Can I join with the Member in congratulating the success of the teams? I know the Member invited the teams recently—I think last week—to the Chamber to celebrate their success. I share with you an enthusiasm for the game of rugby in all forms. Indeed, my youngest daughter competed recently in the Urdd tag rugby tournament, here in Cardiff, and she enjoyed herself immensely. The Member will be aware that qualifications are independent of Government, but we are also, as you know, developing our curriculum. The areas of experience and learning are currently being developed at this time, and I’m sure an opportunity for children to participate in this sport will form part of that.

Presiding Officer, with your indulgence, can I take this opportunity, on behalf of all Members, to wish our national team the very best for their opener in the autumn internationals against the Wallabies on Saturday, and express our condolences to Alun Wyn Jones, who had been expected to captain the side on Saturday but will not be able to do so because of the death of his father?
