I was hoping Lestyn would do this but you're going to have to put up with my drivel. Read on for latest news and views on the Welsh game.
Young Rugby Star Dies At 23
Here are some words from Derrick King chairman of Bridgend RFC
“How very sad it was last Saturday to learn of the death of Darryl Dyke at 23 years of age. Darryl graced the Brewery Field in the summer playing for the Bridgend Blue Bulls and was an outstanding player for the Bridgend Athletic Club. He had also played games for our clubs youth team and was the brother of our player, Richard Dyke. He was an extremely popular young man and will be greatly missed by all those fortunate to have known him. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, our thoughts are with them at this very sad time.”
There is a thread on the messageboard on the subject, feel free to leave your own message of condolence:

Bonus point win keeps Cardiff in the hunt and Leeds win today throws it wide open.
It was also all about Lomu but nice to see the Wales boys back as well.
They are dark horses at the minute, if it clicks there it could be something.

Comments:
- Ospreys side much changed from one first announced
- Cashmore can't tackle
- Ospreys wings in great form
- Ospreys tackling shocking
- Henson on way back
- Ospreys pack scrummaged well but everything else was shocking
- Andy Goode is fat and irritates the hell out of me
- English club rugby is very boring, ever heard of a centre with skill?
