There will not be a single article to do justice to this theme, which is debated and pondered over in both the theory and practice.
Firstly, let us celebrate a contest for the ages, showcasing English club rugby in rude health, with scenes of intense drama at the iconic Recreation Ground, often voted the most picturesque rugby venue in the world. As someone who played there and lived in the city for a decade, I can certainly attest to that. […]
First, some plaudits which may have been missed in the sensational last weekend of a 6 Nations series which had everyone on the edge of the sofa or else hiding behind it. Ireland have won 5 trophies in the last 5 years, a record a certain other country and many others would give their right […]
This headline recalls the original, dramatic reasons behind the Trojan War, or the time when US wines were favoured over French wines in an unforgettable and unprecedented tasting.

In 1991, as I strived for a starting place on the wing against the mighty All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup…
