Taulupe Faletau has been getting Wales out of tight corners for the last 12 years, none tighter than in the third minute of stoppage time. The bonus point win can’t obscure the fact that Portugal made Wales look second rate.

Contrast and compare the treatment of two celtic tens. Finn Russell has two shockers for Scotland, they stand by him and he rewards them in sensational fashion: MoM v England. Rhys Patchell has one stormer followed by a sub-par effort at HQ and Wales drum him out of the squad.

A victory for Wales borne of sheer passion and pride. After last week’s pasting that took some doing. High praise all round.

There are many wonderful people in this world but few with the indomitable spirit of @Rob7Burrow and just as few with the phenomenal compassion of the towering Kevin Sinfield.

Wales turning out for a home Test in anything other than their traditional red always seems to demean the occasion. All the more so when it is dictated not by a colour clash but by commercial reasons, like flogging the latest in a long line of forgettable change strips.

Financial doping, Bloodgate, betting, dwarf-tossers, World Rugby member forced out over accusations of 'rampant homophobia.' And in what other sport does the vice-president of a national union shoot one of his own players? Rugby surrendered the moral high ground long ago.

How does Duhan van der Merwe keep his place yet Anthony Watson loses his? At least Gatland has made a belated admission that he got it wrong in omitting Liam Williams and Josh Adams.

Brilliant by Wales. England lose second half 18-3, the match and a bonus point. Only one team can win the Grand Slam now and who can stop them? So history repeats itself, another English implosion in Cardiff.

One European Cup tribunal goes soft on gouging (Castres scrum half Rory Kockott escapes with 3 weeks). Another tribunal comes down like a ton of bricks on Timisoara Saracens over a snowbound pitch, fines them 30 grand. Thought the idea was to promote rugby in Romania not kill it.

Willis Halaholo @whalaholo has every right to play for Wales, just as those born elsewhere had every right to line-up in red, green, white and blue last weekend. The abuse aimed over his original inclusion shamed a country proud of keeping a welcome in the hillsides.

Maybe now broadcasting companies will be in less of a rush to announce their MoM. Doing so with the result in the balance is tempting fate.

The draw for Rugby World Cup 2023 took place on Dec 14, 2020 based on rankings as at Jan 1, 2020 - a ludicrous 3 years 9 months before kick-off. The draw for FIFA World Cup 2022 took place on Apr 1, 2022, seven months before kick-off based on the latest rankings.

The sooner Wales make Ellis Jenkins their new captain, the better. They ought to put him in charge not just for the remainder of the autumn series but for the Six Nations, even if every other back row forward is fit. His leadership demands immediate recognition.

Wales did something today which no Welsh team has done in the 5-6 @SixNationsRugby for almost 50 years. They kept a clean sheet, the first since Terry Cobner's debut try v Scotland in 1974. Tougher tests to come but there was much to admire about Wayne Pivac's winning start.

Instead of kicking an Italian team when it’s down, how about a word in praise of their scrum half from Pembrokeshire, Stephen Vardy. The youngest member of the Six Nations cast he did what nobody else has done, dummied Antoine Dupont.

In @ChampionsCup history no team can have lost its first two matches and won more friends than @Cardiff_Rugby , minus 42 players due to COVID. Their patched-up team played some great stuff in giving @Harlequins a serious run for their money. 1/1

Met some colourful characters in my time from the fields of glory but not even the most colourful came close to matching The Warrior Prince from Mynydd-y-Garreg. Ray Gravell, Wales & Lions centre, patriot, film star, broadcaster, all-round top man, would have been 67 today.

Pure magic from little Ange Capuozzo, making the Dragons disappear in a puff of smoke. No more than Italy deserve. No more than Wales deserve, too, alarmingly so. From top to almost bottom.🇮🇹

Ben Stokes has just reduced the Sports Personality of the Year to a no-contest. One of the most sensational days in Ashes history won against all the odds by one of the greatest innings. And if only the Aussies hadn't wasted their last review, they'd have won by 1 run.

For a team to complete a Test of such unrelenting intensity and concede just three penalties is phenomenal. THREE. That has to be a Six Nations record for @TeamWales and a monumental tribute to their collective discipline.

Ellis Jenkins is some rugby player. He spends three years from 25 to 28 out of action after pulverising a knee, fights his way back and plays a blinder. Muhammad Ali, also out of action from 25 to 28, would have loved being ringside in Cardiff tonight.

Barry John during our last chat about rugby:''It used to be a game you played to find space and run into it. Now they look for people to run into. It used to be a game for all shapes and sizes. It's not a question of would I play but would I want to play. No, I wouldn't.''🙏

Ireland-Scotland in Dublin will feature 12 converts from South Africa and New Zealand. Jaco van der Walt @EdinburghRugby is the 8th South African picked by @Scotlandteam this year. Heaven knows why @WorldRugby took so long to increase residential qualification from 3 to 5 years.
