Given all that has happened in Welsh rugby recently, it’s probably a good time to take a breath and have a proper discussion about it all.

So, this Friday at 12.30pm, we’ll be hosting a live chat with our Inside Welsh Rugby paid subscribers. It comes, of course, after Warren Gatland's exit and Matt Sherratt's first Wales team selection, while the hunt for a new permanent head coach and director of rugby is on.

So if you are a paid subscriber, we look forward to diving into the good and bad of Welsh rugby on Friday.
