Talking of entertainment value, I'm about to watch Exeter-Bath on the premiership website, should be good for a laugh!

That's cruel.

Bath were shite....... I honestly thought things had changed, but obviously not.

Thankfully though, things at Scarlets seem to have improved!!

All will be back!

Yes, in a ground floor flat with no garden, thanks for reminding me!!

Well, I beg to differ. I thought Bath played really well in the first half and were in the game until the last quarter. It was much more like the Bath I used to know and love.

No mate, they weren't. Bath of old would have twatted that Exeter team. We've lost way too much - and players are leaving.

Very sad to say, but this is far from a team of old. Would love to see it back, but it's some way away.....

Well England beat Wales in the womens 6 nations. Not impressed with the format. Continuous big wins are not good for either team. Also some of them English players scare me.

They're pretty much untouchable at the moment - Number One in the World Rankings and unbeaten in something like 22 matches going back to 2019.

Teams are following suit by going professional or semi-professional, but in all fairness England are well in front on that score and it shows.

Despite the scoreline, Wales actually played well in a lot of areas and were a player down due to a Yellow Card. It was never going to be a close game, just hoped in was going to be somewhat closer than it was!!

Anyhoo, Wales must look forward - making the right moves, but it will take time.

Crusaders vs Blues yesterday. Best game of the Super Rugby season so far. Full match to fill your spare time.

^ Look forward to watching that one Pete...

In the meantime - nice to see some decent rugby in Wales....

That was a cracking good run, Mind you I thought the ref was going tio tackle him at one point.

Certainly a must see if you're able..

Bath 31-36 Northampton (Last weekend)

Phew! That was close! Bath almost let themselves down by winning a game, but through an outstanding effort on their part they just about managed to get the loss they obviously feel they deserve...

Absolute joke at the moment. The loss of some class players evident - Faletau, Priestland & Watson amongst several to leave.
Management and coaching needs work to say the least.
31-17 with 12 minutes to play...... Bath give away 19 points in that period!! Heads need to roll......

Gee thanks for reminding me DM
