I thought Davidson did a good job with Ireland/Italy. Clear and firm.

You got your try early too…. There’s not even the hope of that now 
don’t kick me when i’m down tabletopYou got your try early too…. There’s not even the hope of that now

It jsut gets better.

also unbelievably sad to see so many empty seats there. bbc just informed me this is the lowest attendance for a six nations game since 2002. and this is against arguably the best team in the competition, one of the best in the world.
the state of welsh rugby right now man

It comes to something when they can’t even get the casual fans in
Hey, you got two tries today! That’s two!
I hope attendance is better on Saturday for Scotland, we've got tickets and I'm now very excited after Scotland remembered how to play.also unbelievably sad to see so many empty seats there. bbc just informed me this is the lowest attendance for a six nations game since 2002. and this is against arguably the best team in the competition, one of the best in the world.

It was so sad for Wales seeing the stadium looking so empty. Saw pictures online of pubs pre-match looking quiet too, must have such a negative impact on hospitality in the city.
it really does
i’m sure the WRU get something like 60-70% of their revenue through the men’s internationals so goodness knows the impact this will have long-term. if you can’t get a good crowd against one of the best teams in the world what hope do the other games have.people are just voting with their feet. i was in swansea on saturday and on an international day that would usually be manic, trains and pubs full, but you would never have even known a game was on. welsh rugby is broken
it’s so sad to see, as someone who grew up with a father who played and a proud local team. the regions killed local rugby and the wru killed international.It is very sad what's going on with Welsh Rugby. I won't pretend to have enough knowledge to speak accurately on the behind the scenes of everything but surely they should be increasing the regions and pathways rather than cutting them? They have a limited player pool to choose from in the first place so get kids into rugby young. Do they still have the international cap rule as well? That will only limit options further if there's only 3 Welsh teams to pick internationals from.
I'm from the south west and back in the 80s trips over the bridge to play Neath, Ponty etc were some of the hotly contested ties. Even at amatuer level you'd get a decent crowd going over for the crack!
On an aside. I mentioned before but I find it crazy that the prem cup games aren't being shown anywhere. Not even YouTube or premier sports , Amazon prime etc. They bang on about people needing to get into the sport and this would be the perfect opportunity to showcase some rugby on a free platform to a wider audience. The highlights they put up on YouTube after are crap too, look like they've been filmed on an old Nokia and usually no commentary! Surely they could get some local uni students in to have a go at the media side of it if the big companies don't want to bother. They do this with BUCs uni games and it works well.
I can watch Super Rugby Pacific and NRL live from Australia / NZ but not a game 10 happening 10 minutes down the road! It's mad

Josh from the podcast blood & mud is knowledgeable about Welsh rubgy & the state it's in.
He doesn't hold back .
Thanks will give it a listen ! Such a shame all round
Go back to the beginning of the year.
It's usually about 25/30 mins in after "player spotted.
Oh hello fellow B&M-er

i’ll have to give it a listen too!
@RandomUser12345 - you mentioning neath v ponty has made me emotional
the place used to be absolutely rocking! it’s such a shame that pontypridd (like so many proud valley towns) now has absolutely no regional representation. the wru only ever really wanted cardiff and llanelli in there and now look what’s happened. i hate when commentators try to say the scarletts have a 50 year history. depressing 🥲
