March 28th, 2008 · No Comments
newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article. Ospreys scrumhalf Mike Phillips was piggin’ splendid in the Six Nations as he helped both his club and country win the Grand Slam. For my money he was without doubt one of the players of the tournament. Bad news then for Wales and ’spreys fans, as Phillips knee is buggered. […]

Under the floodlights, the Guinness Premiership clash between Newcastle Falcons and London Wasps at Kingston Park is going to be fantastic. All eyes […]

Good news for Scots: MacLeod has been cleared of taking banned asthma medicine. Bad news for Scots: your team’s so bad even asthmatics can make the side!

Lee Coan wrote this article. When Jock lock Scott MacLeod failed a doping test, few people would have expected it would have been for him suckling on an inhaler. But today MacLeod has been retrospectively cleared of failing a doping test after taking a banned asthma medicine without permission. What’s more worrying however, is […]

February 21st, 2008 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. You’ve got to give credit to Sheridan for this. Whilst most players would just happily accept injury and sit out England’s crunch tie with France, Big Andy has said “bollocks” to his injury. He knows just how vital he is going to be against the Frenchies, and just how […]

Lee Coan wrote this article. Though ladies love eye patches, if it’s two words that should never be associated with rugby it’s “eye” and “gouging”. Thankfully Rugby Union and Rugby League teams have all but stamped it out, but it seems some players just can’t help themselves. Great Britain Rugby League international Gareth […]

Lee Coan wrote this article. Liver explosion. It’s never going to be pleasant is it?
