6:47 pm
for that there's a great chance for us to reset and do things better. i think some really positive, tough decisions but really positive decisions but really positive decisions about the game in wales to predict the game in the future. there is no doubt that the success of the national team in the past, a lot of these issues were here but we probably paved over the cracks and they didn't come to the forefront of they didn't come to the forefront of the forefront. probably for the better. there's a chance to fix a lot of the things that needed fixing. while the pandemic may have officially ended for many people covert is still a concern. something that can be for british rower 0onagh cousins who retired from the sport three years at the contracted long covid. rowing had always been at the centre of 0onagh cousins's life at the start of 2020 she was on the cusp of our first 0lympics. but then
