As the Six Nations decider between Wales and England fast approaches, there are still some Lions jerseys up for grabs. Here are five matchups that will shape Warren Gatland’s team.
The tournament that never was? One that had promised so much only six weeks ago has been mired in damp weather and despairingly bland tactics. Will the final weekend deliver?
Nine articles and one video worth investigating, ranging from Ireland to Canada to Australia to Scotland. Bad weather, bad scrums, bad refereeing, potential Wallabies, potential Eagles, and life after rugby.
Eddie Jones has selected 41 players to compete in the Asian Five Nations as well as the revamped Pacific Nations Cup, including a recall for World Cup star Kosuke Endo.
The two biggest risers from this week were fairly obvious, and predictable, but there were a couple cruel injury blows that could affect the final selection in eight weeks time.
Another slow week where a decent performance was enough to get noticed. The backs hardly saw the ball as the forwards were happy to just scrum and maul all day.
After a two week break the Six Nations returned on the weekend, but one would hardly notice given the lack of expansive rugby on offer. Maybe next week, we hope.
Will England continue their march towards the Grand Slam? Can a renewed Scotland hold out a resurgent Wales at Edinburgh? Do France have what it takes to win in Dublin?
The departure of two legendary actors from the world’s stage marks the end of an era. They represent the first generation to spend their entire senior careers in professional rugby.
