England took sweet revenge over Wales with a comprehensive display at Twickenham to seal the Triple Crown. First-half tries from Danny Care and Luther Burrell helped put an off-colour Wales to the sword and keep England in the hunt for the championship. It sets up the last weekend, with England travelling to Italy needing a win and hoping Ireland suffer defeat in France. It also keeps next year’s...

Scotland contrived to conjure a defeat from a game they dominated against an abject French side, leaving Les Bleus in with a shout of still claiming this year’s Six Nations title. This was a vastly improved performance to that produced by Scott Johnson’s side in their last outing at Murrayfield when they failed to register a single point against England. But they somehow ended up on the...

Clashes between England and Wales need hype like a raging fire needs an extra can of petrol. The contest itself is enough to fill a stadium twice the size of Twickenham without the build up these games always get but let’s not let that stop us adding a little more sizzle to the steak. With the tournament perfectly poised with four sides on four points apiece, the winner of this match will be...

The fourth installment of a gripping Six Nations sees Scotland go in search of their first win over France in eight years. Back in 2006 they ran out 20-16 winners over Les Bleus at Murrayfield, but according to ESPN Scrum’s Statsguru, this recent run signifies their longest stretch of defeats to France since they first locked horns in 1910. So you could say a win for the Scots is long overdue....

It is too early in proceedings to pay any serious attention to table positions, but there were plenty of talking points to emerge—from the woes of the All Black captain to a comeback by one of the all-time greats.

The last, and only, South African team to win the Super Rugby title was the Bulls. The men from Pretoria lifted the trophy in 2010 when they beat the Stormers in the final, but they have had a shocking start to the 2014 campaign, while their rivals from Durban have shown a lot of promise. Now coached by Jake White and under the stewardship off the field of Springbok great John Smit, the Sharks of...
