February 14, 2022

It wasn’t brilliant and it wasn’t woeful, but the result stuck to type: another England win against Italy in the Six Nations and a yet another loss – their 99th in the competition – for the Azzurri. While England’s 33-0 victory was expected, however, there were moments of magic in Rome that signalled a brighter [...]

Could British Skeleton be on the slide at Beijing 2022?

February 9, 2022

Hurtling head-first down a hollow hemisphere of ice on what resembles a school dinner tray at 90mph, unable to repeat the process more than a few times a day and with a genuine risk of life-changing injuries. No, this isn’t the latest example of Quentin Tarantino’s stylised violence on the big screen; it’s the skeleton. [...]
Jamie Peacock: ‘Catalans and Leeds ones to watch in Super League’

February 9, 2022

In a repeat of last year’s Grand Final, St Helens play Catalan Dragons tomorrow in the opening match of the 27th Super League season. Change is the buzz word for rugby league.

Rugby’s domestic derbies should not be played in the international window

February 8, 2022

The East Midlands derby between Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints is one of the fixtures fans look for when the schedule is released.

February 7, 2022

France’s opening round victory over Italy in the Six Nations on Sunday wasn’t dripping with a special je ne sais quoi, but it was a hard earned result to get their promising quest for a Grand Slam underway. Flying wing Gabin Villiere had three career tries prior to kick-off in Paris but doubled that tally [...]
Women’s Ashes: Australia win series with victory in first ODI

February 3, 2022

England’s Women this morning failed to stay in Ashes contention as they collapsed against Australia. The touring side were in the difficult position of needing to no lose every one of the remaining three matches following a drawn Test. Australia set a under-par first innings of 206 largely thanks to Beth Mooney’s knock of 73 [...]

February 3, 2022

He may currently not be part of Eddie Jones’s Six Nations squad, but Mako Vunipola still thinks England will go undefeated this year.
