Just one other observation from today - if Justin Tipuric’s 1st try has been scored by Wales in the 70’s it would have entered into Welsh Rugby folklore. We should enjoy and admire Tips while we can because I don’t think we’ll see his like again for a very long time.

I’m sure I speak for many of my age when I say that we have lost part of our rugby childhoods. One of the all time greats of Welsh Rugby. #RIPJJ

Wales and British and Irish Lions great JJ Williams has died at the age of 72. He scored 12 tries in 30 Tests as Wales won four Five Nations titles, including two Grand Slams, during the 1970s. More:

Ray Gravell - player, broadcaster, actor, patriot and family man left us 15 years ago today. Always greeted me with, “Phil Steele - not a bad full back, not a f*****g good one” and made it feel like a term of endearment. Thoughts with Mari, Gwenan and Manon. #RIPGrav 🙏

Fabulous game - the best of the RWC so far. 👍 Fiji were brilliant, but I’d have settled for a ‘Wales by 6 bonus point win’ beforehand, and I’ll settle for it now. 👍🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I can also announce that Pinot Noir is an ideal wine to go with fingernails! 🍷

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that today is the most important day in the history of Welsh rugby. I hope The WRU does the right thing and acts in the best interests of its most vital asset - the players. 🏉

Just been talking to a guy from Devon and asked him if he’s looking forward to the game. “Not really I can’t believe Eddie J has only picked one player from Exeter Chiefs!” I said “I know how you feel Butt, I can’t believe Gatland has only picked 2 players from Bancyfelin!” 😉

Come on Unions - do what is right to aid one of your own. Even 10% of gate receipts would be a substantial amount for this great warrior's fine cause.

Thoughts with Tom. I can empathise with the trepidation the dark winter nights bring from when I became a widower at 14 yrs ago. The friendship and the trips I enjoyed with the @BBCScrumV team were such a help in getting me through. I’ll always be grateful to them. 🙏

Just when I was fretting that it’s been a full 48 hrs since a former pupil of Whitchurch HS achieved something noteworthy in top class sport, up steps old boy Kieran Carlson to score a brilliant half century in a great T20 win for @GlamCricket #ConveyorBelt #OhGlammyGlammy

I thought on balance England deserved their win. But I still find it hard to swallow that Wales scored 3 tries to 1 against England at Twickenham and still lost, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Apparently France have asked their prop Poirot to investigate the theft of a win that they thought was in their bag but was stolen in Paris. 😉
