shane and phillips saved the try with yet another brave tackle. shane is a fantastic defensive winger, not only does he do more defensive work than most players, he covers everywhere on left and right , he also has the pace to get there so no one ever goes round him, his kicking game is very good as...

the whole way its produced needs to be addressed by people with a feel for the game. not the number cruncing school spanner types obsessed with viewing figures the coverage and the anchor man have lost all sense of wonderment and innocent charm of the years gone by. my namesake burly bill mclaren wa...

at least jiffy discusses both teams which is more than inverdale moore dallaglio and healey have done, it is shameful and unnecessary ignorance. guscott has in fairness been more open minded and actually discussed the merits and de merits of all sides. thats what true fans want to see.

yes I agree jiffy is looking smug and andy nichol is pretty uninspiring but at least they know their rugby at least they discuss its complexities with the care and passion it deserves. I think gabby whasther name is also awful as are the 2 female pitch side interviewres, 1 of which was demanding mic...

Henson has never lost a 6 nations game

that he started in

Henson was fantastic yesterday.

Im not sure how many games that is in his career although its double figures, that statistic is startling and tells a great deal about how vital henson is to wales, about what a class player he is and what a winner he is

Vintage welsh rant off Gwlad!

ok Im sorry to hear of his injury. I simply dislike the way he presents rugby. He sucks all the magic and richness out of everything. he may be the anchor but he dominates proceedings and the basic show from the start to finish. he's the type of anchor who's get pele on and talk over him. In fact I ...

Inverdale has got to go- Please

Believe it or not inverdale has gotten consistently worse. someone someday must have told him he was charismatic or funny or something. that person who fluffed up his ego is guilty by assocation. every word is just bottom drawer sarcasm and cheap laughs, "oh jonathon what do italy need to do?&q...
