The last dog I named after Llanelli fly half (Patchell) died violently at the hands of a wild boar, so I think it is a bad omen.

Plus Patchell had done enough to merit having a dog named after him.

I don't use the word lightly, but he appears to be insane.

In all seriousness though, after the green shoots at the back end of last season, where we had a decent run-in, made the playoffs and looked like a team on the up, it is disappointing that we have violently lurched back to being catastrophically shit.

The ordeal with that cancelled flight fiasco to Connacht last week has clearly really taken it out of the lads. I really hope we sue the shit out of the stranded Ryanair passengers who tried to make it difficult for us to leave the flight before take off. This result is on them.

Not ideal, if we're honest.

There are young Welsh cricketers now reporting "losing by a rugby score" after heavy losses.

While our backline does have a lot of exciting, albeit unproven talent, it is perhaps a hindrance that our pack makes rice paper look like reinforced steel.

It's like the bloke the other day who was all like 'we mustn't blow too much smoke up Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu's arse, or else, next thing you know, he'll be shooting his girlfriend dead in a bathroom.'

They do have a flair for a plot twist, these saffa rugby reply guys.

I am crippled with envy at Irish statehood and its emergence as an economic success story, with a government eager to spunk money and tax breaks on rugby union.

We could and should have the same thing in Cymru, if only we had the vision, guts and self-esteem to make it a reality.

Had to say goodbye to this wonderful lady today. Only 7 years old. RIP Pirouette, 18/6/18 - 8/19/25. 🐕💔
