New Video! 🎥 Link ❤️ youtu.be/yWDW4jdDRYQ A totally self indulgent & nostalgic video for me: a documentary about my favourite ever player and his greatest ever moment. This is the story of Leigh Halfpenny and the 2013 #Lions tour 🦁

The best performance from a Welsh team 🏴 since I don’t know when. All the credit has to go to Sean Lynn for instilling structure and organisation where once there was none. Spot on from all the players 1-23 👏
Wales have a first win under Sean Lynn. ✅ An impressive performance in Brisbane. 👏 #BBCRugby #AUSvWAL

Italy take the win in Viadana. #AsOne

700,000 viewers for the opening #Lions test 📺 fewer than the Premiership, URC or Super Rugby finals 📉 the price of a pay wall?
HUGE amount of sport on TV Saturday including #Lions rugby, 700k viewers on 2 Sky Sports channels, all day @TheOpen coverage, 600k, #TourDeFrance cycling on ITV4, 200k AND darts, cricket plus heavyweight boxing on #DAZN. Biggest audience?…Germany win in Women’s Euros, 2m on ITV1
Today I did a couple of posts asking about where rugby should be targeting for growth 📈 A common response was ‘target where rugby is already popular’ 🙋 But would that really be growth?

The GDPs of the top 2️⃣5️⃣ ranked nations in men’s & women’s rugby - does this influence how and where we should be growing the game? 💭
