2. Finn Russell
It's all he said he said as coach Townsend claims Russell quit after a late night drinking session, Russell says he's not happy with the way the team is managed.
“The current situation, set-up and environment, I don’t think I want to play in that. I don’t think it’s good for me as a person or as a player,” Russell told The Sunday Times.
Either way, Finn Russell was a no-show this year.
8. RFU Disavows Eddie Jones.
Jones made some unsavoury comments about the refereeing of England v Wales, after two English players were sent off, prompting RFU to apologise to the ref publicly.
“At the end, we were 13 against 16, it’s hard.
“When you have got a three-man advantage, you are going to do some damage. That’s what happened.
“We had a numerical disadvantage, so it was tough.”
When he was asked who the 16th man was for the visitors, Jones replied: “You work that out.”
10. The Scottish Trip
Not wanting to be out done by Public Health England, Public Health Wales decided that not only could all the players turn up, but all the fans should too.
Despite a raging global pandemic, Scottish fans were assured the Wales v Scotland match was on. So they came down by train and by car (and by bus).
Only to find, last minute, guess what?
No match. Croeso i Gaerdydd.
3. Storm Dennis
Did he take his finger off the ball too early? Only in rugby could this have been the most talked about event the day after. Dennis had the ball going this way and that, kicked balls flying backwards, and both teams refusing to not kick the ball despite gale force boomerangs.
