Quick Tap: Six Nations Week 4 Round Up

Week four set up a very exciting final round on Super Saturday, with the tournament wide open, with three teams able to win the trophy still. Wales survived a Scotland revival with stubborn grit; England routed Italy in typical fashion; finally, Ireland found their blueprint again to walk over a lackluster French outfit. Read on to see my points from each game.

Alun Wyn Jones wasn't the most cheerful after beating Scotland, he knows the big one is yet to come.

The Welsh Regional Debate

The landscape of Welsh rugby is in turmoil right now. While the national team are on a winning streak never before seen in the Land of St. David the regional structure is cracking at the foundations. The WRU are in the process of finalising a new agreement with the regions, focused on handling the finances of the game above all. This has led to a lot of debate on social media and in newspapers in the last week. Now I'm putting forth my thoughts.

I will put forward a small disclaimer. I do not know the details for the money being discussed, and even if I did I probably wouldn't understand what they mean. What is here is my thoughts on the regions, and the WRU's plans to change the look of professional club rugby in Wales.


The regions could be about to undergo the biggest shift in their history, as the WRU looks to build a long term plan.

Quick Tap: Six Nations Week 3 Round Up

The middle week of the Six Nations served up the game of the tournament so far, serving up a middle finger to World Rugby wanting to dispose of the championship. Either side of the monumental clash in Cardiff, France piled on to Scotland's woes, and Ireland did the minimum required in Rome. Read on to find my less obvious takeaways from each game, in this week's Quick Tap.

When Adams crossed the line Cardiff went crazy, and the 2019 Tournament was blown wide open.
