be the British,Irish and Scottish Lions.:D

I think the panel got it just about right.It was a nasty incident that could have resulted in serious injury but Hogg has a good disciplinary record until now and was very apologetic and remorseful so I think 3 weeks is fair.

JD was looking sharp for the Scarlets yesterday.Think he will start the England game with North moving back to the wing.Good news for Wales.

Although Gethin was excellent against France I'd be tempted to start with Paul James as the England front row looks weak without Corbs and Cole.

Keep it with the BBC,overall the coverage is fine.Get rid of Eddie Butler though.Bring in Rory Bremner or Alistair McGowan to commentate in the voice of Bill McLaren.:D

Special thanks to the FFR for having their boys bash lumps out of other last weekend.:D

I presume the op is comparing rugby to football when he talks about lack of atmosphere.Personally I think we have little to learn from a sport where the "atmosphere" tends to consist of obscene songs sang by fans who have to be segregated to stop them killing each other and fixtures can only...

Well done Australia!! Think they deserved to win by more than 4.Don't think Wales bottled it this time,simply beaten by a side who played superbly on the day. On the subject of Barnes,thought he did ok on the whole.Can anyone explain to me though how a passer releases the ball when on a line...

Seems to me most of the English and French concerns have been addressed and rightly so.Should also bring some much needed intensity to the Pro 12 too.From an English point of view any financial gains could end up going to BT instead of the clubs concerned.

I actually think the English and French clubs have legitimate gripes.The English clubs dropped a major bollock in signing the BT deal though.

Saw Billy playing for the Maoris against Cardiff back in the day.I remember him running on the spot on the top of a ruck.lol

Was thinking exactly the same lol Wade Dooley Billy Bush Gerard Cholley Robert Paparemborde Richard Moriarty Bobby Windsor JPR Williams Ian Kirkpatrick

Twenty years ago rugby league was pinching our best players and we were laughing at their scrums.It's a funny old world.

How many Welsh wins this weekend boys? I'd go for one (Ospreys) and not that confident of even that.
