Besides the Welsh Rugby Union 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 chairman's justification for everything interview after the AGM, does anyone know what actually happened at the meeting? Decisions should follow agenda items, or doesn't that happen anymore? If they did, what are they? If they didn't, why not?

Funnily enough, they have got matches to prepare for and then play, some of them fulfilling the obligation to the BKT United Rugby Championship (URC), which the Welsh Rugby Union 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 is always keen to remind us about.

This chap Robert Lloyd has his weekly column in the South Wales Evening Post today. This week, he’s putting the spotlight on a world premier event to honour the memory of Richard Burton. #Llanelli #Carmarthen #Swansea #Neath #PortTalbot #SupportYourLocalPaper #buyapaper

🦁🧢📸 Congrats to Asa & Ben on receiving their England Lions caps before play today. By Richard Dawson no less! The Lions first innings closed on 166 all-out against Australia A, with the hosts ending the session strongly on 155-2 in Brisbane. More pics on our Insta.

The whole process has been flawed from the start with the decision to marginalise the west hotbed by creating the mythical branding of Cardiff as the central option when it's east. So, guaranteed east teams 2, guaranteed west teams 0. East bias among decision-makers matters.

Feels like the heat is rising between Welsh rugby fans on social media about the impending landscape, which the architects of it may be relieved about. They shouldn't be.

Coming up on Wednesday - the Swansea Grand Theatre world premiere of a new jazz suite set to Richard Burton's A Christmas Story - rlloydpr.substack.com/p/south-wales-…

Thoughts on a quality day in Bordeaux: Match: Toughest assignment, European champions away. #Scarlets battled away for elusive bonus point try, the only realistic prize. Stade Chaban-Delmas: 32,000 crowd. Gloriously intimidating. Band striking up randomly. They do it well.

One of the most tiresome elements of the continuing Welsh rugby crisis is the social media sniping between rival fans. Lacking the humour of previous banter, it also diverts attention away from the source of the problem.

Au revoir Bordeaux... C'est magnifique.

Classic grey day in #Swansea Bay. #walking

The Power of Gower bringing another fantastic #Swansea #Jazz Club year to a memorable end Swansea Grand Theatre. All power to their elbows and everything else.

There’s something about Ben Stokes that only appears when things start slipping away. When... the scoreboard turns ugly. The mood drops. The walk back feels inevitable. That’s when he settles in. No noise. No theatre. Just the decision to stay. Ball after ball, hit after hit,

Gareth Davies: First try - classic Gareth Edwards Second try - classic Gareth Davies

Swansea 1979. Glad I saw him. That voice.

Clubs who never wanted to disappear surprise the Welsh Rugby Union 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 by not wanting to disappear.

Glamorgan County Cricket Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Glamorgan legend, trophy-winning captain and former CEO Hugh Morris MBE. Our thoughts are with Hugh's family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time. 🔗 bit.ly/3YJoy46
