The farming minister has says changed will be made, but a public consultation will first take place. The initial plans meant farmers had to use 10% of their land for planting trees.

Wales suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Ireland on the weekend. Expectations were low for the national side, who have failed to win in Dublin in 12 years, but the thirty one to seven loss showed plenty of weaknesses for a young side in transition.
