Highlight of the opening 6 Nations weekend? Newport Gwent Dragons
There I’ve said it. The genuine highlight of the weekend had to be Will Harries’ beautiful solo effort shortly after the French gave up at half time in Scotland.
Ireland Vs Italy:
Both sides poorer than expected, opening weekend rustiness or not. There were brief glimpses of Craig Gower not being another ‘Bergamasco’ but all to brief. Read More »
Attoub enlists Lee Byrne's legal team for appeal
Or at least he should. Lee Byrne’s appeal has gone remarkably well and on the most part, without enquiry as far as I can see. It seems to me that there has been a dramatic turn around on the behalf of the Independent Disciplinary Committee who less than a week ago told us:
The independent Disciplinary Read More »
Ulster give Bath a pasting before they have even kicked off
Go On Ulster. Not something you will here very often from a proud Munster fan but I mean it, Go On Ulster. Whilst twittering away a bit of time earlier I came across this update from Ulster rugby cracking, fair play to ‘em. International rugby for a tenner, can you say fairer than that?
It got me Read More »
Nearly all Six Nations Squads Announced
What have we learnt?Read More »
England have selected every qualified player in the country.
Wales have stuck with the squad that got them fourth place last year, adding a couple of teenagers in the hope no-one would notice.
France don’t mind a drunken tall story but do mind a tall off form full back.
Ireland are confident enough to go Read More »
Wales Squad, Same Same no Difference
Warrens announced his options for the coming months, not much new here. Although it was a fairly good weekend for the Welsh sides in the Heineken Cup, I can’t see there being any real change in fortune for the side in this years tournament. The only shining light I see coming through is the Scarlet’s Read More »
England Six Nations Squad Announced
Was it really?
Good man Johnno, it seems he has the ability to manage the press off the field like he did the Ref on it. I’ve just read the bbc’s report on the squad and am left a little empty to say the least. Don’t get me wrong, I will be as happy as anyone to Read More »
New Year, New Henson, 3D Rugby
So then, the new year is upon us. As usual I hit the grog a bit too hard and have only just found my list of new years resolutions. The only one of these I might possibly keep is to keep you fellas informed of my current viewpoints a bit more regular.
So along with the Read More »
Williams back for Wales, Ireland stick to their guns
Wales have their star back and their pop star back on the bench for the France game. Thankfully Gatland hasn’t gone for Henson to start and so hopefully the hero worship of a win won’t be entirely placed upon his shoulders. Ireland have stuck with the team that have got them to the top of Read More »
Six Nations Halfway Stage
[table=2]
This years Six Nations at the halfway stage. Good to see Ireland in pole position heading towards the biggest weekend of the tournament. Genuinely Ireland, although shaky at points against Italy, looked their best for seasons in closing out a great French side. O’Driscoll is looking his sharpest for seasons and O’Connell seems to be Read More »
