Round two of the URC has produced another bumper pod - it is safe to say that this is not one to listen to with the kids! A poor game between the Dragons and Cardiff, barely anyone watching the Ospreys game and some lovely scenery being the only thing worth watching with the Scarlets all get discussed in detail. The expectations for this weekends games are not much more encouraging but it is safe to say that the boys are firmly backing the regions to come through this and find a way back to the top

Despite the temptation to dive straight in to discussing the quarter final - the boys begin with a few pre-season game reviews and the prospects for the coming season. Some are more enthusiastic than others to discuss them but the need for better coverage of these types of games is obvious. Conversation then turns to France - the good bits from the Georgia game, the impressive performances, the unfortunate injuries, the players putting hands up for Argentina - then the injuries, the call up, the

Finding positives in the Portugal game was difficult but the boys got there with a bit of effort and determination. There were a lot of learning to be taken from that game both for the Australia game and for future development in general. The Fiji v Australia game gave Wales a lot of information to work with but exactly how Gatland puts it to good use is up for debate. One thing the boys do agree on is the standard of TV and media coverage is well below par and in some cases just plain wrong! Plenty
