Hope people realised the importance of Josh Adams today. Sure, he didn’t have the perfect game, but who did? His experience is absolutely vital to this side. #WALvJAP

This really hasn’t been good for Wales. We are nowhere near most Tier 1 nations. Absolutely way off. We needed a convincing performance and we didn’t get it. #WALvJAP

Lovely finish from an international class winger. #WALvJAP

Once again, a successful fishing trip for Mr Jenkins. It’s what he does.
Argentina look severely fatigued here. Yet again the victims of an absurd rugby calendar that pushes them from pillar to post. You pitch these two 23s against one another in scientific baseline conditions and there is only one winner. #IREvARG

Thread | Can 2022/23 Cardiff give an insight into Cymru this weekend? Steve Tandy has switched up the centre selection for Saturday's game against Japan, with Max Llewellyn replacing Joe Hawkins at inside centre, moving away from the second playmaker at 12.

Notice how Bill Sweeney doesn't say no 👀
“Our focus is very much on English expansion” CEO of the RFU Bill Sweeney plays down the possibility of an Anglo-Welsh merger on the latest Rugby Union Weekly podcast 👀 #BBCRugby #Rugby

I don’t hate this team at all. That bench has the potential to be really impactful too. Excited to see how we go on Saturday.

No surprise to see NBC doing well. Always been my favoured network but it remains the most balanced and informative of the lot. Great coverage from last night.
Average prime time viewership for the 6 biggest networks on election night: NBC: 6.52 million ABC: 4.91 million CNN: 3.93 million MS NOW: 3.92 million Fox News: 3.88 million CBS: 2.63 million

Adams at 15 probably won't happen but I'd like to see it. Hawkins and James in the centre as Tandy has pretty much said that's what he intends on unless he perhaps picks Llewellyn at 12. Pack probably picks itself, Carré on bench as just returning from injury.

Watching NBC’s coverage of the midterms. Steve Kornacki’s knowledge is absolutely nuts. Across everything and explains it so well. Great journalist.

Personally think Josh Adams did enough on Saturday night to warrant a start for Wales v Japan. Was excellent under the high ball, showed some really nice flashes in attack and defended well. His experience will be vital in the next three tests.

Steff Emanuel is just brilliant. Will be world class. #OSPvCAR

I’m only dipping in and out on iPlayer but that looked like a pretty enjoyable half of rugby from a Cardiff perspective. Big thing now is a strong second half and not letting them back into it or getting complacent. #OSPvCAR

I love Daf Hughes. Puts absolutely everything into the jersey. #OSPvCAR

I can’t watch at the moment but this is the most Cardiff thing I have ever seen 😂

Wales defence has been outstanding in this final 20 mins. #JAPvWAL

Scrappy half but a decent lead for us to go into half time. Hopefully keep it up in the second half. #JAPvWAL

Looking forward to seeing how the RFU make two Champ clubs into Prem forces within two years as opposed to welcoming two clubs with ready-made Prem-standard squads. On the plus side, maybe Newcastle will get a break from being the whipping boys of that league.
