  • Ollie Phillips: Farrell move tough for Premiership but he’s made the right call

    January 26, 2024

    I can do nothing but commend Owen Farrell’s move from Saracens to Racing 92. He owes nobody anything and can really start to relax into the twilight of his career. I cannot say the news shocked me given the abuse so-called fans and others had heaped upon the England No10, but to see him leave [...]

  • Ollie Phillips: Champions Cup, LRZ and women’s Lions tour

    January 19, 2024

    Amid talk of Louis Rees-Zammit’s move to NFL, the upcoming release of the Netflix documentary and the various Six Nations squad announcements, we must not forget the allure that this weekend’s Investec Champions Cup has. I wasn’t too certain about the change in pool structure but it must be said that nearly every game has [...]

  • Time for the Top 14 sides to make their mark in the Champions Cup

    January 12, 2024

    If you’d have told me that the Investec Champions Cup holders La Rochelle would be without a win after two of their pool games I’d have probably laughed at you. Leinster and Stormers are difficult opponents but they’re the calibre of side Ronan O’Gara’s French men have toppled on many occasions over the last two [...]

  • ‘Premiership top six battle makes up for stragglers at foot of table’

    January 5, 2024

    At last there’s some good news in English rugby with record attendances and millions watching from home across two Premiership rounds over the holidays. Of course it must be taken with a pinch of salt, the figures always tend to be skewed slightly at Christmas, but it is at least a sign of retained interest [...]

  • ‘2024 will be the year rugby finally finds stability… I hope’

    December 27, 2023

    When it comes to rugby it is difficult to know what exactly is in store for us across 2024. There’s no World Cup or Lions Tour to steal the headlines so the sport will need to work especially hard to remain relevant. But there are opportunities, and that’s something the sport must exploit. Here’s my [...]

  • 2023 rugby review: Jones, Sexton, England, London Irish and Hunter

    December 22, 2023

    It’s been quite the 2023 in rugby. This year South Africa won the Rugby World Cup, La Rochelle lifted the Champions Cup after Leinster No10 Johnny Sexton abused the referee, the women’s game has grown further and Australia had 12 months of Eddie Jones. Well, almost. It has had it all. English rugby lost two [...]

  • Ollie Phillips: Premiership sides are dishing up humble pie in Investec Champions Cup

    December 15, 2023

    Premiership teams stunned columnist Ollie Phillips last week. Can they do it again?

  • Ollie Phillips: Can anyone topple the Top 14 sides in European club rugby?

    December 7, 2023

    Our columnist previews the new European club rugby season.

  • Vile abuse that drove Farrell away from Test rugby a sad reflection of society

    December 1, 2023

    Rugby columnist Ollie Phillips writes this week on the news that England Test captain Owen Farrell is walking away from international rugby for the Six Nations to manage his and his family’s well-being. How serious does abuse to our sporting stars need to get before real, severe and meaningful action is taken against mostly anonymous [...]

  • Rugby must capitalise on Dupont playing sevens at the Olympic Games

    November 24, 2023

    Antoine Dupont playing rugby sevens – it sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? News this week of the France scrum-half, one of the sport’s few global stars, turning his attention to sevens in order to play at the Paris 2024 Olympics is superb for rugby. And it is now on the sport to make sure that they [...]
