Reality Bites

Oh, dear oh dear.

The annual European meltdown has come early for Welsh clubs, it seems, and with a bit of luck it might all be over by Christmas. The Dragons and Scarlets both spanked at home, and the Ospreys meekly surrendering a dominant position at Kingsholm... pretty pathetic, really.

Wasps' masterclass in using defence as an offensive weapon left the myth of "Fortress Stradey" in shreds. If Shaun Edwards can do that for Wales, then I for one will welcome our new baldy overlord.

Hurrah for the Blues, then, and their useful away draw at The Stoop. More than they deserved, frankly - but none the less welcome. A mention in dispatches for Dai Flanagan, who after two appearances is looking quite handy for a third-choice #10. Similar depth of talent up front would be nice though, eh?
