booked a taxi with Dragon Taxis in Cardiff, first greeting from the driver was;
“Noswaith dda, sut wyt ti?”
this has never happened to me before
thanks to Mustafa for an uplifting conversation about moving to Cardiff from Somaliland, learning and enjoying the Welsh language
Sat next door to Thomas Youngs’ mother on flight from Cardiff to Rome, bursting with pride, excitement, carrying their luggage in Thomas’ Wales Under 16s bag, magnitude of the achievement brought home when guy behind said he had transferred Thomas into his Fantasy 6 Nations team
Nice touch at half time;

Earthquake and a huge tornado, and they get a game of rugby on, I`m not sure if any other country could do that

People sat at home, typing away on social media mad at World Rugby for cancelling games, after rules and regulations published way in advance
Just look at the video below and re think if a game of rugby is more important than safety

Leigh Halfpenny in the coaches box tonight during the game; Emyr Phillips told me post match “he’s been helping out this week with the kickers & backs and you can see when Leigh speaks the boys take it all in, if they learn one thing from Leigh it’s something that they’ve learnt”

Nothing short of extraordinary
Quite shocked with some of the Munster fans’ reaction towards Owen Farrell throughout the game, first penalty of the game, a clear shout of “f&&& you you c&&&” as he went to kick was audible,it got worse throughout the game, very much appalled if this is a trend coming into rugby

Astonishing to read negativity regarding

on here post match, those doom and gloomers know everything but one defeat does not define what they have done over a few seasons, plenty of positives, they have played some unbelievable and mesmerising rugby this season
Brilliant to catch up with Les Williams

This is Les’ 259th time watching Wales home and away
First Welsh game Les saw was Wales v New Zealand 1967

Once again, one or two mistakes and elements of Twateratti on Gareth Anscombes’ back. Thought rugby was a 23 man game but the abuse he gets it’s just appalling.
To witness the joy on Lochies face when

Well there’s a first, filing a live match report over the phone and a random guy comes up and pulls out a knife, thankfully that evasive training technique of walking onto a main road saw to the coward running away into the night

So let me get this straight, a teacher who is caught with cocaine can’t ever teach again, but a journalist who has admitted using cocaine several times can run for Prime Minister? Is that correct

I really do fear for the workload of the four Welsh Police forces after today;
