What a try that was from Grady!

Superb try from Grady but doesn't cover over a lot of Welsh cracks.

Huge credit to North. A superb player and a talisman for Wales for much longer than you'd expect for a back.

Get in! Lawrence has been one of our stand outs this year for me.
Nice to see the French have finally decided to turn up this year, funnily enough it’s against us yet again!

That's how to start a second half Ange!

Bollocks. Bit of a write off sport-wise today.

Great game though. Pity to concede that late pen

Biggest waste of eight hours on the sofa ever watching sport and I won’t ever get that pass again!
Can’t believe we lost that at the end, think I’ve seen enough over the last couple of games to think Borthwick might be on to something

Yeh something is starting to work for sure. I think we're at least a year behind France and Ireland but there's potential for a lot of growth and quickly at that.

Encouraging tournament, looking forward to the next one . The 6 Nations has been great this time round

From the Times

Louis Rees-Zammit will this week sign with Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl champions who count Taylor Swift as their most famous fan.​

​

The 23-year-old Welshman has been visiting clubs over the past week after taking part in the pro day for those on the International Player Pathway (IPP). Rees-Zammit recorded a time of 4.43sec for the 40-yard dash, marking him out as fast enough to play in the NFL. Scouts from 31 teams were there to watch him demonstrate his athleticism, with his footwork and agility catching the eye.​

Absolute cracker of a game today against Ealing, we all thought we’d go down by 20+ but to come back from 21-7 at HT to win 29-21 was absolutely remarkable.
Best I’ve seen us play in years, god knows where that came from!
