I wouldn’t worry at all. Wales are a team in transition and the best they can hope for is a healthy dose of experience which they need to take on board and learn from. There’s a good side in the making there I reckon. |  |

They may be in transition but that does not mean these players will ever be good enough to turn Wales into a force on the world stage and if they do gel and become a good team then by all means spout your jargon but until they do just stop this silly speculation, what you keep coming out about the Swans is bad enough and of course always wrong. |  | |  |

Who would have thought Ireland would take so well to the Pro game and would be up there with the best. How many time have they beaten SH teams now especially New Zealand who we seem to go weak at the knees to. Admittedly their World Cup records not great but that will improve. Their structure, domestic game and crowds are years ahead of ours. Wales by 3 |  | |  |

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

They should scrap the cap regulation and simply pick our best players wherever they play. Wales is poor and money is bigger everywhere else . Ireland pyss me off big time If we thought England were arrogant ,these feckers take it to a another level They’re very good though |  |

Its absolutely bonkers Buithy, this Welsh Squad will get better the more they play at this level, the two centres who played for the U20's on Friday look like a decent paring with good futures ahead of them. The blame for the lack of talent coming through lies firmly at WRU's door, they've had a completer lack of foresight for over 20 years or more even. [Post edited 25 Feb 2024 13:53]

Gatland tells us the real state of Wales rugby 👍 ... "Warren Gatland says that Welsh rugby currently feels like 'plugging holes in a sinking ship' as he admitted he wasn't convinced there would be a 'proper reset' for the regions." https://www.msn.com/en-gb/spor |  |

He's right as well. On their first try, I can't see how both the Ref and the TMO could give it, from the views I've seen there's an arm under the ball and ball not grounded. |  |

| Ireland v Wales 6 Nations on 16:55 - Feb 25 with 738 views | Togg | Fair play Italy. They were robbed! Best I ve seen them in the second half. Their Under 20s beat France Friday also. Important for the game to have a competitive Italian team. France imploding ...it's unfortunate part of their psyche. Wales could give them game. Two difficult fixtures coming up. |  | |  |

Ireland were too strong and streetwise for us yesterday, but the Italian ref was diabolical, especially in the first half. He gave pens against us for offside, being on the wrong side etc (all correct) but then you could hear - "Ireland get back, you're offside, Ireland, you're on the wrong side, Ireland, hands off the ball" - no pens , just warnings!! Plus, Ireland were clearing out in front of the rucks, sealing off constantly, while the lineout catcher was often protected by the lifter. When Wales did exactly the same thing we were penalised!! Andrew Porter was rarely legal in the scrums, driving across rather than straight on, but this was ignored by Piardi. Well done to Wales captain Dafydd Jenkins, asking Piardi - whether he was going to referee both sides the same. 😂 |  |

The best sides in Rugby will always be the most street wise. You could argue with Ireland's success rate against SH teams over the years especially New Zealand maybe they've learned how to bend the rules....the All Blacks were always the masters of dark arts. |  | |  |
| Ireland v Wales 6 Nations on 19:11 - Feb 25 with 682 views | Togg | Rumour has it that Sean Edwards and the coaching French team are not seeing eye to eye. Should we push the boat out and get him to return to the Welsh fold. I think he would rather coach the Welsh defensive line than the English Nigels but who knows? Apologies for any Nigels on here. ;) |  | |  |

First time I've seen a penalty given for a crooked feed at scrum time in I don't know how long too. |  |
