Can I commend this report? I think it's a really good piece of work and brings six very coherent and connected recommendations, and we're debating this the day that test cricket starts again. I'm not sure if any play has been possible today in Southampton, as July continues to pretend it's October, but to see the West Indies again—and many commentators think it's the best side they've fielded since the 1980s—lifts the heart. Many people that no longer, like me, are playing cricket, have retained a great desire to watch it. So, I think, for public morale, elite sport is very, very important.

We see our two championship teams, Swansea and Cardiff, with a chance of the play-offs, particularly Cardiff, and I do extend my best wishes. A bit disappointing, the result last night, but still, they've made a really good return to form in the last few games and have picked up very valuable points. So, I'm still very hopeful.

I do commend the broadcasters as well for putting so much of premier and championship football on free-to-view on television. I am a keen watcher of the football. It's a strange, vacant, echoey experience at the moment to watch these games behind closed doors, but it's a lot better than nothing.

When it comes to rugby at the elite level, I am profoundly worried that it is in much more difficulty than even football is, and footballing, we have to say, is at elite level, quite distinguished between premier and championship and then the lower leagues, which do not have television income and are in much more difficulty. But I think professional rugby in Wales is facing a crisis. This will have a big impact on our national team as well, if we're not careful, but certainly regional rugby, and on our ability to attract big events and, really, what we feel as a nation. So, these things have to be very, very carefully looked at, and I do hope the Welsh Government can work with the professional authorities to ensure that as much of our rugby culture survives as is possible.

But, quite rightly, our main focus was on community sports' scope for the people, and I do think the way we've connected things like the need for physical activity, the need to connect sport and public health is very, very key, in my view. As we just heard from Mick Antoniw, we do need to concentrate our resources in the poorest communities, which often have the least amount of open space and good sporting facilities. So, I know councils looking at this to ensure that they get the maximum support possible as things open up again.

I think recommendation 2 is very important—the way we work with local authorities to support community sport and clubs. Again, there should be some bias, I think, to those in most need in the more marginal communities, because the work there that goes on and encourages people of all ages—. There's a sport for everyone to play; that's the wonder of it. But also, for our children and young people, having sporting opportunities is so important, and it's not all based at school; it needs to be based in the community as well.

So, I'm delighted to commend this report, and we're very grateful, Deputy Presiding Officer, that time has been given to discussing this report, as it was recently to our report on the arts sector. These are very, very important areas, but not always do they receive the attention, perhaps, they need for the health of national life. So, again, I commend your report. I thank the Chair for her leadership, and also our secretariat, who enabled us to carry out this excellent piece of work.
