There’s an old adage in rugby that there’s no way to deal with speed on the field, this sums it up really well: httpv://youtu.be/gA5bwqVN5LM The Player is Carlin Isles, who sadly doesn’t appear to have any Welsh blood in him.
I had made 2 predictions for today’s rugby internationals: Wales to beat Australia by 5 points New Zealand to beat England by at least 30 points How wrong was that? How on earth could I have been so far away from the right results. After all, I do think I know a little about the…
New Zealand, or is that The New Zealand All Blacks, or is it just the All Blacks? I was confused when I heard the announcers refer to them as all of the above, but there is no denying the power of their brand, a brand that not only commands respect but, far too often, demands…
It was on 13 November 2009 that Ryan Jones came back to the Welsh team and delivered a storming Man of the Match performance against Samoa. We can but hope he will do the same thing tonight, for he remains a class act and Wales needs him to shine once again. And I chose this…
It was a good result tonight for the Blues against the Dragons, despite the fact that the overall quality and entertainment value of the match was low. Great too to see Jamie Roberts back in action, the half hour he played will aid the healing process just as much as all the physio has in…
Warren Gatland’s appointment as the Coach to the 2013 British and Irish Lions was not unexpected and it is highly deserved. He is a thoroughly excellent coach, but also someone who can build and manage a team of coaches and staff to ensure success on the field. He now faces a great preparation period when…
When our Sam was sent off in the World Cup match against France it was one of those moments: some said it felt like the air had been sucked from their lung, it was such a big moment.
I know, it’s a while since we won the Grand Slam this year, but I have to mention a couple of things: 1. The Team : Wales are now a wonderful team: they are committed, physically intense, supportive, creative, intelligent and it was marvellous to see that all their tries were scored by the backs. 2….
At the start of the Competition I wrote about my 8 hopes for the tournament, I ended up being disappointed by just about all of them! First off: the French team only turned up for the final and even then could proably have made a better fist of it. Second: there might not have been…
Congratulations to the All Blacks on becoming world champions yesterday. A really well deserved crowning of a great side. One area they’ve significantly improved in is their pre-match Haka. Check this out for the way it was done in the 70’s httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unHsrJ8TYmU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Whilst Rugby might be a team game sometimes it delivers acts of true brilliance. In this clip Shane Williams defeats a defence by running towards them, truly brilliant!
The greatest sporting event in the world started yesterday, my opinion of course, and for the next 6 weeks we will see fantastic athletes knocking lumps out of each other in the best possible spirit of sportsmanship and respect. And as the competition starts, I wonder what would make it great? Here are some of…
