Quinnell is a smart guy. He recognises that they are two different sports with similar elements. I wish more people would understand that.

I spotted that too, it's the way to go, big name with Thomas, then Powell, then hopefully get some scintillating Welsh backs into the side.

I've seen him play Union a time or two, and as others have said, five to ten years ago would have been a good time to switch; I think he still can but with limitations. If he does switch, I suspect he'll make a few interchange appearances, then he'll be tried out as a starter.

Good luck to him for having the nerve to try at this stage of his career. It may not be a long one, but I think it could well be a good one. If all it does is stir curiosity amongst possible supporters, it's a good thing - some may even stay!

That may be the point of the whole exercise.

Makes a change for the boot to be on the other foot. And if they don't want to come, just say they weren't really Welsh anyway. Oh.

Gabby Logan is a first class idiot.

Now, I would'nt want to mention that it takes a particular sort to rely on your dad's exploits as a footballer to 'make it' in the field of journalism, but perhaps Logan can perhaps do a bit of research into the fine and pround history that our code has when it comes to multicultural matters.

I know this may be too much to ask of Gabby as she gets her leg over with that fella who played on the wing who was the epitome of mediocre, but surely it is not too ask that she remembers which code used to ban its players from playing a particular sport and the 82 (IIRC) year gap between a black player representing the England team (1906-88)

so much for RL backs not being good enough as union backs when an over the hill, crocked RL prop can make it in the english backline

fail

And so far only as far as I recall.

Really hope they're not just using him as a publicity stunt - legendary rugby player who deserves better then that.

I wonder is there any way that anyone knows to pass comment/respond to that remark by Logan.
