Wales put on a much improved all round display as they beat Argentina 33-16 at the Millennium Stadium earlier today. Star winger Shane Williams found form again as he scored two tries while flyhalf Stephen Jones looked commanding from early on, scoring a try and kicking everything asked of him. Wales had the majority of possession but went into the break at only 13-3 ahead. Argentina's Martin Rodrigeuz...
New Zealand recorded their eighth successive win over England with a 19-6 victory at Twickenham on Saturday after scrumhalf Jimmy Cowan scampered over for the only try of the match in the 57th minute. The All Blacks lifted the pace in the second half on a treacherous surface which contributed to a series of unforced errors from both sides after heavy rain throughout the week. Cowan's try came after...
South Africa scored four tries to get their end of year tour back on track as they beat Italy 32-10 in Udine earlier today. The tour so far has been less than satisfactory, as they've lost to Leicester and Saracens in warm up matches, and France in their first Test. Today they put things right though, as despite Italy's valiant challenge, the South Africans came out on top with a comfortable win in...

Tomorrow's Uruguay game presents the dual challenge of qualifying for the World Cup and satisfying expectations for a persuasive home win against a lower-ranked opponent. Neither objective comes along that often, and taking them together creates an obvious tension between prudence and performance. While the quadrennial World Cup takes precedence,...
It's been a week since the horror that took place prior to kick-off in South Africa's 20-13 loss to France in Toulouse. While the dust has settled somewhat, this joke of a performance is worthy of a place in our archives. Disgracing ones country is no laughing matter, but you can't help but find Reggae singer Ras Dumisani's rendition of the South African national anthem pretty humourous. There's plenty...
Wales Sevens coach Paul John faces the invidious task of balancing the 'Sevens World Champions' tag against the need to blood a fresh core of young talent.
This weekend we have another feast of rugby action which is bound to produce some tight matches and the occasional match changing decision. As we saw last weekend, the man blowing the whistle is in a highly scrutinised position and needs to be on top of his game at all times. Luckily for him, the Television Match Official (TMO) was brought into the game a few years back. Many questioned it's use,...
