Thanks very much for checking out this new blog. The first official post isn’t up yet, but I like your enthusiasm. Well done you! You will be rewarded with interesting rugby comment over the weeks and months to come.

This year promises to be an exciting one with the Lions touring Australia in June. First up though is Wales’ defence of the Six Nations and that will be the topic for the first blog post (online Monday 28 Jan).

Stay tuned and thanks again.
