Reminded of the Harry Enfield spoof of those 70s/80s war films featuring clearly alcoholic and/or geriatric filmstars in action roles. Filmstars he'd unsubtly renamed Dick Booze, Richard Smashed and Peter O'Pissed.

It's wonderful. One of those guaranteed pick-me-ups when most needed. An endless joy.

My wife just popped into the room where I'm watching sport to say that she wishes that she was into sport, because she can see that people get joy from it.

I've spent the evening flicking back and forth between the Scarlets losing and the Swans losing.

Nobody's enjoying this.

โ€œBut Anyway, Letโ€™s (Not) Talk About Englandโ€ The greatest service Steve Tandy could do for the future of Welsh rugby, as the tournament draws to a close, is to set a clear and confident marker: that Wales should play Italy expecting to win, aโ€ฆ

"At some point, the ambition has to match the history. Wales needs to think like a nation of winners again".

Nathaniel Hale, for Gwladrugby, reflects on an epic weekend of Six Nations rugby.

There are signs that the fundamentals are being put in place - decent set-piece, better defensive organisation, increasing physicality, an emerging attacking identity. And the players, as you say, are buying into it.

Early days, and still no win, but cause for a little optimism.

Let's go optimistic here.

This team has heart.

It may not yet have all the component parts to be a reliable Test team.

But it has heart. And a growing belief in what it needs to do. It has inexperienced players of great skill who will strain every sinew.

Proud of these lads. The win will come.

Plumtree is way ahead of you there, having picked up a tournament-ending injury last week.

0-6.

Eryri resident here.

This feels so, so, *so* correct.

But we'll take the win. Damply.

Also, nearly half of Britons think public services are a mess and somebody should do something about it.

Reminded of the time Ivo Graham turned up at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival with a work in progress show about Wales embracing the Green Party. He'd brought maps.

A minute in, an audience member pointed out that the green bits on his maps were Plaid Cymru Senedd members and things went a bit flat.

Please make a video about Ireland and then Italy.

Thanks.

You've misspelled "stagger" and "cope", James.

Pfft. Sky Sports commentators have just described a golfer who is younger than me as a "veteran".

A golfer! A veteran golfer!

It was only the match-winning try with 5 minutes to go. Nothing too important.

Yeah. Their bench had a much bigger positive impact than ours.

That's certainly a word to describe that last 10 minutes.

Not one I'd choose, mind

Yep. Looks fine.

I mean, that penalty was awarded with 70 seconds left.

By the time Russell placed the kick, the clock had lost 20 seconds.

It's been a while since we could blame the ref for shepherding an opponent home.

So, there's that, I suppose.
