RADIO JEM???

What next????

Hiya Robert :-D :-D :-D

Not sure what you mean!

Do you mean, Radio Jem! what next! :-D

Or Radio Jem ... what's next? :-S :-D


If the first! :-D
The nickname Radio Jem was bestowed on my Rugby Threads by a much missed GR member, and it stuck! :-D :-D


If the second?

NO IDEA! :-D :-D :-D

When I introduced this particular rugby thread I did not know about Sky Sports grabbing all television rights (except for the Scotland tour of Japan which which will be broadcast by BBC) So at present I'm not sure what format this thread will adopt

Also there are the broadcasting times factor to consider and also the clash of dates of UK and Ireland tour games.

SO I WILL HAVE TO PUT MY THINKING CAP ON THIS WEEK!

ANY FEEDBACK / IDEAS WILL BE WELCOME FOR CONSIDERATION! :-) :-)

Whatever it is Jen, it will be worth reading.

Whatever it is Jem, it will be worth reading.

Thanks Robert! :-) :-) :-)

Hello Ashton, a little cutie Jem. I'm sure baby will be kitted out before too long.

My brother bought a toddlers footy kit for our grandson...... kind thought, but it
was a Yorkshire team that he supported and daughter/son in law lived in the
North East and passionate NUFC supporters. Suffice it to say a "Thank you"
card was sent for this gift but Jack never did wear the football strip.
Our daughter passed it on to a work colleague who supported the Yorkshire
team and was delighted to put her son in it.... all's well that end's well ha ha.

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Thanks Kandj <3

After checking with my Granddaughter-In-Law, who thinks they are very cute, I have sent for these from WRU for Baby Ashton! :-D

Thanks Det :-D <3



THEN HE WILL BE READY FOR HIS MASCOTTING LESSONS FROM HIS AUNTIE FLY! ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D <3

THE UNDER 20s WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2016 ...
.... got underway today in Manchester!

Due to a little arrival ;-) <3 ... I had to watch it from the recording box! :-D


WALES U20s played IRELAND U20s in Manchester kicking off at 5.30pm.

Wales U20s went into a comfortable early lead, but by half-time Ireland U20s were only 2 points behind them at 20-18.

In the second half, Ireland U20s dominated the play, but Wales rallied toward the end, with Keelan Giles scoring a fantastic try at 78 minutes.

A conversion would have given Wales Unders the victory by 1 point, but sadly, this was not to be. Replacement Kicker JARROD EVANS missed the conversion, which was the order of the day, as Kicker DAN JONES also missed his conversions.


FINAL SCORE

WALES U20s 25 ~ IRELAND U20s 26


WALES PLAYERS OF THE FUTURE...
.... KEELAN GILES who is signed to Wales Club OSPREYS is certainly one to watch for for the Wales Senior Squad:-)

Jem and all friends on the Rugby Thread send our heartfelt sympathies to Our Tec and his family <3

RIP Duchess <3
