Six Nations: Wales v Scotland

February 13th, 2012 · No Comments

My time-management policies meant this was the game of the round I watched, and it was a good match. If you look at these stata (for all the good that does) the game actually looks a lot closer than the scoreline indicates. Those moments of self-destruction that produced two yellow […]

Lee Coan wrote this article.
It’s that time of year again when the best of Europe crunch into each other, fighting for the honour of being 6 Nations champion.
Up in Scotland the anticipation is reaching fever pitch. Coming back from the World Cup there was a hangover. The team swayed, hiccupped and bumbled through […]

Slugso says:
I only bought tickets to this game a few days earlier, and roped some mates in. We went along knowing that the Scots and Pumas are probably pretty evenly matched, but given they both needed maximum points from this game to secure progression to the knockout stages, we were […]

Wet. Turgid. Three pointers all the way. Not the most exciting game so far, but … Scotland are two from two and can now target the Argentines. Not sure if that is wise, but hey. Braveheart and all that. My highlight, just seeing a wild beast the likes of […]

Dwyer’s View: Super Rugby Kicks Off Down South

February 20th, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
Three days & nights of Super Rugby, in the middle of a southern hemisphere summer! That’s hard work, but that’s what we’ve just seen. The standard varied from match to match; sometimes from half to half. Generally though, all games were marked by huge commitment and physicality.

Dwyer’sView: France on Track, but England Threaten

February 14th, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
France remain on track for a repeat Grand Slam with their hard-fought, close victory over Ireland at a packed Lansdowne Road ground yesterday.

Dwyer’s View: 6 Nations opens according to plan

February 6th, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
The opening weekend of the 2011 Six-Nations Championship went according to plan, despite ample opportunity for the ‘customary’ upsets. England, with a number of injury-enforced changes, could easily have come unstuck in Cardiff, but prevailed. Ireland, riddled with injuries, made awfully hard work of it, but sneaked a win […]
