Most importantly, we talk through the Llanelli v Australia game in November 92 and where THAT celebration came from. We all agreed that Rupert is a bloody nice...

We begin with a chat about Doddie Weir, a great man that will be sorely missed. Then, Rhys wanted to talk about the Cardiff and Sharks game - regardless of what everyone else was talking about, so we humoured him for a while - but he kept going on!  To be fair, we were all quite complimentary about each others performances from last weekend - it all felt a little unusual! We discussed all the Wels...
