I feel like I'm constantly Mick McCarthy on this topic but it's not obvious to me how the fundamentals for Welsh rugby get any better any time soon? And could well get worse if they start messing with the regional game. Who says this is rock bottom?

I've been hearing this term for 35 plus years around Welsh rugby.
Again, please stop. There is no 'rock bottom'.

This one very slightly more subtle than the other two but I can't remember a weekend where we've had three reds across international and top European rugby for such gratuitous acts of foul play 😱

It's very Pep Guardiola #GBBO
Jasmine's baking is just too studied. It's the corporate think tank version of creativity, all spreadsheets, market research, and appeals to popularity over trying stuff for the hell of it and actually being experimental #GBBO
