Re: Six Nations Player of the Tournament nominees announced
Duhan van der Merwe was the Top Try scorer with Sheenan. Italy was such a success. They've beaten Wales and Scotland and managed a draw against France. They've lost by a whisker against England 24-27 . Tommaso Menoncello was one of their stars in all this. Would say it's a two horse race. And you w...

Re: Georgia invite Wales for a not-a-6N-playoff fixture
Nice warm up for Georgia. Maybe even give their young players a run out Last time the two sides met it was a comfortable 43-19 win. Georgia are overreaching themselves here. This. The team that put 43 points on them last year was basically the same side that we're currently fielding. Even as gash a...

Re: Six Nations Player of the Tournament nominees announced
Thought Aki went missing against England when the going got tough. Earl for me. Didn’t think he was much cop before the tournament so you’re got to factor in surprise value but he seemed consistently good and seems to be an English eight who lives up to the hype. Going missing when the going gets t...

Re: Six Nations Player of the Tournament nominees announced
Menoncello shirely though, has to be the find of the 6N, despite very stiff competition from the French newbies. I thought Brex or Lamaro were more important for the Italians than him Yeah , Brex for me was the outstanding Italian player of the tournament. I had him on my shortlist with Earl and Ak...

Sobering 8 days. Some legends past their date. Some squad players not up to it Some of our best players very up and down. Big overhaul required We don’t do major overhauls , more slow transition.

Did most of the away trips to Cardiff in the 2010s plus the odd Euro final, the games do take over the city on those weekends because it's pretty small compared to London or Paris or whatever, but you can generally find something.
