Often it is said that wales lacks entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial spirit. I think it’s such a damaging narrative. And the reality is so far from the truth. Just reading about the berry brothers from Merthyr. What a story and lives they led. Titans of the British establishment.

Day out yesterday! We drove about an hour South into Co. Mayo, to the National Museum of Country Life, not far from Castlebar.
We stopped, on the way, at Turlough, nearby, to visit this ruined abbey with an intact round tower…

It was a loss. A heavy one. You never want to lose. But for me that was encouraging. A lot of pluses to build on. Think this squad know they have something.
Fair play it’s a Sunday game. It’s raining. Wales are likely to lose. But real atmosphere in town.
Turned a corner ?
I predict a decent autumn until out of window SA game stuff us

Rugby is going wrong with its approach to subs. Sweeping changes five mins into the second half.
Mark it a game of top level fitness for 80 mins again.
Big squads help bigger countries far more

Much of Caerphilly castle had a dollop of bute cash thrown at it in restoration in Victorian years and gave us a lot of what we had today. Not a bad job and today we could better. Should we ?
Also the water defences were only restored in the 50s - that has to be a good thing ?
