That’s embarrassing.
He’s the first to go missing in a big game or make a total cluster fuck of a mistake.
The vital knock on v New Zealand at the World Cup.
The brain dead penalty v Toulouse.
As somebody who admittedly doesn’t watch rugby or any sport it does seem to me from watching rugby that Caelan Doris is a great man for the medium sized occasion.
He’s a classic case of I hear the bees but I see no honey.

Says a lot about rugby when that fella is one of the best players in the world. If the Welsh arent producing rugby players, the games gone.
The game seems to be gone in Wales anyway. Their international team doesnt have the physique to compete with teams like Oz, their club teams have been shite for an eternity, their underage teams get tonked annually, crowds are dowm and the WRU is practically bankrupt. Everyone wants to see a strong Welsh team, but they re a long way from it right now.

They may amalgamate but maybe they’re right, rugby is dead
The lads pushing professionalism in the gaa should watch what is happening in Welsh rugby.
They simply don’t have the money to compete.

Alan Quinlan finally said something interesting.
Wales as a society has given up.
Eddie Butler is dead, Gary Speed is dead, Huw Edwards is disgraced, Ryan Giggs is disgraced. The drummer from the Stereophonics choked on his own vomit. The singer from the Lostprophets was a proper Brendan Smith/Sean Fortune style paedophile.
The great rugby players of the 1970s are dying at a rate of about one a month.
The 1985-1991 born generation of rugby players and association footballers that gave them hope are all done. The rugby players are mostly in the early stages of brain damage, the association footballers have gone to play golf.
People have forgotten about Catherine Zeta Jones and Charlotte Church and Katherine Jenkins.
There are no more Tom Joneses or Shirley Basseys or Cerys Matthewses or Manic Street Preacherses or Super Furry Animalses.
There are no more Ian Woosnams or Joe Calzaghes or Colin Jacksons or young genius snooker players. There are no more David Lloyd-Georges or Aneurin Bevans or even Neil Kinnocks. There is no more and coal and steel.
Who have they got now? Carol Vorderman vaguely hanging onto relevance as a sort of remainy Islington dinner party troll? Neville Southall being a lovely bloke on Twitter?
They have Gerwyn Price. A darts players who looks like a roided up freak whose veins are about to pop out of his head. And apparently he’s already on the decline. They have that very pleasant looking Christine Bleakley lookalike who presents the One Show, maybe she still presents it, I don’t watch it. Her name is Alex Jones which is a very unfortunate name to have.
That’s about it.
Welsh towns are dumps - grim, life-crushing dumps. The only way to survive is to medicate yourself into unawareness. Is it any wonder Welsh society has given up.
