Ireland will be looking to wrap up a 2-0 series win with a victory over Argentina in the second Test in Tucuman on Saturday.

South Africa vs. Wales: 5 Bold Predictions for Durban Test

Wales go in search of their first ever win over the Springboks in South Africa when they run out in Durban on Saturday. The southern hemisphere superpowers have had Warren Gatland’s number in recent years. The Boks are searching for that extra 10 per cent to reach the level of the All Blacks, while Welsh observers are waiting to see if Gatland’s pledge to alter his team’s style at the end of the Six Nations will come to pass. WalesOnline.co.uk columnist and former Wales skipper Gwyn Jones wrote: Gatland signed off this season’s championship by signalling that a change in... 

Manu Tuilagi Should Be Playing in the Centre for England Against New Zealand

Manu Tuilagi has consistently been England’s best player since he burst on the international scene just prior to the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. He is England’s most powerful runner, and the one opposition defences worry about most. However, where he should play in the England team has been brought into question over the past year. Moreover, the decision to move Tuilagi away from the centre and onto the wing risks limiting his impact and disrupting the balance of the team. The calls to switch Tuilagi’s role have come from some of the most respected figures in the game.... 

New Zealand vs. England: 5 Changes Stuart Lancaster Should Make

England will be encouraged by their performance last Saturday against New Zealand, despite their 20-15 loss. This week Stuart Lancaster’s squad will be bolstered by late-arriving Northampton and Saracens players after their exploits in the Aviva Premiership Final.  England will also be strengthened by the return to fitness of scrum-half Danny Care and inside centre Billy Twelvetrees. Lancaster has conceded that this will lead to fairly wide-ranging changes to the starting line-up for the second Test at Dunedin. “I’ve got to get the balance right. That’s going to be... 

European Rugby Champions Cup 2014 Draw: Pools Released for Inaugural Tournament

The group stages have been drawn for the inaugural European Rugby Champions Cup, and there are some tantalising ties in prospect in the opening pool stage. Saracens—who lost the Heineken Cup final and the Aviva Premiership final last month—have seen their recent bad luck continue, as they’ve been handed a perilously difficult draw. Mark McCall’s team will have to best Munster, Clermont Auvergne and Sale Sharks if they’re to make it out of what looks an extremely exciting Pool 1. The holders Toulon—who won back-to-back European Cups in the past two seasons—are... 

Upsets Help Find Semifinalists at Junior Rugby World Championships

New Zealand were the benefactors of a handful of results which has seen them progress to the semifinals from an improbable situation at the Junior Rugby World Championships.  They claim the wild-card spot and progress along with the three pool winners, England, Ireland and South Africa. The weather acted as a leveller, as tough conditions made it hard for the top teams to execute. A thick haze of rain fell all day, creating slippery conditions underfoot, making a running game hard and handling exceptionally difficult. On top of this, a strong wind blew which challenged the kickers. It was... 

World Rugby’s Team of the Weekend: Aussie New Boys Show Their Class

The international was flung open with a good old fashioned Test match in Auckland where England’s second string gave the World champions a fright. Things were far less tight in Brisbane as Australia dispensed with a French side who looked like they would rather have been on the beach, while Ireland’s mix of youth and experience proved too much for an up-and-coming Argentinian side. Those three games provided the highest level of action of the weekend, so it’s from there that we’ll select this week’s finest 15. Begin Slideshow  Read More →

England Have the Squad Depth to Win the 2015 Rugby World Cup

England head coach Stuart Lancaster will have learnt a great deal about his fringe players following their impressive performances in the last-gasp defeat to New Zealand in the first Test at Eden Park. What he will have also learnt is that he has the depth within his squad to win the World Cup on home soil in 2015. The England players who were unavailable to Lancaster in the first Test are key cogs in the machine. Up front, he was without his first-choice front row of Alex Corbisiero, Dylan Hartley and Dan Cole, not to mention Tom Youngs and Mako Vunipola. To be able to call upon Joe Marler, David... 

USA vs. Scotland: Score, Recap and Post-Match Reaction

Scotland used forward-breaking quickness and natural power to boss a fairly dour game against the USA Eagles in Houston. The Scots won by a comfortable 24-6 scoreline, ensuring head coach Vern Cotter’s first win. For Cotter, the game was important in announcing his long-awaited arrival as the man who can revolutionize Scottish Rugby Union internationally. While he’ll have been pleased to begin with a victory, Cotter won’t be fooling himself about the scale of the job in front of him. The match was played in front of a healthy crowd at Houston’s BBVA Compass Stadium. The...
