It may not have been a World Cup but Ian Foster, the All Blacks coach, emphasised that they want to win every match. If other teams, including most notably England, needed to understand the levels they need to attain, look no further than Lansdowne Road on Saturday. I was there, partly because I had […]
Autumn Internationals – Work in Progress 2023 ???? We all want to celebrate the return of International Rugby with crowds and let us be a little more understanding of the difficult protocols still in place for players and management! It is not easy and by and large we can be grateful. I sense that the […]
PLAYING FOR THE SHIRT Apart from the thrill of returning crowds, we have seen a real celebration of rugby skills on show in the first two months of the season. The Premiership, in particular, continued where it left off at the end of last season together with the resurgence of a Leicester team which has embraced its heritage but with a wonderful extra twist of flair, inspired by George […]

It was compulsive viewing and sheer sporting brilliance matched with near […]
We have witnessed a remarkable summer of sport in unique circumstances and with many inspirational narratives, kicked off in many ways by that wonderful England football side who came so close but won the hearts of a nation. The 2021 Olympians had to wait another year to fulfil their dreams after last year’s cancellation and […]

Enjoy commentary and a Q&A with ex England and Lions Rugby legends Simon Shaw, Danny Grewcock and Lee Byrne, along with South African […]
I saw some footage of the 1974 Lions Tour of South Africa recently. Punches and kicks rained down, premeditated thuggery, the legendary 99 call. JPR running in from 40 yards for a fight – more yardage than any back has managed so far on this tour! Then think to the brutality of the second test […]
