Welsh rugby: an absolute clown car farce at every level. Imagine ending up in a cup final by mistake.

The main thing I’ve learned from all these Lions squad player reaction videos is that every single rugby player has the exact same sofa and living room decor

I’m sad to report that The English are At It Again.

Anyway, Ospreys and Scarlets should unilaterally apply to join the Premiership the minute the WRU serves them the two-year notice.

Dragons going full scab is a lovely reminder of why Welsh rugby is in the mess it's in. Clubs that should be united in solidarity to force the union into meaningful change that would benefit everyone, instead selling their peers out for the promise of nebulous future benefits. Grim.

For real tho, it’s wild that the picking of a new Pope has somehow been less laboured, overblown and fractious than a Lions squad announcement

It’s Johnny Sexton.

James Ryan and Johnny Sexton both going on this Lions tour, despite neither having any real justification for being there, shows that Irish rugby is never getting over the perceived slights of 2021. Embarrassing for them, really.

It’s weird they’re making him wear full kit? It’s reminds me of when they had Gladiators on The Hit List a few weeks, ago and they made them wear their leotards, but everyone else was just wearing normal clothes.

I’m genuinely not exaggerating when I say that I’ve heard louder crowds in a provincial working men’s club than the 50 people being creatively filmed in the audience of the Indigo O2 this afternoon.

Imagine how much more excited we’d all be about this if True King John Ssssspenccccer was doing the squad announcement, as is good and pure and right.

Anyway, before the Lions silliness kicks off please enjoy the revelation in the Guardian today that Tony Rowe is coping with Exeter being shit now by doing a Gumball 3000 across China for some reason.

The only offensive thing about Henry Pollock’s try celebrations is that they’re crushingly unoriginal. If rugby players really had all the ‘personality and character’ we’re constantly assured they do, they’d come up with their own cellys instead of ripping off tired stuff from other sports?

If nothing else, Caelan Doris should be take comfort in the knowledge that suffering a serious shoulder injury before you even get on the plane is no real impediment to captaining the Lions in the first test.

Don’t think Toulouse can have too many complaints about this to be honest. Despite all the injuries, there was a very clear route to winning this game, which was letting their pack go at UBB’s in the most unsophisticated way… and yet they decided to try it for all of seven minutes. Stupid stuff.

It’s also a tribute to the shirt Zidane wore while he was at Bordeaux in 1995 and they got to the UEFA Cup Final…

I should say, I don’t think this completely overshadows the Prenderghost’s undeniable qualities elsewhere. It’s just that I can’t remember another player who makes the act of trying to defend look so bad It’s not just that he’s defensively poor, it’s that it somehow feels even worse.

History has shown you don’t have to be a Wilkinson to be a good test 10, and he’s hardly the first out-half to be weak defensively… But I can’t remember a player looking as poor as the Prenderwaft does right now. It’s actually uncomfortable watching him try to awkwardly make himself to do it.

Imagine how detestable Leinster must be to have neutrals rooting for a team with Henry Pollock in it.

There’s a lot of Humpty Dumpty chat in my house at the moment, which is awkward because, thanks to In The Loop living in my head rent free, this line is never not being muttered under my breath:

Leinster really calling into question the integrity of the URC with the pathetic team they’ve sent to Llanelli. The entire coaching team should be investigated for suspicious betting behaviour at a bare minimum, imho.

Fair play to France for hauling themselves back into this, because for 20 minutes it honestly felt less ‘La décideur du Grand Chelem’, and more ‘un travail l’assurance’

Felt like Cardiff needed one more win to nail down the playoffs, and that’ll do it - ideally need a point or two in SA to avoid a nightmare QF trip tho.

Fair play, Dan Lydiate’s zebra-print scrum cap must absolutely stink. Hope he burns it ceremonially now, or something.

I'll tell you what, nothing makes your heart swell at the romance and poetry of sport than talk of a "strategic brand segmentation initiative"
