England complain about Walsh
Referee ‘Aussie’ Steve Walsh has rubbed the Poms up the wrong way after their loss to Wales and they are considering complaining about his performance – especially his handling of the scrum.
No word yet on whether England fans are considering the same about their team’s performance but there are rumours Walsh had his famous tattoo covered up, so perhaps that is why he lost control of the match?

The Southern Kings are on tour in New Zealand and things just got harder after they allegedly broke a foreign player quota rule and had to send two players home.
Will the Kings win a game on tour, or at least be competitive?
