England vs. Samoa: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Rugby Preview

Without a win in their last five Tests, England have the ideal opportunity to bounce back to winning ways in Saturday’s clash against Samoa at Twickenham. Granted, four of those losses came against New Zealand, while South Africa account for the most recent disappointment but such are the standards Stuart Lancaster’s men are expected to meet. Samoa boast a balanced record in their autumn series, having lost to Italy before triumphing 23-13 over Canada last Friday, but the underdogs tag suits them well as they head for England’s capital.   Date: Saturday, Nov. 22 Time: 7 p.m.... 

Ireland vs. Australia: Key Battles to Watch at the Aviva Stadium

Ireland take on Australia on Saturday at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, looking to continue their impressive form from this November and avenge their 32-15 loss last season.

This week, Ireland leap-frogged Australia into third in the IRB world rankings, so this match will serve to vindicate or question that ascent.    Here are the four key battles for Saturday’s game, with particular emphasis on enticing match-ups.

Wales vs. New Zealand: Key Battles to Watch at Millennium Stadium

Wales face the All Blacks in Cardiff on Saturday, still without a win over a Southern Hemisphere opponent since 2008 and winless against New Zealand since 1953, per ESPNScrum.com. Warren Gatland’s side struggled to beat Fiji in their second Test of the autumn, going down on the opening weekend of their programme to Australia. No one expects the Welsh to upset the odds against the World Champions, who have so far done little more than the necessary to beat England and Scotland and had a good look at most of their squad in the process. Wales are looking, on paper at least, much more like a...

Biggest Hits in World Rugby for Weekend of November 14-16

Another weekend of international rugby saw attention stick with the autumn international series, where the elite once again came together with the biggest of thuds. Among those hits featured this week sits a class show of initiative from Romanian bruiser Andrei Ursache, who in the opening phases of his side’s fray with Japan decided to take out frustrations in a very physical manner. At Twickenham, Ben Morgan made the cut thanks to his self-made try against South Africa, where the No. 8 made the best of a devastating rolling maul from the hosts to touch down under a mountain of Springboks... 

Irish Rugby Star Dominic Ryan Gets His Eye Stamped on During Georgia Match

Rugby players are as tough as they come but even they don’t sign up for this.  Irish flanker Dominic Ryan was lucky to escape serious injury after the trailing boot of Viktor Kolelishvili caught him in the eye.  Irish captain Eoin Reddan asked referee  JP Doyle to look at the incident, but the referee declined after hearing nothing from the Television Match Official (TMO) Jim Yuille. Irish coach Joe Schmidt said the referee could not be blamed for not doing anything about the incident.  He said, as per the Irish Times: I think the protocol is there that the... 

Best XV from Autumn Internationals on November 15

There were not many dazzling displays across Europe this weekend, but there were some competent performances nonetheless. Scotland’s young, improving side are certainly making people take notice after running the All Blacks close, while France have also pitched in some new faces with pleasing results. At the other end of the experience scale, South Africa’s old hands are showing there are plenty of miles left on the clock just yet. Here is this week’s first XV. Begin Slideshow  Read More →

Ireland vs. Georgia: Score and Report from Autumn Rugby International

Ireland hammered Georgia, 49-7, at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday to keep up their winning record in this year’s autumn international series.     Joe Schmidt chose to ring the changes in his squad following last Saturday’s triumph over South Africa, and it required a much-improved second-half display to clinch the wide victory, confirmed by Rugby World: Georgia weren’t being tipped as the strongest of underdogs coming into this clash, but the Eurasian visitors did their best of playing to their strengths in defence. Physicality is the one area in which Georgia... 

Ireland vs. Georgia: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Rugby Preview

Georgia will be hard-pressed to manage an upset upon visiting Ireland in Dublin on Sunday, having lost a home tie against Tonga last time out while Ireland recorded a 29-15 win over South Africa. However, as the march toward the 2015 Rugby World Cup continues, both teams regard the development of their squads as highly as results themselves, and the Georgians will view this as a chance for further discovery. It promises to be a rather one-sided affair in favour of the Aviva Stadium hosts. We provide full viewing details and analysis of which players to keep an eye on below.   Date: Sunday,...
