IRELAND MAY HAVE TO ADOPT SCOTLAND’S STYLE – SHANE WILLIAMS

March 12, 2017 /

When the Six Nations kicked off and the opening round begun, Wales and Ireland found themselves in two very different places.


For the Wales Rugby Team, they were looking forward in optimism having come away with a hard-fought victory over their Italian counterparts. Thus, they successfully completed the onerous task of playing Italy first in the competition.

On the other hand, Ireland went on against Scotland at Murrayfield where they ended up in a disappointing defeat to their Scottish counterparts. Thus, there hopes of a Grand Slam and Triple Crown were thrown out almost immediately.

The championship competition has just two more rounds left to go and Ireland knows that with a win over Wales in Cardiff, they would most probably be able to secure a winner takes all clash in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium against England on St. Patrick’s weekend. Continue reading

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SIX NATIONS – DAVIES

December 15, 2016 /

Relishing the prospects of participating in the Six Nations this season, Wales Scrum-half, Gareth Davies has called on his team mates to find top gear as they enter into the competition.


Davies feels that the beginning of the campaign should see his Wales Rugby team find the top gear into the competition, especially as they would be meeting with some of the heavyweights such as England, who are currently in high spirits and amazing form, and Ireland who recently won their game against Australia.

For Wales, their autumn international series came to an end with a win over South Africa which saw them beat their counterparts 27-13.
