"'Systemic failure of leadership’ is the main theme within the WRU as a whole these days. Loads of people in charge and nobody in charge". Nathaniel Hale for Gwladrugby.

Love this. Back when 'the fence' was literally the fence, regardless of how far away it was. I mean, it was wildly dangerous once fielding started being taken seriously and people would throw themselves into concrete walls to save a run, obviously.
How long were the boundaries in the 90s? Here's a wild throwback to Aus vs Aus A (1994/95). Bonus: 19-year-old Ponting, diving like his life depends on it.

Bonanza! But not for everybody. – Gwladrugby.
Quite the thing that the Lions tour has wiped out Rugby Australia's A$60m debt while each of the Lions' constituent countries are in substantial debt, with Wales in such a state that it's running a £10m+ deficit and is likely to close down two of its professional clubs.

I really feel that @scarlets_rugby should be making more of the fact that three of the last four Lions' Players of the Series have been Scarlets.

Aix-en-Provence. A restaurant. Our waitress asked us where we're from. "Pays de Galles"."Ah! You like rugby?"."Oui! George North! Tomas Francis! They play in Aix!"."Non, non, non. You know Kreeees Wyatt?"."One Man Riot? Oui"."He is married to my friend Fanny. He has big hands".
