General Chat

Hi you two :-D :-D :-D

I wondered how this thread popped up all of a sudden :-D :-D :-D

I'M an All Blacks Supporter, but if I wasnt I'd be a Scotland supporter, But if I wasnt I.d be a Wallabies Supporter. Sorry.

Thankfully the WRU have got their heads out of their arses and sorted out the mess that Welsh rugby was of late. The good thing is that it doesn't look like it is a sweep it up under the carpet job.
Hopefully this works out and whilst we have lost some of our big names, going forward it looks better for the regions who have a better chance of being able to keep hold of players of the future .

Well that's something Ann! :-)

Sports Wales on BBC2 at 7pm is about the crisis in Welsh Rugby. I'm going to have to record it as I have the Grandchildren.

Well Warburton is not going to that club in France - talks over pay broke down according to Welsh news this evening

Oh-that's so sad Ann :-(
I missed the Welsh news yesterday, and the internet only says "rumoured", so I wasn't sure!

The trouble is, the clubs are not committing themselves to giving their players contracts. A lot of it is because the clubs are unsure what competitions they are aligning themselves with, and this is causing much uncertainty all round!

At the end of the day, the players need to earn a living! Sad as this is for Welsh Rugby. :-( :-(
Hopefully, their new clubs will release them to play for Wales when the time comes:-S

well they said it on the Welsh news this evening :-S

I hope not Ann :-(

I do know that there are lots of big issues, at the moment, in Welsh Rugby Union which are making players insecure and unhappy.

hmmm - so Leigh is leaving Wales when his contract is up and going to France :-S :-S :-S

Thankyou Dermot - You can be an Honorary Welshman for that! :-D:-D :-D

One way or another our Welsh Rugby Boys are are doing FANTASTIC Shaun :-) :-)

Jem~~ thank you for keeping us up to date :-D
Well done Leigh, well deserved :-D

Shaun

Well done, Welsh lads!

Talk tidy!
