Interesting gathering of new troops at the Roman Legionary Museum in Caerleon today. Should we be worried?

Oh the Lions squad is being named today for the Swelling Aussie Coffers Tou.

Frankly, if Liam Belcher isn't named AND named as Captain it is doomed adventure. Notwithstanding, the 27hr Sky fly-on-the-wall / access-most-areas super slo-mo documentary, "Residing with a Roar", will be somewhat duller.

Absolute scenes at CAP. A crowd of nearly 12,000 and a gutsy performance to secure the BP win. Top 8 still not secure, but this was one of those great nights when you remember why you love the game as much as you ever have.

Did you know that Ken Follett’s next book is about #Stonehenge? And that it was inspired by How to Build Stonehenge? I’ve blogged about it below, and the ideas behind 2 Stonehenge novels written by best-selling authors. Circle of Days is out in September.

First we saw Lampeter gutted & now the humanities at Cardiff. The Archaeology department was my undergrad Alma Mater & I've always been so proud of that and every opportunity they gave me. Solidarity with them & their colleagues as they face what's coming from above.
