SA? I'd have to agree. They're aging badly.

Starting to get World Cup fever...

Huge games in the Heineken Cup this weekend. Quarter-finals shaping up nicely. Impressed by Clermont & Leinster.

Backing Northampton for this one. They'll want serious revenge after the 41 phase nightmare! Leinster definitely favourites for the tournament.

Agreed. Want some tries from the brilliantly named Simon Zebo.

Great game between Munster and Northampton. 19-19 all at half-time. Samu Manoa tackling like a linebacker.

I'll be at the Six Nations launch tomorrow. Getting excited for the tournament, who do you think will win?

Ireland v Wales yesterday was ridiculous. George North is a beast.

Cheeky bit of self-promotion, but my first book was released last week. It's called The Rugby Pocket Bible; covers everything from history to rules to a Greatest XV ever, plus loads of great facts. If you love the game already or are interested, check it out.
