🏉Can we please not hear “if you want to be the best, you have to play the best”. I can’t see any playing benefit from today’s game. Wales probably need more fixtures against tier 2/3 countries to build up confidence- but the new comp means there’s little flexibility in opponents. #Wales #Rugby

🏉 #WALvRSA as bad as feared. Whoever signed off the fixture should be hanging their head- did Welsh public really spend any more on 4 matches than they would have on 3? No way Wales should take on a Tier One nation without full squad to choose from. But should Wales be more competitive physically?

🏉Leinster come back to beat Dragons 24-10 after 2 tries from wing Kenny in the second quarter

Late pressure from home side but no cutting edge as ref lets Leinster flanker Penny off a suspicious tackle

Irish strength in depth tells as supersub RG Snyman grabs the crucial try #DRAvLEI

🏉If playing an international on a URC weekend wasn’t bad enough, Dragons’ fixture coincides with a Pontypool v Newport SRC derby.

Joined up thinking anyone?

🏉Dragons lead Leinster 7-5 at HT after visitors have 2 yellow cards

Screech close range try as Dragons recover from conceding after 3 mins

Mackenzie Martin carrying well

For once Dragons getting on the right side of ref - can they keep it up for a shock win?

🏉Strange red card for Tonga vs Scotland with no injury caused. If that’s the letter of the law, some discretion needed… #SCOvTON

🏏Good to see Ben Kellaway get a 50 for England Lions in Perth

Although the tourists are struggling, batting 75 and 72 overs is rather better than the seniors…..
