Hi guys decided to drop in and say hello, the Under 20's championship has been good. How are you all?

No idea FH, time flies, European rugby to enjoy this weekend, with some guests from South Africa also calling in.

Great to hear that you're still turning out for a game occasionally, Aled!

Where does the time go?

I suspect England were just too slow off the mark. Again.

As was the case with Andy Farrell and Shaun Edwards.

I think Wales got it right. They seem to have a plan.

Whereas the English RFU have acted either too late (there's a strong case for saying Jones should've gone after the 2021 6N) or too late, with no specific plan, or coach in line, to get things right before the RWC. Typical.

So with less than a year to the RWC, Gatland's back for Wales and it looks like Eddie Jones is on his way out for England. To be fair, both teams have had a pretty poor year. England in the autumn internationals were terrible. Except for the last 10 minutes against NZ and the game against a Japan team that looked poor themselves.

Interesting times.

Another character of the game gone RIP Eddie Butler, a bit of a dark horse our man Eddie, public school educated, plus Oxbridge, yet he captained working class team Pontypool and Wales and was a staunch supporter of Welsh Independence!

RIP Eddie, one of the very best!

Meanwhile...In proper rugby, Salford's collection of cast offs and little hopers have defied the odds and exceeded most people's expectations by reaching the play off semi finals. Sadly, they'll have to face St Helen's without Brodie Croft who has been magnificent. Many hangovers expected if we manage to pull of an unexpected victory. UTFR!

RIP Eddie Butler, Welsh rugby and broadcasting legend. At 65, far too young.

The 6 Nations on TV will never be the same again.

Certainly has been an interesting couple of months.

NZ's loss of form makes the RWC look very open. It would've been interesting to see France on a more challenging tour this summer than the one in Japan, but after the last 6N, and with a home World Cup to come, they currently look like a good bet. But there's 12 months or more to go yet, and anything could happen

Would have got long odds on a clean sweep for the British and Irish teams against the SH this weekend. That was some day of rugby!
