Agree with Finlay but we didn't swap Ioan for a kiwi. His job is being done by Richard Kelly another Welshman. I have absolutely nothing against Ioan and I wish him well for his future but our forwards haven't played like a pack for years. Our lineout has been one of the worst in the pro 14.

In the year of our pro14 title, our set pieces were very good, specially line out

Yes Mr Ian that is correct. I think the individual brilliance of Shingler & Beirne hid many deficiencies which came back to haunt us particularly season 18/19 when our lineout problems cost us qualification for the Champions Cup. The past few seasons we don't seem to have a pack playing as a unit - Exeter style. The Edinburgh at home fixture this season springs to mind.

It will be interesting to see when the new ownership of Ospreys make signings with substance to match the well-known names or headlines.

There has been a Filo Tiatia for defence coach rumour, but I haven't given it much stock.

Good point EO. They may be our rivals but events of the past 12/18 months have not been good for Welsh/regional rugby. They now have a real rugby man at the helm who will slowly get the set up right.

I wondered how long it would take for the current financial squeeze to show through in terms of competition for players. It is being strongly reported that proD2 French club Beziers are starting to offer some very strong incentives to sign players being financed by a Middle Eastern takeover.
Big bucks French clubs along with Japanese corporate financed teams will start to turn heads with offers of contracts Britain & Ireland will find very hard to compete with as most are looking to reduce their outgoings substantially. Worrying times ahead in more ways than one.
