  • It’s not a case of whether England lose Six Nations match, it’s by how many

    column

    England’s final-round Six Nations tie in Dublin is not a case of whether the hosts can win, it’s a discussion about how many they win by. The Irish chasing a Grand Slam in Dublin, against England, on St Patrick’s weekend. It is made for a famous home victory, isn’t it? And even with their injuries [...]

  • No10 Russell can win Six Nations Triple Crown for Scotland

    Mercurial talent

    Mercurial talent Finn Russell can drive Scotland to their first ever Triple Crown in the Six Nations era on Sunday when his side host Ireland. I would go as far as saying the fly-half is a genius, while his opposite number at Murrayfield – Johnny Sexton – is world class in his own ways. Scotland [...]

  • Six Nations: Jones and rest of old guard need to go for Wales to progress

    column

    Having watched Wales’ third consecutive loss in this year’s Six Nations, I am now more convinced than ever that Warren Gatland needs to drop Alun Wyn Jones. He has been an incredible servant to Welsh and international rugby and fully deserved each one of his record breaking 168 caps, but the 37-year-old isn’t what he [...]

  • England must beat poor Wales in Six nations to show growth

    February 24, 2023

    England’s third round Six nations match against Wales on Saturday has an odd feel about it. On one hand Steve Borthwick’s men will travel along the M4 filled to the brim with confidence given their opponents across the Severn Bridge are in a state of disarray at the moment. The time is right for England [...]

  • Ireland duel in Dublin vs France could be the Six Nations decider

    February 10, 2023

    I wouldn’t usually reveal my hand so early on in a Six Nations tournament, but I do think the winner of this match between Ireland and France will go on to claim the Championship this year. Many have had the same view prior to the tournament and I back it, though Scotland could be the [...]

  • Six Nations: ‘Wales for the Wooden Spoon? I think it could happen’

    February 3, 2023

    This year’s Six Nations is arguably both the most predictable and the least predictable in a long time – but I do think there is a good chance of Wales finishing rock bottom. I am in agreement with most that it will be between Ireland and France for the title, but beyond that it is [...]

  • Exodus of players to France is bad for the Premiership but the boys will thrive

    January 27, 2023

    The amount of brilliant rugby players fleeing England for France and South Africa should be of extreme concern to those in charge of the domestic game here. But the reality is those players heading for pastures new – as I did when I joined Stade Français from Newcastle in 2009 – will have an incredible [...]

  • England squad can give the Six Nations a good go

    January 20, 2023

    I’m not saying I didn’t expect it from a coach like Steve Borthwick but it’s great to see an England Six Nations squad picked on form at the moment. There are a few choices and calls I disagree with but off the back of what I read on Monday, I think England can give the [...]

  • Ollie Phillips: My hopes for rugby over the next 12 months

    January 13, 2023

    The next 12 months have the potential to be game-changing for rugby. It’s a World Cup year and domestic leagues are becoming ever more competitive, so here are my three hopes for the coming year. Nothing to lose My main hope for 2023 is to see England give the Six Nations and World Cup a [...]

  • Ollie Phillips: My Premiership team of 2022

    December 30, 2022

    While many have taken the final week of the year to look at their best Premiership XV of the season so far, I have used this week to ponder over my XV of the entire calendar year. The last 12 months have seen Leicester win the Premiership, Saracens surge back into contention and some traditionally [...]
