It was rude not to buy myself a ticket for the Friday night game between Wales and France, I’d enjoyed being back in Cardiff to watch the All Blacks so much in the Autumn. I’d paid £75 for that ticket, a seat in the No Alcohol section for this one set me back £100. I … More Wales v France _ 6 Nations 2022
A grotty Sunday afternoon saw Harlequins visiting the Stonex Stadium, Saracens had an away Premiership win under their belt when they beat the current Champions at the Stoop and a home win in the Premiership Rugby Cup, could they make it a trio? I was happy to see just the one captain this week, with … More Saracens v Harlequins
I’m sitting in front of the TV to write this one, hoping to go to London Irish’s new ground for the Premirship match but commitments mean it’s a sofa match for me this week, so a match report that looks a bit like a live commentary.

What could be better than a double rugby weekend at the Stonex Stadium, sadly not many other Saracens fans felt the same, we have a way to go before the Women’s games get the crowds they deserve.

This was a women’s international match and it was briliant! A crowd of 9366 made their way to Northampton. I’ve been to the ground many times to watch Premiership Rugby and … More The Red Roses v The Black Ferns
It’s Autumn Internationals time – except both this match and the match between Scotland and Tonga were both booked outside of the official window. That meant both Home Nations teams were without any players situated in Premiership Rugby. That in spite of the fact that all of those picked in the England squad were absent … More Wales v New Zealand – With Some Salary Cap stuff too!
Round 2 of the Championship play offs saw Saracens taking a 60 point lead into the game. With a prize of Premiership Rugby and European Challenge Cup Rugby on the line these 2 matches probably constituted the most important fixtures in Saracens’ history. Failure to make it back into the top league could see the … More Saracens v Ealing Trailfinders Part 2

I’ve been a fan of Leinster from afar for many years but had no idea how this provincial rugby team came across its players. I asked Nathan Johns a very talented young writer and Co-Founder of the excellent https://tightspiral.substack.com/ to write an article to explain just where and how they’ve grown such a successful set … More Leinster Rugby – How has it’s success been grown?
