Aye, but spare a tear or two for Scotland and Italy Sean. You can be sure there are plenty of Welsh whoāll be raising a glass or two to honour St. Patrickāassuming they donāt drink the pubs dry before that.
Hwyl,

Youāre nice, @rich! 
(and also @JohnYoung and @MarilynHames too showing sympathy for the losers, too 
)
However I doubt it will seriously improve as long as team gets so little support: nobody really talks about it, and gets almost zero coverage in Italy - except for a brief moment a few years when it was all over the news as a virtuous example of sport, as opposed to corrupted and money-based football - but didnāt last long!
Very few kids want to play rugby, they all want to be Ronaldo. And average Italian moms donāt their precious bambini to play something so rough, so itās not going to work.

I was gutted not to be there after having tickets very early on. Sadly, hubby hasnāt been well most of this year so we couldnāt go in the end but watched enthusiastically ar y teledu. Fantastic weekend of rugby and so pleased (ecstatic) that Wales won. Bizarrely, I ended up in the Principality this week for a conference which felt really weird seeing the ground empty after so much happening a few days before.
Fel, dw iān mynd i gwylioār Scarlets eto ar y penwythnos a dw iān moyn dysguār geiriau rygbi. Gobeithio!

Glad you both enjoyed the rugby and we did.
Hope hubby is feeling better. The rugby must have been a good tonic for you both. I was over the moon and really, really enjoyed the Six Nations. Absolutely brilliant result.

Hi all, as the United Rugby Championship is on S4C and BBC this year Iām gonna make more of an effort to watch as much of it as possible (I used to watch loads but only recently realised I could get S4C through freesat/streaming). Is anyone else a regular follower of the regions at all?
Iāve also decided to give the fantasy version of URC a go too. If anyoneās interested - we can set up a SSIW league, let me know. Iāve never used this site before, so I dunno how good it is, but its the only URC option I could find. Apologies if its rubbish!
