    Remembering this lovely lady, my wife Liz who passed away 10 yrs ago today due to a brain tumour. Blessings on those who treated and cared for her, and blessings on those who continue to treat and care for cancer patients. #RIPLiz

    Just one other observation from today - if Justin Tipuric’s 1st try has been scored by Wales in the 70’s it would have entered into Welsh Rugby folklore. We should enjoy and admire Tips while we can because I don’t think we’ll see his like again for a very long time.

    Remembering this lovely lady - my late wife Liz who died of a secondary brain tumour (Cancer Unknown Primary) 9 yrs ago tonight. She was 1 in a million as a person, and 1 of a million reasons why we should fund the good fight against cancer.

    Remembering this lovely lady - my wife Liz who passed away 13 years ago today aged 48, exactly 7 weeks after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Always remembered, never forgotten by my daughter Bryony and me. 🙏

    Allegedly overheard at 6 Nations launch today: Eddie J : I dreamt that Heaven were playing Earth and God made me coach of Earth XV. Owen Farrell: I dreamt that too - God made me captain of Earth XV Alun-Wyn J : I had that dream too - I don't remember giving you two a job 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Hi @owen_faz, I’m a proud Welshman who’s been involved in our great game as fan, player, teacher, coach and broadcaster for over 50 yrs and I just wanted to say how lovely it was to see you congratulate @Sheedy95 after his final conversion. The spirit of rugby personified 👍

    Delighted today that at the age of 61, and after 30 yrs as a freelancer, I’ll be doing full commentary on a Wales international for the very first time. I’m a 30 years of hard graft overnight success. 😉 Dyfal donc a dyr y garreg. 🇿🇦🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Sad to say that after 14 yrs, my stint as @BBCScrumV pitchside reporter has finally come to an end. 😢 It's been an absolute privilege to have worked with such a brilliant team for so long 👍 Happy to say I'll still be involved in @BBCSportWales rugby coverage in other ways😀

    Gutted as a Welshman but as a rugby man I have to say that is a great result for the Six Nations and for rugby itself. Massive congrats to Italy who were the better side and thoroughly deserved the win. 👍🏉🇮🇹 Moretti it is then. 🍺

    The Wales captain showing the living meaning of the phrase: "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." Humanity and kindness personified.
    Alun Wyn Jones might just have made young Caleb Forster's day at our captain's run this morning 🙂
