World cup planning innit. 🙄

George N retiring from international rugby. Italy will be his last game for Wales.

Given his repeated concussions not so long ago, he's managed to extend his international career beyond what many people expected. I hope he has no long lasting effects from them.

No, he wasn’t injured.
Surprised I had to read on here that he is retiring from International rugby. I would have thought somebody in the family would have let me know.
Given the move and what’s happened in Welsh rugby, it makes sense. Becky and the boys come first.

France vs England U20s was a cracking game, well worth a watch

It certainly was a high scoring game.
Wales U20 were 15-0 down at HT. They then scored 27 unanswered points in the second half.
Decided not to go to the match tomorrow even though most of the family are.
Too many tears from too many grown men!😆

England were 21-5 down at about 30 minutes. They were struggling in the scrum (another huge pack including the youngest Tuilagi which has been capped this 6N), but just hung in and somehow found a way and a will to win it.
The French teah had 240 Top 14 matches under their belts vs 24 for the English too.

Just got back from a run. The only thing likely to prevent an Italian win is them turning into France and being over cocky.
Scrum is a joke for Wales and we’ve just gifted them one in our 22 from a simple catch. Adams continues to look out of sorts.

nearly half time and Wales have spent 11 seconds in the Italian 22. North looks keen to go out with a win, no-one else seems to give a shit.

Italian defence is very good though to be fair. Might watch MSR instead!

Really poor quality half of rugby. Neither side able to hold the ball for more than about 2 phases.
Back to MSR

Awful.
Truly awful.

Wales may as well go to the bar for the commiseration drinks right now.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Wish I’d entered the Ajax 10 now.

I think it’s fair to say that little bounce we had when Gatland returned is over. At least the end of MSR kept me occupied

Gatland will be following George out the door next week.
It would take Jesus to work a miracle to turn this group of players into winners.

Not sure why they are even reviewing that. Complete accident

Not sure how they did a proper HIA though.

That almost looked like rugby for a few seconds. Why wasn’t Grady starting?

What a try saving tackle from Italian 20

Got there in the end

Nah, Howley’s not rehabilitated yet.

Not sure what anyone can do within the current structure to be honest. We ought to be looking to get as many Welsh players as possible playing in France or The English prem (even the Championship would be a step up probably). They’ve over-performed for the last 10 years and now the paper is falling off the cracks.

Shame for George North to end his career like that.
Still he gets a wooden spoon!

What a Shiite way to leave the Cardiff pitch for the final time.
Wales salvage a semi respectable score from an abject performance

Did not see that coming!

I agree with all of that.

But for the ball falling off the tee and the ref not noticing the French encroaching, Italy would have 3 wins, instead of 2 wins and a draw.
Wales need to ditch the 30 cap rule.
