The hosts of the podcast, Scarlet's Fever, discuss their recent activities and upcoming events. They talk about attending concerts and their love for music. They also mention their plans for charity work and discuss rugby games and league standings. Welcome to Scarlet's Fever, the home of Suspense Central and Westerer is Besterer. Hello and welcome to the district Scarlet's Fever with me, Lee G, and Jeremy as always, the awesome duo of Catboy and Big M. Good evening, gentlemen. Evening, how are we? Evening, welcome back to the What Are We Piss-Boiling podcast. So mine's got a new headset, and it's the same headset as mine, and we were just comparing how good fart noises sound to the headset. Much better, obviously. I just think this is what grown men do when you give them boys toys, and we should be proud of the fact that that's what we do. Other than your new headset, Matt, what interesting things have we been up to this weekend? Well, personally, I've been rekindling some of my youth. Friday night I went up to watch the Blackout. All in, if you don't know who the Blackout are, they're this nice little band from Merthyr Tydfil. First time they've toured in nine years, you know, five dates. If you weren't there, you've lost it forever. Slam Dunk now in the summer is the last one, so if you haven't seen them, get down there. Honestly, it was awesome. I haven't been to a concert, to a gig in well over a year. Bandana on, got my merch going. I'm loving it. I'm a happy boy now. How many times did your missus tell you to either stop doing something or grow up? Not that many. She's worse than me, honestly. She pulled me into all of this. I was quite a latecomer to the scene. This is the first time I've actually seen the Blackout, because when I finally got into them, I'd already had my eldest full-time job, working all the hours God sends. I'm becoming a teenager again. I've actually got a few more lined up for the rest of the year. I've got Dayseeker now and Beethoven. If you've never heard of them, have a listen. If you like alternative music, you'll enjoy it. This is the difference between you and me, Mark. Who are you going to go see again for the rest of the year? I've got one for Dayseeker and one for Beethoven. The rest of my year involves Jesus Christ Superstar, Wicked and Hamilton. I wouldn't mind Wicked. I do fancy going to see Wicked. I don't do musical theatre. The missus loves it, obviously, but it just doesn't. Apart from The Lion King, I don't mind. The best thing about The Lion King is when they come in at the start and you've got the big elephants and the rhinoceros walking down. That's amazing. It's great songs. You can't knock the songs in The Lion King. I'm seeing The Manics and Suede in the summer in Manchester because they're doing their dual tour. I'm seeing them. I'm looking forward to that. This will be the fifth or sixth time I've seen The Manics. I always go with my dad, so I'm looking forward to that. Is this your first time without your dad or are you going with your dad? I'm going with my dad this time. Again? Yeah. Every time. He needs a chaperone. Well, this week, I've got something this week that I've been doing that I'm going to kind of throw it in to almost like a little competition but a bit of an incentive. So we're starting to do more stuff on YouTube and all that kind of malarkey and our YouTube subscribers are growing. I know it's around about 160-odd, something like that. So I figured when we get to 200, I'm going to celebrate, right? And my celebration is… Have you seen the Beyoncé Texas dance thing? You haven't seen it, have you? You boys haven't? No. I knew the Beyoncé. She was someone from Destiny's Child, wasn't she? Yeah. So you can tell I live in a house with a lot of women. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang a banger now. Oh, yeah. You can trot me on that quite comfortably. Anyway, I've got a teenage daughter that insists that I do TikTok dances with her. So I've got a video of me doing Beyoncé's Texas… I think it's called Texas. Hold them up, will you? Anyway, when we reach 200 subscribers on YouTube, I will publish that video on YouTube. I will… Unedited, this is me doing that. Have you got a blue card as well? There was one where I missed my first crossover right step. But other than that, yeah… I don't know what that is. I know it sounds… It means that my right leg went over the front. But yeah, so when we get to 200 YouTube subscribers, I will publish my Texas hold them up Beyoncé dance just for… What are you? And then when we get to 250, you're going to do… I'll take it down. I have. I'm in the… I'm in year… What is it now? Year 8 of an argument with a friend of mine about one of the backing dancers in the All The Single Ladies dance is a man. He insists that the one on the left is a man. And I think, what is he on about? I'm like, you think they couldn't find two other women who could do the dance? And he's like, no, it's a man, trust me. Do you like pause it and stuff? Do you like pause it and see if you can have a look and zoom in and stuff? It's one of the least less toxic arguments that we have because the other argument that we have is Batman versus Iron Man. And that one just turns nasty every time. Can I just clarify something? This argument has been going on for eight years or it started when you were in year 8? Eight years. Did you? All right. Blimey, mate. You've only just got out of school, so I had to make sure. Yeah. Christ, that's a blimey one. Iron Man versus Batman is a genuine argument, yeah? Well, which is the best billionaire? Superman wins every time. Right, so let's move on. So one thing that I just brought up. Before we start with rugby stuff, and we'll get on to rugby stuff in a minute. So something that I brought up on wrap just now, and I'm going to get all pods to do it. So I want to do some charity stuff for Christmas, right? As a pod, as all of us, as a family of pods. Christmas. Yeah. Trust me, it needs thinking about it. I've done this before, and I left it too late. Easter is about the right time to start planning Christmas charity stuff. So I was going to do an auction, but I want to know what people want in an auction. Scarlet smidge. There isn't any. It is rare as fuck. You'll never find it anywhere. There are people on, what's that thing on Lunchtime on BBC? They didn't see. They tried it on there, can't find any. So bargain, not bargain. Is it bargain end? I don't know. Yeah, anyway. So, yeah, like, if we were going to do an auction, what would you want? Would it be like, signed shirts? Would it be, like, if we could get, and I'm saying- Signed tickets to your local club. Boom. Yeah. So, yeah, if it was like your local club signed shirt, yeah, or something like that, what is it that you would bid money for, or what would you put your money in a raffle for? I'm thinking if it was like a Scarlet's Day where you could kind of have a tour of the stadium before and maybe meet the players or watch from the director's box. Do you know what I mean? What would make that day for you worth bidding for? And then I'm going to do it for Christmas. How much does a Scarlet's win cost? Oh, Christ. Not enough money in it. Not enough money in it. Seven and a half mil? Yeah. Seven and a half mil. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. How much would it cost to have nobody in the physio room? I mean, these are the things that you want to have. We'd have to go under. We have a Batman. Right. Anyway, let's start on the community game. So, Martin, give us your run. So, there weren't many games last weekend, were they? But you want to have a rundown of the tables and do you want to have a rundown of the games for this weekend? Yeah. So, there were no senior games at all last week. There were a couple of youth bowl and plate games. One we're not really bothered with was Caldicott Chester losing 8-19 at home to Abertyssug. And one we are bothered with is in the play quarterfinal where Carmarthen Quinns beat Morriston 20-0. So, they flew to the semi-finals. Happy days. If we go into the leagues and just have a quick look. We don't need to go too long because most of these are set out. So, we've got Llandyfri and Carmarthen Quinns in the premiership. Llandyfri have already qualified for the playoffs. Carmarthen Quinns, they're a little bit lonely down the bottom. They're just above me, seven points between them. So, they should be safe. And, you know, when Costello and Eoghan Lloyd come back to the Scarlets, that should mean Charlie Titcom goes to the Quinns. And they win every game for the rest of the season, which will not be good news for Cardiff. In terms of the league, you know, the top three are more or less set. I think Cardiff will make it. But there's a few games in there that I'm not quite sure on. And Pontypool and Pontypridd can both really fight their case to try and get for that fourth spot. But I do think the Rags will hold out, unfortunately. I always love seeing Cardiff fail to get anywhere. But that's just me. What did Pontypool have their points deducted for? Oh, I saw it somewhere, but I've completely forgotten by now. I'm really sorry about that. No, they didn't feel the team, didn't they? Because they couldn't find any front rowers. Oh, yeah, the front row one, wasn't it? Yeah, that was pathetic. Yeah, sorry, carry on. Okay, we go down to Championship West. And obviously, now at the top of the table, they should be playing sailing now for the rest of the season. They do still have to go to Brecon on the 30th of March. But, you know, they can lose that and still go on to win this league. Five, at least five promotion places. So, you know, there's quite a bit to play for here. Llangenis in third. They're pretty much sorted. It then comes down to, you know, that fourth and fifth spot. I think Bonn and Main are pretty much set with the games they've got left. But that fifth spot, Newcastle Emlyn and Krimith, they're both in that fight. So, they both could still be fighting for promotion by the end of the season, which isn't far away now. So, two games to them. Newcastle Emlyn, they get to travel to Bonn and Main on the 9th of March. And we have the return leg of Krimith, Newcastle Emlyn on the 23rd. So, by the end of March, we should have a really, really clear picture of who's going up and who's staying put. Armand Furder on the other team in the league. They're just not in a place to challenge for promotion. But they are, more or less, best of the rest. They're three points in front of Trevannos. So, they're doing pretty well, fair play to them. We go into 1 West, and this is another good league for us. So, we've got loads of teams in here. Three teams being promoted, and we finally get into a league where there's some relegation. So, we look at the bottom end of the table first. We've got Wittland at the bottom on 12 points, and Velenvol one place above them on 12 points. They've got four games in hand. Velenvol have got four games in hand on Wittland, and Wittland are running out of games, aren't they, really? Yeah. But the key is Velenvol haven't won many games. They've got two to their record. One of them was against Wittland. The draw that both teams have was against each other. So, I don't know where Velenvol are going to pick up any points to. So, even though there's only five games left for Wittland and nine games for Velenvol, it could still go either way. So, there's still that intrigue there. If we go up to the top end of the table, Cleffi Wandras, first place, 12 wins, one loss. I can't see anyone taking them. The league is theirs, and promotion obviously comes with that. Then it comes down to the next two places. Glyfhleinan, which obviously is not our worst. We've then got Buddyport. There's Gowerton and Kidwelly. Now, this is really exciting for me because there's a few games in there that I'm waiting to see what happens. Kidwelly have still got to play Glyfhleinan twice. Kidwelly can really throw a spanner in the works. They win both the end games. It just opens everything up. I understand, unfortunately, the two boys west. Two teams east of the Lacha are in prime position with not expected points, but total points available. But it's going to be fun to see how this one runs out. Other teams in the league, we've got Hendy, who are currently in sixth, and Aberystwyth in eighth. Now, we'll go on to two west. This is the league that has probably annoyed us the most this season just because we all thought Tenby would run away with it. They've flipped up a few times, and it has just been heartbreaking for them and for us because we spoke with Aled Waters, one of their coaches, a couple of times last season, and we were really invested in Tenby towards the back end of last season where they just missed out on promotion. Now it's coming to the same time of season, and there's only two spots in Division 2 west going up this year, so it might end up being the same thing again. So it's really, really hard to get your head around if you're a local Tenby fan, or even if you're a far-field Tenby fan, as some of us are. So, like we said, there's two promotion spots up for grabs, and there's three relegation places. So, as I like, I'll start at the bottom. Army United, three points. They've won one game all season. I'm sorry, but, you know, you're going to get what you pay for, and winning one game, you're not going to get nowhere. The Price, who are just above them, they're on 18 points, three wins. They do have eight games left, so that is one thing that they do have, but I can't see where any wins will come from. It's then this next place, which the relegation battle's going to be quite intense, because it's not just, you know, 10th and 9th. It's 10th, 9th, 8th, 7th, 6th, and 5th. There's literally six points separating 5th through to 10th, and it's going to be a reckoning. You know, there's too many games, too many interfections that it's going to decide who goes on or who goes up, but as I said, Ponteberry are down in that final relegation place. They've won five games and drawn two, which is really, really impressive for them. Coming off last season, you know, where they only won one game and lost 21, so they've improved massively. It'd be a huge disappointment to see them go down. You know, not that anyone else deserves to go in their place, but, you know, if Mumble decide to lose the rest of their games all season, you know, I'd be happy with that. So, middle teams, then, who were in there, Fishguard are on 30 points, you've got Nancoreddic on 31, Milford Haven and Carmarthen Athletic on 32, and then Mumbles was the last team on 33. Into the promotion battle now, and as it stands, you've got St Clair's in first on 67, Lacher in second on 53, Lampeter in third on 50, and Temby in fourth on 48 points. Now, you're thinking with St Clair's 67, Temby 48, what's going on there? Temby have got three games in hand over St Clair's, and there's a few tasty fixtures that come here, and Lacher are involved in three of them. So, hopefully, Lacher can lose all of them, and they can drop out. So, the first one we've got now is coming next week, not this weekend, the week after. The 9th of March, Lacher travel to St Clair's, and, you know, hopefully, St Clair will do us a favour, and they'll just go, you know, we'll just swap these guys away. I know that one win could be enough for, you know, Temby to push their way into that second spot. There's then Lampeter at home to Lacher on the 6th of April. Can I just say, and reiterate the point, no one likes Lacher. No one likes Lacher. No one likes Lacher. There are people in Lacher that refuse to support Lacher, because no one likes Lacher. Go on. Yeah, so we've got Lampeter against Lacher on the 6th of April, which will be a tasty one. We've got St Clair's at home to Lampeter on the 13th of April, and there's one game that hasn't been rearranged yet, which is Temby at home to Lacher. So, all three of Lacher's difficult games in this top four set are all away. So, I'm hoping, well, I'm more than hoping, I know that that's going to mean Lacher are going to start dropping down and someone else, either Lampeter or Temby, are going to take our place. But the way I've been looking at these fixtures, and it's very much possible that St Clair's, Lacher and Temby, with the way results are going, all end up on the same amount of points come the end of the season. So, this is a proper top four battle. I think Lampeter are probably just a little bit too far outside. They could force themselves into it with a few results going for them, but I think it might be a stretch too far. So, for me, it's St Clair's, Lacher and Temby, and I'm hoping it's going to be St Clair's and Temby that go up. No-one likes Lacher. Yeah. No-one likes Lacher. No-one likes Lacher. No-one likes Lacher. You know, you can go east, you can go west, north, south, well, you can go very, very south, you know, you can go south to Cornwall or wherever it ends up in Shetland, and, you know, they still hate them. I was on holiday in Mexico, and I took a boat trip out to an island in the middle of the Caribbean with nobody else there, just one guy and a palm tree, and I said, who's your favourite team? He said, I don't know, but I fucking hate Lacher. That's how bad that is. That's how bad it is. So, if anyone's been going on All Wales Sport lately, you'll notice they've put the promotion, the relegation places in. So, I clicked onto 3WSB when I was looking to see who's challenging, who's not. So, there's a top four with one promotion space who could all finish top, and then the rest are getting relegated. So, you're either fighting for the title or you can get out to the league. And, you know, from what we can see, there's a new reshuffle, so 3WSB and 3WSB are merging, blah, blah, blah, but that's a story for another day. So, at the bottom, we've got Llanabarder on four, Langham on nine, Pembroke Dockwinds on 21, Pembroke on 26. Neyland on 29 and St David's on 32. You know, none of them have really got much of an opportunity to force their way into that top four to escape relegation. So, I'd imagine they're already reserved to going into this new four west or three west, two, or however they decide to, you know, magic around this thing. So, if we look at the top four as it stands, we've got Aberaeron in first on 61, Halford West in second on 58, Cardigan in third on 57, and then with so many games in hand, they don't know what to do with themselves, Llan on 37 points. Play the games, is my suggestion. It is. So, they've got five games in hand on Cardigan. They do. There's so many games left to play for Llan, and the way I've looked at it, I've looked at all the fixtures that are scheduled. They've still got four games that are not scheduled, plus a possible cup semi-final and a final. So, the absolute earliest they will finish this season, if they make the cup semi and final, and they play every single Saturday, is the 25th of May. So... Don't book any weddings, boys. Nobody's allowed to get married until August. End of. They've got a long, old season coming. 25th of May is the Champions Cup final. It'd be a great day. It'd be Llan's cup final, because by all rights, they should... Doubleheader at the Tottenham Stadium, I'm hearing. I'm up for that. I'll definitely go for that. I'll pay the price to see Llan. To be honest, most of the people who are going to be there in the stadium for that game wouldn't know whether they were watching Llan or La Rochelle, to be honest. If you told them... If you just told them, yeah, that's La Rochelle that is, they'd go, okay, and then head to the bar like they normally do. So, the interesting pictures now in this league, we've got Aberaeron against Llan on the 30th of March, Haverford West against Llan on the 6th of April, and we've got... There's also Cardigan against Aberaeron and Llan against Haverford West, which haven't been scheduled, so there's a lot up to play for, and we'll just see how it goes. I think Llan are going to do it, but a slip up here, a slip up there, who knows what's going to happen. We go down to the 3 West B now. This is the last one we look at because, you know me, I take ages with this stuff. Same again, promotion, one place, six teams getting relegated, so that's not nice for anyone. So, we start at the bottom, as we do. We've got Tregaren on four points, Finnear on five, Llandiby on 15, Trimsaran, who I tipped for the league, stupidly, you know, finished second last season. Yeah, they'll go on, they'll have another good season, like hell. They're on 22, then Llangadog and Llandailo both on 29. Now, there is a relegation battle here, and Llandailo, Llangadog and even Trimsaran are involved in it, with the team above them, which is Furness. And Furness are on 32 points. So, it's going to be a fun one, a fun one for them, as I always say. You know, I can't see which way this one's going to go. Trimsaran got a few games in hand, Llangadog and Llandailo got games in hand over Furness. So, it's a tricky one to try and predict, I'd probably want to back Furness, because, you know, they are closer to me than the others. But, you know, there we are. Okay. Yeah, my girls, my girls trained on their pitch for the Stradies Offspan, so let's back Furness, come on. They helped the girls out, they deserve to stay in the league. Yeah, good deeds get rewarded. So, what's, what's the pictures like for this weekend, mate? Okay, for this weekend, we're going to play What's the pictures like for this weekend, mate? Okay, if we go into this weekend now, let me get onto my race page. Okay, there's loads, because it's a full round, you know, that national team with the prickly things, they're not playing. So, if you start at the top, as we do, Premiership, we've got Carmarthen Quinns at home to Aberavon. Championship West, we've got Crimmich at home Norbeth at home to Ammanford. Trebannos at home to Newcastle Emlyn and Llangennach travel to Estalvera. One West, we've got Aberystwyth at home to Velingvoel, Hendy travelling to Giseinan, Kidwelly hosting Wicklund and Buryport travelling to Pencloud. One West, we've got Bryn Arman at home to Birchgrove. Into two West, Lampeter at home to Carmarthen Athletics, Fishguard travel to Loughborough, Amunited head down to Mumbles, St Clair's at home to Pontyburym, Temby at home to Milford, and to Christ House in Nant Garedig. Three West A, we've got Cardigan at home to Pembroke. Pembroke dock, Quinns at home to Neyland and St David's at home to Llandyboda. Division three West B, we've got Binya at home to Llandyfi, Llangardog at home to Tregaran, New Dock Stars, Wahey! at home to Furness. That was the worst, worst Wahey or anything I've ever done in my life. I only did it a few and... It fell flat, didn't it? Well, it's... We lost the last game, so you've got to win me back. Got to win you back. Christ in hell, who would be his missus? All right. You've got Trim Saron at home to Bertus, Tumble at home to Kev Nathan. That's a big one to look out for in three West B. Finally, Welsh Central is Pennybank at home to Pantyburnan. And now, it's into the cup games because it is Cup Week. So, Premiership Cup, we've got Llandyfri at home to Edw Vale. No cup games in Championship Cups for some random reason, I don't know. We go into Division 1 Cup, the semi-finals. Llanelli Wondras will play both Welsh down at Blackwood. Glyn Eitha playing Mountain Ash in Abercymboe. Into Division 2, Aberavon Quinns are playing Pwthgol in Torn Mawr. Penarth are playing Llanaren in Bedwars. Into the Division 3 now, and this is a Cup quarter-final. Llan are at home to Brynceffin, and the winners will go to the semi-final to face Blaenau. Division 4 Cup semi-final, Llandwyth Major at home playing Torn Mawr in Pwthgol. Newp Antig against Newport Saracens in Nelson. Division 5, Cwmtyrch are playing in Cwmavan against Dinas Powys. Seven Sisters playing Ruth in second in Newtown. Down into the youth now, because there's still some games left over that, you know, flood in for whatever reason. Youth Bowl, we've got Gowerton against Abercanon. Youth Plate, we've got Bargoed against Ebbw Vale. Cwmathan Athletic are still due to play Ruth in, so we haven't had a fixture set for that, but we expect it to be sometime soon. In the youth Cup, they've actually gone through to the next stage, and they're playing their semi-finals. So, Llanduilo are playing Pen Llandanfant, and Ton Mawr are playing Cwsainan. And that is every single fixture you want to know about, and a lot of fixtures you don't want to know about. That's just the way it goes. I'll tell you everything, you know. Is it Easter yet? Can I open my eggs? Can I just take on one more point for you? I'm going to have a proper go at the WRU for the sake of the community game for you. Go on then. You've arranged Cup semi-finals and quarter-finals on a follow week of the Six Nations. So, most of these teams haven't played one game in five weeks. Where is the sense in that? You want these teams firing at their best. What is the difference between playing a league game this week, which every other team is, and playing this Cup semi-final, quarter-final, first week of April? So, they've had two more games to get a bit of form on. You want it to be exciting. You want these teams to be at their best. You want them to be at their best all the time, but you really want them at their best when it comes to the final knockout stages. It's just... People can complain and say they need to move Ireland versus Wales because someone's playing down in the community that day. So, they need to reschedule it to avoid the clash. They should. The national game, they've got the money. They can move it whenever they want. So, the community game doesn't have that luxury. They've got to play their game during daylight hours because otherwise they can't afford to run. Also, if you schedule... We know what we're like with fixture clashes in Wales these days and the WIU these days. So, if you schedule the Cup games at the same time as the Six Nations game, you're implying that no Gowerton players are going to get picked for Wets. And that's just... That's a slap in the face. You can't do that. You really can't do that, especially when they're not even in the Cup. Shows how much he's been listening to me over the last week. Cool. Right, OK. Well, as we've touched on the national team, so we're very, very briefly going to have a quick round-up of the national side. So, Hugh, what were your thoughts about the game on Saturday? I thought Wales... Well, I was messaging people before the game saying this could easily be 50, and it wasn't. So, it was better than we were all expecting. I think this game was always about how close are Wales to Ireland and the answer was closer than we thought. I thought we made Ireland work really hard. I think we made Ireland work harder than France did. But Wales' problems were with the ball. When we didn't have the ball, we were all right. When we had the ball, that's when we had problems. And so my magic number for this week is Sam Costello, 16 passes, 17 tackles. So, if you look down at his hands during the game, it was more likely that he had an Irishman in them than the ball. OK, that could be taken a few different ways there, Hugh. You need to be a bit more clear. I wondered if we had a decent 13 on the field and maybe a tidy crash-ball 12 with a bit of handling skills. You know someone like Eddie James? Things might have been different. I know people are joking when they say about Eddie James. I think in a couple of seasons' time, he will be... For the next World Cup, he's perfectly placed. He's the right age, he'll be coming through and as long as he stays injury-free the season before the next World Cup, yeah, he will be Wales' 12 at the next World Cup. Because there will be... Archie Hughes, Sam Costello, Eddie James, Joe Roberts, probably Tom Rodgers at full-back, and we'll have found two more winners by then. No, I'd say I thought Cam Wynne has been playing outstanding over the last years. My comment on Rafa, they keep asking me about George North and then I start talking about George North and then they all shut me down because I keep talking about George North again. And the point is this, it's very, very simple. He isn't a 13, he hasn't played there, he doesn't know how to play there, he can't defend there and if anyone wants to argue with that, go back and look at the video and see how many times he gets caught behind a ruck and he's not sure whether he's meant to be left or right and he gets caught biting in and he's waiting for somebody to tell him what to do. It's not fair on him, it's not fair on the players around him, it's confusing. Put him on the wing where he knows what he's doing and let him do what he needs to do. When he was running with ball in hand, he was actually quite strong. There were a couple of times during that game where he took the ball going backwards, you know, it's a scrappy ball, it's knocked on or whatever and he's taking the ball going backwards and he's made 10 yards, 15 yards, just pure grunt. You know, like an open sider or a number eight, just pure grunt. Let the guy do what he does best. Give him a bit of space and let him run at small people. Give him the ball at a head of steam and let him run at big people, yeah? And the guy will make you 10, 15 yards. Don't ask him to defend a really experienced, comfortable, confident back line where he's standing there panicking, arms flailing, do I go in, do I go out, what do I do, yeah? The amount of space that he's leaving outside him is unreal. So stop being, you know, we have to find somebody to play 13. George North has to play there because nobody else can play there. There are plenty of other people that can play there. Put George North on the wing, let him come on a crash ball off nine, off 10 and cause damage. That's what he does best. And for the love of God, I can't understand why. It would be like putting me at 10 because I've played a couple of games and I've played lots of games, yeah, but I've played them at number eight. Why put me at 10 where I've got no idea what I'm doing at 10 just because I've played a game? It's a different position. He needs to play on the wing, let him play on the wing and let's get the ball in his hands going forward. That's how you get the best out of George North. Go on, carry on. 12 is the interesting position at the moment. That's the one that everyone's talking about. Because I don't think Nick Tompkins has been bad. I just think... We need a big ball carrier. We need somebody to go 10 metres. Because George North is the only player in the... definitely of the back line, if not the whole team. You can give the ball, and he will smash over the game line. He's the only player. But, you know, the option's at 12. You've got Max Flewelling, who is sat on the bench at Gloucester. So that hasn't gone very well, has it, Max? You've got Bryn Bradley, who's sat on the bench at Harlequin's. Although he's probably going to get more game time now because Esther Hazen's off to the Sharks. You've got Keith from Neath. He's moving on. You've got Eddie James, who's only just literally played five games. So, you know, he won't be ready until at least a week after next. And who else have you got? Johnny Williams. Yeah, and that's the bit. I think if Johnny Williams is fit, he probably would be in there. It's simply because he gives you go forward. And for all his other faults, and his inability to stay injury-free, you know, he'd give you go forward. And that's what we need. None of the forwards are doing it. It's not happening in the forwards. And that's normally... That's where Ireland do it. Ireland can put who they want in the backs because it's the forwards that give them those 10 metres, 5 metres, 5 metres, 7 metres, 10 metres. And all of a sudden, you've got 40 metres up the pitch. Your backs can do what they want. They can fanny around with their hair. They can do ponytails. They can do their makeup and still score in the corner. Because they've got that platform. Well, to be fair, Johnny Williams is actually... He's a part of Team Wales because if you look at his suspension record, he is missing these games. So he must be in Team Wales because he's missing Team Wales games. I'm still pretty annoyed at that. Have you seen the Ray Lee law? Yeah. He's got a game in the Welsh Premiership, a semi-pro game, for a club he's never played for, as one of his suspension games. Where the fuck did they come up with that? Same place we got it for Luzano, mate. We all do it, you know, and it's ridiculous. It's disgusting. And look, I called it out recently with Johnny Williams. I'll say the same again. It's absolutely fucking bullshit. You've got nobody to suspend someone. Do it properly. Yeah. Punish him. OK. Anything else from the Wales game? Anything that we want to particularly discuss? It's nice to see other people sticking up for Sam Costello. Saying that, you know, the classic Welsh thing, the Paks getting monsters in hard reverse in the scrum time must be the Tens' fault. You know, kind of thing. He actually... If you look at... I'm going to post this tomorrow. If you look at the territory maps and possession maps, the England game versus the Ireland game. In the England game, we played mostly around halfway, if not in our half. And in the Ireland game, we mostly played in their half, or their 22. That's Sam Costello. That's having a proper fly half, at fly half. And his territory gains per kick were about 10 metres more than Neuron Lloyd's. So, it just kind of shows it. We only had the ball for 25% of the game. That's what the issue is. You can gain as much territory as you want, but if you've only got the... If they've got the ball three times as long as you've got it, they're going to do more with it. The other thing is, Kieran Hardy's not really doing anything off the bench, is he? I tell you, he did break up the game. He did break it. What he is good at is very quick tap-and-goes. And when he does a quick tap-and-go... I think I could do a tap-and-go quickly. You'd be surprised how few people do. And when he does it, he... Go and have a look at the amount of tries that he scored off tap-and-goes. And you go, oh, yeah. It's a very niche skill. But it's effective, because their forwards, they're not expecting it. They're, oh, apparently, all right, what happened there? And he's gone. And you're on the front foot, five metres ahead of where their back row are. And we did that twice. Thomas Williams did it once and Kieran Hardy did it once. And it instantly puts you way beyond them. And what it does as well is it makes them really conscious about giving away penalties. And when they do give away a penalty, they don't sit back and relax. They cannot switch off. And it's draining. It's draining for them. And if we were a bit more switched on, he'd have somebody with him that when he's gone past the first two men, he could offload to, rather than getting dipped on the floor and turning the ball over. That's the difference. So, to put into context, you know, how niche a skill this tap-and-go is, you'll only see a 9 or a 10 ever tap-and-go with a ball in his hand. You look at the 5-metre tap-and-go, you see the ball is always on the floor. To kick that ball and tap-and-go going forward at pace, it is a massive skill. And it's surprising how hard it can be to do. But when it's done right, like you said, that 10-metre advantage line, you know, for the defensive line, it's a lot more than 10 metres because you've already gone past one or two, like you said, and then that third man is thinking, hang on, I'm back far enough for you, and bang, you've given the penalty away. It is dynamite when it works, but we're just not, we're not creating the penalties, we're not switched on enough. I think Gatland's blind spot has always been attack. We've never had a good attack whenever we've been coached by Gatland. Has anyone figured out what rugby chaos is yet? But he needs to change because this whole picking-go and wearing them down and tiring them out thing, teams are all doing 6-2 splits on the bench now, and that doesn't work anymore. They just bring on a fresh pack on 50 minutes and then that actually doesn't work. So Gatland needs to either get some fresh ideas or bring in a new attack coach who's got fresh ideas and give that person the autonomy to say, look, come up with an attack that's going to work for us because bashing down the door with a sledgehammer isn't going to work anymore. So we need to come up with, you know, deception and detail and little moves and things. But all Welsh teams are the same. Wales, four regions, the under-20s, everything, all the same. No detail in attack. It's all, you have the ball, run at him, see what happens. Okay, now you have the ball, run at him, see what happens. All teams are the same. It's frustrating. Well, that's the problem. You don't even need to go into all this extreme detail. We need you standing here for this play. You can have everyone in the same position and have multiple plays going off depending on what the defence do. The first man bites in, you know, you do this. The second man bites in. There's so many alternatives that you can have. There was a play, I think, in Super Rugby a couple of years ago, I think, Bowden Barrett, when he was at the Blues his first season. And they played on the exact same set-up and they played it three or four times in the same game and it worked every time. And a different defender bit in on each occasion. And they just done it with ease. And I know that is New Zealand, and I say, oh, they're better. They're humans, they're people. They're not supernatural. They don't have, you know... But were they playing against Australians? No, I think it was against the Highlanders. But I don't know that it doesn't say much, but, you know, the Highlanders right now look a bit better because they got a start here. Well, yeah, former starlet Rhys Batchell going in. Instantly the best player in the whole of Super Rugby. Not a surprise to us. Obviously, if you're listening, Pads, come on the podcast. Yeah, please. When you talk about doing, like, trick moves and all of that kind of stuff, have you seen on YouTube and social media, it was a youth team. It was a line-up, yeah? And it's in the opposition 20 team. And the scrum-aff shouts something and they all seem to look at the scrum-aff. And then he gets his hands out, you know, like a pistol thing and starts pretending to shoot them. And as he's pretending to shoot them, they all fall down and there's one guy left at the front. So there's a hooker on the front guy. And the opposition go, what the fuck was that? And I'll take him around to look at each other. He pops into the guy at the front and he legs it from the 22 and scores. And you're all sitting there, you're like, genius! I don't think it would work at international level, but, you know, as a video of how to think differently on the pitch, it's just brilliant. I loved it. Speaking of videos, I've just been... So we were just talking before we came on air that rap TikTok has gone a bit crazy this week. So I was just having a look on my video, because my video was way behind Lee's and still is. But it was on 200 views like yesterday and now it's on 1,500. So I'm like, what's changed? So it's got a load of comments. I was just having to read the comments earlier. And an Irish chap and a Welsh chap have gotten into a bit of an argument. And that's why there's so many comments on it. So the Irish chap says, ref was shocking against Ireland. Not sure how he's got to that. And then the guy who's got a username that might not be the most PC, so I won't read it out. Has replied saying, no, he hasn't. And then the Irish guy comes back and says, yes, the ref said that your advantage had run out. That's not a thing. And it's like, no, that's definitely a thing. But anyway, so this goes back and forth for a few comments. And then someone out of nowhere, someone completely out of nowhere, who wasn't even involved in the original argument, comes back and says, have you been a bleep bleep all your life or was it a recent blow to the head? All capital S's. And that's it. That's the whole post. I love the fact that it was like, I did my recording, sent it to you, and you put it up there. And I just ignored it because normally it gets like 300, 400 views or whatever. And then I checked it on the Sunday morning. On Sunday morning, it was like three and a half thousand. And I messaged you. What's happened? What's gone on? I'm scared. I don't want to look at it in case somebody's like slagging me off and putting stuff on there. And it's scary stuff. Social media, boy, it's, you know, even when it's going well, you're a bit scared about why is it going well, you know? Yeah. You do think when, when you have a big video and it hits you like, have I done something wrong? Because sometimes you, because the thing about content creation is that like views compared to work, there's no, there's no link. So something you can spend weeks on does nothing and something that you can spend five minutes on goes crazy. So sometimes if you, like literally as you say, if you post something and forget about it and then come back to it and it's got thousands of views, you panic in a bit. You're like, what, what was that? Was it something dodgy in the background that's, and somebody's seen it and put it on a post, isn't it? Yeah. Anyway, let's, let's talk, before we talk Scarlett and the trip to Connell, let's talk about action at the park this weekend, which is the Thunder double header. So Hugh, you're the man in the know on this. So it's the last round of the Celtic Challenge. It's the last round of the weird playoff double header thing. So they had a double header up in Scotland for the first round. This is a three leg playoff. So they've done that. Now they've done, just this week, just gone a double header in Ireland. So there was a game at the Kingspan, I think. Yep. If not two. And Wolfhounds have been crowned champions. Never in doubt, I don't think so. So now it's the last round. Now it's the last round. So the last round is a double header at Park is Scarlett's. So it's Edinburgh versus Clovers. Clovers is an Irish team. And that'll be good. That'll be a high quality game. They're both two good teams. So I think that's on first. And then second is the Welsh derby again, which is Thunder versus Lightning. And yeah, looking forward to it. Looking forward to it. It should be, given that we got 700, I think, for the last game that we played at the Park, I think it's doable to get over 1,000 for this one. And that'll be fantastic. Yeah, look forward to it. Gwalior Lightning are very good. So it is a big challenge for our girls. But yeah, backing them. Backing them. They've managed to get a bit of confidence. They did a good job on Glasgow at home. And then they did another job on them away. And then I think we got a bit unlucky in a couple of games. And I think the fixture list kind of was a bit unkind to us as well. So looking forward to it, really. It should be a good game. And remember, it will be on Rugby Pass TV for anybody who can't be there in person. But it should be a good day out either way. Go on, Mark. Yeah, and I wanted to add another thing about this weird playoff system. Now, obviously, it's top three and bottom three split into these playoffs. And I thought that the table was going to be split down the middle. Top three would stay up there and the bottom three would stay where they are. But no. Gwalior are now locked in third place. So they've jumped up. It's just beggar's belief how they thought this was actually going to work in a favorable way. I mean, maybe a little knockout style would have been better. All development tournaments are the same. They've got this Six Nations Festival thing going on with under-18s and things. And that doesn't make any sense either. It's just three games. It makes six days. Yeah, and there's eight teams. So it's the Six Nations Festival. There's eight teams in it because rugby. And they all play three games each. It's just a rugby thing at the moment. It just makes no sense. My head is a bit boisterous. It's ridiculous. It is a real shame they didn't jump on the Rugby Europe Championship bandwagon. The two groups of four that they've got, three games each, and having a finals day, which wouldn't have been much extra work. But I want to add in this festival the stinginess of the WIU and how all they care about is money. The under-18s festival is in Italy. Obviously, three match days for everyone. Every stadium, absolutely free. Come in, come enjoy, come watch. And that's the boys. No men yet, boys. The girls, under-18s, is up North Wales. Tickets start from a tenner. Really? Yeah, to watch under-18 nationals. They're supposed to be spreading the love of the game, hyping it up. How are you going to hype it up if you're charging to watch under-18s? These are supposed to be the pinnacle of the game. You want people to come in. You're putting a massive barrier in place. You're paying that to go watch Britain or Gwalior, teams that only existed a few months ago. There just doesn't seem to be any sense. Unless they can make money, they don't care. I thought the general accepted entrance fee for under-18s was £3. My fingers are up if no one's watching on YouTube. Because you're stuffing your face. Sorry, I'm Jelly Snake. I do have a green egg as well, in case you're wondering. And I've been sipping a can of Dr Pepper. No product placement at all. Matt wonders why he doesn't sleep very well. It's nine o'clock and I'm recording. Right, let's move on to Scarlett's trip to Cornwald. First of all, we're going to Cornwald. And the weather is going to be absolutely atrocious. I don't even need to check the weather app. It's Cornwald. It's going to be pissing down. Blowing a gale. There'll be snow at halftime. There'll be a hailstorm with five minutes to go. There'll be thunder and lightning five minutes into the game. And then there'll be sunshine and you'll have to put bloody factors 50 on about 10 minutes into the second half. Back in eight, Conor. I'll go, though, because it's always nice. Go on, Eddie. What have you got on Cornwald, mate? So, URC make all their stats very accessible. Very accessible. So that's a good thing about the URC. Well done to them. So I've been able to get a bit of a crib sheet on Cornwald. So here goes. So their defence is ranked the second best in the URC. And that's with them already having toured South Africa. So that's good. They actually won a game down in South Africa. They beat the Sharks, I believe. They don't kick very much. So they're ranked 11th for kicking in the URC in total. We're ranked 16th. So it's not much of an advantage for us. So the bottom of the log for kicks retained. And the 12th for kicks from hands. But like I said, we kick even less than them. When they do kick, they kick off 10. More than they kick off 9. So discipline. They're very disciplined. They're ranked second for discipline in the league. So zero red cards so far this season. Third fewest pens and third fewest scrum pens. Again, we're bottom. So scrums and discipline and things, not something we're likely to get an advantage over them with. They've got the third most... The line-out is a bit weird. Third most line-outs lost, but also the most line-out steals. So basically on their own line-out, they're a liability. But on an opposition line-out, they're probably a bit more confident. That's maybe why they're... Go on, Mark, sorry. So we need 50 dead-on points for this game. Yes, basically. So they favour the front of the line-out. Maybe that shows the confidence that they've got in that. What else have we got? So in terms of home form, they're ranked right bang in the middle for home form. But remember that they play the Irish, the other Irish provinces. So they're the weakest team in Ireland. So they play... Are they the weakest team in Ireland? Ulster does a bit of shit at the minute. Cheapest. Cheapest, yeah. So 14 tries scored, 14 conceded in their five home games so far. Like I said, they play the other Irish provinces. Their average score at home is 27-21. But in terms of their actual attack, so they're quite middling. So they're quite middling for all of the main attacking stats, like defenders being in line, breaks, blah, blah, blah. They carry a lot. So they're the fourth most carries in the URC, but they've got the worst gain line success in the whole league. So this is quite an Irish thing. Irish teams tend to carry a lot and not necessarily make it over the top. Not necessarily make it over the gain line. Apart from Leinster, who carry the most and also get over the gain line the most. Because, bloody Leinster. They like to do a lot of short passes. Their top try scorer is a prop, Peter Dooley. I'll have to tell Mark that again. Isn't he the heaviest man in the URC? Do you remember him as the heaviest man? In Thalaba Kanye, who plays for the Lions is 153 kilos. So he's probably heavier than that. Sorry, for audio listeners, Mark's just come back. Mark, Conor's top try scorer is a prop called Peter Dooley. Oh, yeah. Come on, man. And JJ Hanrahan is the league's most accurate goal kicker. So they're going to take the three a lot. And then their key players to watch out for are Garfield Ford at 12 and Kilgallen at fullback. They're the ones who sort of make all the ball carrying and line breaks and things. They're a bit like us in that they play with the ball a lot, but they don't much care for territory. So it's kind of similar to us in that sense. So where can we target them? I think their line out. I think it's a bit worrying, a bit like the Munster game, because what Munster did to us, they just carried and carried and carried until we were knackered and couldn't walk anymore. And then they just scored tries whenever they wanted. So Conor might try and do the same thing, but hopefully a bit less effectively. A few less South African internationals at that team, either. If we put in a 60-minute performance like we did in Alaska against Munster, if we can learn from that, those 60 minutes, and kind of take the points when it's there, slow the game down when we need to, speed it up when we need to, those kind of things, I think we're in with a shout. I think it's a really tough place to go now with the plastic pitch and all that kind of stuff. It has made it a really tough place to go. But I also think that I almost, I don't care about the result. What I want to see is, are we starting to defend? We've made some coaching change rounds. Are those coaching change rounds having some effect? And for the love of God, can we please start defending tight? If we can work out how to stop people attacking around the side of a rock, half of the tries that we give away have gone, you know, and we're in the game. So I think our attack has actually been not bad. It's been patchy, but when it's worked, it's worked really, really well. I know you want to kick the ball more, Hugh, but I'm quite happy. If that's the style of play that we're going to develop, about we're going to run everything, then let's perfect that style of play and let's go with that style of play and work out who do we need, who needs to do what and how do we make this style of play work? Let's not just sit there and go, I hope if we keep playing it, we'll all start to work out that this is a good thing. We need to be aggressive about how we make that style of play work and we need to be clinical and that's the bit. There are too many opportunities where we've developed a three-man overlap where we're running from our own 22 and we've knocked the ball on or something stupid like that or we sucked in all of the back three and then we kick the ball straight into the outside half hand instead of putting it where the space is. It's stupid stuff like that that we've been doing that we need to aggressively get rid of. That's what I'm looking for in this game. Are we improving in defence? In terms of defence, we all saw an improvement in that Munster game and apparently Jarrod Vane only had three days plus a captain's run to get that defence in shape. Whether that's fact or not, that's what we've been told. We know Jarrod has been a success as a defence coach everywhere he's gone. Alistair's defence was brilliant for years. I can't remember the name of the French team he was at but he was brilliant there again. We know what he can do and he's had a few more weeks with this team so hopefully it'll be another step up. Maybe we've had some words with our conditioning team about maybe thinking about getting these boys ready for 80-minute performances, not 60. That'll be another step forward. That was an issue we spoke about last week after the Munster game. We spoke about it earlier in the season about our new conditioning coach, about what the old Alistair fans felt about him. That's the main thing I want. I just want the boys to be on the field for 80 minutes and actually be able to perform for 80 minutes. That's probably the most important. Maybe a few tinkers in selection. We mentioned we wanted to come to Stardom 10. I wanted to come to Stardom 10. He actually might because, as we have seen, Dwayne doesn't seem to be fussed about away games. He did it to him in Leinster but at least this time if it happens he can't top and change that many players because we don't have that many players available. One thing I want to see this week that's different is tactical substitutions not for the sake of it. Bringing Gareth Taylor off for 40 minutes, why? There was no tactical benefit in bringing him off. No tactical benefit in bringing Sam Lowsley off. Half of the substitutions that were made made absolutely no sense for the time in. I wouldn't be bothered. I know we spoke about it just now about a 6-2 bench. I wouldn't be bothered if we went for a 6-2 bench had Evan Jones and Eoghan Nicholas because they could cover every position between them. I know Eoghan's not exactly a specialist with 10 but he has got some experience there. Our forwards are where we need the game. Like you said, we need to defend in type better. Six forwards on the bench might help. It also helps not having to send someone like Ben Williams who's improved massively throughout the season back down to the quins where if he gets used to that standard again it's going to be a bigger step up when he comes back. I'd go with that. With what I've just said about them trying to carry us to death 6-2 split makes sense but I'm a big fan of the 6-2 split anyway. I don't see the point in a 5-3 anymore. I'm a big fan of make the fuckers stay on for 80 and have no bench. Come on, back in my day we used to be able to do this. In my day we had to fake an injury in order to get a substitution. We had to take a blood pill. I do genuinely remember a game where it was before substitutions were introduced and it was a school game so it was like under 12, under 13 or something like that and it started hailing and our school pitch was as far away from the changing rooms. It was like a 5-10 minute walk back down to the changing rooms. It was in the middle of a load of pitches, it was completely exposed and it was hailing and then it was like a hail shower and it stopped and you could see the boys and then it started hailing again and about four of the backs went down with an injury. You fannies. You absolute fannies. I've hurt my knee. I've hurt my knee. I can't carry on. It was ridiculous. Four of our backs went off in the middle of a hail storm. Back in the good old days. Churchill was PM. It was there for the taking afterwards. Anyway, so what do we need to do against Conor to win? Score more points. There is that. How do we score more points than Conor? Okay, two points to that. How do we stop Conor scoring more points than us and how do we make sure that we score more points than them? So who wants to go with defence? Don't let them cross our line and don't give them penalties. You two could be on bloody Scrum 5 with this level of analysis. You know that, don't you? Scrum. We saw against Cardiff, they didn't actually offer that much in attack so hopefully they're going to offer the same sort of level against us and if we do fall out for the following day the defence we saw against Munster would be more than good enough to last the full game over there. I think we need to go with something similar to a blitz defence from the start and just put massive amount of pressure on 10 and 12 and force them into doing stuff that they're not comfortable with. Put them on the back foot. Just be openly aggressive. Get in their faces. Start giving them some of this. Start giving them the nudge. Start giving them a little bit of a stamp on the foot and all of that kind of stuff. Get in their face. Get in their ribs and put them off their game early. Get nasty. We're not nasty enough. Since we lost chip ball, there's nobody there that's willing to strangle somebody in the middle of the pitch for calling him ginger. We need a bit of nastiness in that pack to really make people feel what we're going to do and that's where we need to be. That's why I think that Jarrod Taylor I thought Plumtree had a little bit of it about him and I think that Jarrod Taylor's got a little bit about him as well. We're still on from my prediction of Tame Plumtree coming back from Wales, getting immediately injured, coming back from injury and getting sent off in his first game. That is still very much on the cards. Yeah, absolutely. And I would expect nothing less because there'd be a fire in his eyes that just goes, I'm going to have someone. Someone's having it. I've got a lot of pent-up anger. Someone's having it. But I think we do. We're too nice. We let people get away with stuff. We don't referee the game ourselves well enough. We don't inform the opposition where the offside line is and we don't encourage them to go back past the offside line in a nice, friendly, encouraging way. And that's what we need to do. The idea of a blitz defence from the off it would probably suit us at the minute because we've got a nine with the pace and the tackling ability and tenaciousness to cover anything that comes through. We've got Dinky on which I'm probably expecting it because he went with Dinky for his 150th in the last game. He's probably going to want to keep it the same. But it's Keel. So who knows? But we know Dinky can tackle as well. So we've got a good half-back pairing who can cover that in behind should that blitz defence get broken in that first line. So why not? What can we lose? We've already lost 300 games this season. Almost 301. Let's try something. I can honestly say I've got no idea what team is going to get picked. But hopefully now a bit of the change around in the coaching team, a bit more stability. That coaching team will know who's staying and who's going next year. And we should be in a position where we can start building. On that note, we've had our first win of the season. Oh yeah. I forgot that happened this week. Yeah, Tom Rogers. Sorry, our social media team was like everyone else is doing funny videos. We should do a funny video. What's funny? Oh, he likes coffee. That's funny. Let's film him getting a coffee. It's in the Scarlet coffee lounge. I'm not quite... There's something quirky about you, Tom. I like a coffee. Yeah, brilliant. Well, the video, it was alright. But it's supposed to keep it a secret, the whole thing. And you see the TR on his shirt pretty early on. And you're like, we know who it is, man. Come on, boys. I like Tom. If you spoke to me about a year, year and a half ago, I would have said he's destined for great things. Like really great things. He hasn't quite kicked on as much as I would have expected him to. Like, I really would have anticipated him being the 15 in this Wales team right now. Now, I know he's injured and whatnot, but he hasn't done anything to show that he deserves that spot. I don't think he's even first choice 15 at Scarlet. Nah. That's what I mean. I don't know who is. Whoever gets there first, I think. They all put their shirts on the halfway line. And they all start at a different corner. And when he pops the balloon, everyone gets to go. That's it. That's got to be the way selection works. It's the only thing that makes sense. OK. So, let's get some predictions in. Let's wrap up with some predictions. So, Huw, let's have your prediction for Scarlet. 29-27 to the Scarlets. OK. Cool. Martyn? Ooh, this is a tough one. We're going to get the win, obviously. I've already been right twice this season with my predictions. Well, because you've only won twice. Exactly, yeah. No, I'll go... 26-15, Scarlet. Come on. I feel happy because Italy's the last game for Wales so Joe Roberts is definitely coming back to us. OK. So, I predicted a Conal win What? Yeah, I just... Can I kick him out? I just think that there's a lot of stuff that needs to be changed and perfected. I think on a good day it's probably a draw but I think I said Conal by 5 so I'm going to go 10-5. As long as I can see something in defence, something working in defence and we're not leaking stuff around the corners of rucks and in tight I'll be happy. So, yeah, I'm going to go 10-5 to Conal and referee's struck by lightning at half-time and I'll have to change him and then a bald-headed referee comes on and gets sunburned and second-degree burns in the second half. Do you know who the ref is yet? I'll wait for my email, I'll notify you. Right, OK. So, yeah, it's... I mean, I always predict the Scarlets win I just can't see it. Because you're a traitor. I can see it in you. It's because they said they're the same club as Llanelli RFC you're way better. I'm going to have to edit that bit now, aren't I? Oh, here we go. Right, anyway, so let's not forget 200 YouTube subscribers and I will put my Beyoncé dance on our YouTube channel and can I have your ideas for charity auctions? What would you like us to auction off for charity or do something charity-wise for Christmas? Because I'm just going to give it back. Lee will do a naked run around the Pembrokeshire coast. No, no, I've already... I said that on the Rat thing my only thing will be that nobody does anything naked because I've got my mate Carwyn that started the Rat podcast with me, that's the first thing that will come to his head. We're doing something for charity that means we're doing it naked or we're getting naked. There'll be nakedness in this. It's one of those things that I can guarantee Carwyn is sitting there going, what do you mean I can't do it naked? Why won't you do it naked? Go on, I'll pay you to do it naked. It's just the way he is. I've got one for Carwyn he can do. He can tuck like a drag queen does. If you've ever watched RuPaul's Drag Race you'll know what I mean. I think someone should pay all three of us to go to a Scarlet's game in Mankini's. That would pay a lot of fucking money. Exactly. That's a big earner. And it's not going to charity. You do say you need money for it. Here I am, I haven't got my size. I've got one for you. Let's wrap that one up there. Thank you very much for your time this evening. Enjoy your rugby this weekend. We'll come back and do this all again next weekend. Smiles and happy faces all around. Enjoy it boys. All the best. Thank you for listening to the Scarlet's Fever podcast.
