The Nigels have finally released the fixtures for the first two rounds of the Super Dooper Cup with Knobs on ( but not many sponsors and no TV partner in France). Predictably, Twickenham will host the final in May, we are all waiting with bated breath for the Nigels decision that for reasons...

Still silence out of the Nigels who have taken over the running of European club rugby, and threaten the stability of the game worldwide. So far, the rumours are that the people who ran the Heineken cup are going to remain in charge, thank goodness, even though they have faced dogs abuse from...

No updates but I suspect that could be bad news. Owen Williams is still in hospital according to reports. Fingers crossed for the young fella.

Very strong rumours that the new sponsor of the pro 12 is Guinness which is excellent news for the league's profile. Now we just need the Welsh to get their shit together and stop squabbling like a bunch of pre pubescent girls.

Have seen footage of the incident. A complete accident with absolutely no blame for the tackler. But as bad as I have seen on a rugby field, I hope I am wrong with all my heart but it looks like a serious life altering injury. Fingers crossed.

Thoughts and prayers for Cardiff and Wales player Owen Williams who looks to have been seriously injured playing in Singapore. His parents flying out to be at his bed side would indicate the severity of the neck injury. Please God he is ok.

I feel sorry for Wales but, Liam Williams is the dirtiest player I have ever seen play the game of rugby and I am pleased that the rugby gods have delivered their nemesis after all his cheap shots over the years. I sat next to a young lad in Parc y Scarlets a couple of years ago and said that...

Draw has been made for the new super duper Nigels cup with knobs on. Munster have got the w'nkers, otherwise known as Saracens, Clermont and Sale. Leinster have lucked out with two Rubbish English sides, Harlequins and Wasps and Castres. Ulster are in a nightmare pool with Toulon, Leicester...

Think you have got two hookers out now. Have to say, I don't think I have ever seen a NZ team at U20s or first team handle as badly as they did today. SA put fierce pressure on but NZ just kept dropping the ball.

SA were frightening this morning but I suspect they will end up second seeds behind England so hopefully, if Ireland can secure the try BP against Fiji we will play the very beatable White Orcs in the semi finals. Whether anyone will beat the Bokker monsters is another matter.

Coughlan should have gone, he was immense against Toulouse and Toulon. Ireland's next number 8 will be Jack O'Donoghue.

Sadly Stephen Ferris has confirmed his retirement at the age of 28. Devastated for the fella, a monstrous player even though he was really playing on one leg for most of his career. The pick up and carry of Genua in the last RWC set the tone for Ireland's win. Best of luck to him.

The Welsh regions are in an open state of civil war with their union, you neglected to mention that. The Italians were angling to reduce their compensation agreement for participation in the pro 12 and were never remotely serious about pulling out of the league. At least you are honest about...

The WRU and FIR stood four square with the IRFU and FFR, the SRU were the scabs who broke the solidarity. So as long as Scottish rugby was alright they were happy to stab everyone in the back at five minutes to midnight even if if fucked them over. When Scotland are playing in the second...

If you are referring to Scotland's money from BT after they stabbed the other Celtitalian unions in the back and bent over for their English masters, then I think you might find that that particular Faustian pact will be disastrous for the game in Scotland in the long term. Sure, BT's bribe...

They are suggesting the six nations stays in feb/ March time but is reduced to six weeks of competition. The change in timetable would be the SH touring the NH in August/ September. Under that scheme I don't see when the players are going to get a break.

MM is coming to Connacht as a player coach and generally FBs make good coaches, IMHO. Very disappointing end to the NH rugby season at every level. The game being hijacked by the Shysters is going to have devastating consequences for the whole game, North and South of the equator. I am...

Lots of talk about Munster signing a centre from the SH, one of the names that has been mentioned is Tim Bateman, What do you lads think of him or any other potential recruits? EDIT scratch that we have signed Andrew Smith for a year.

I thought the yellow card wasn't even a penalty. Earls was entitled to challenge the man as he was attempting to kick the ball. But it wasn't the difference between the sides. Earls played like a man who was rusty from being out for nearly the whole season but he still made telling line breaks...

Shattered by that but so proud of the team for that second half display. Zebo proved a few people very wrong today, great strength to stop fatty Armitage and to take his chance. This Munster team is going to get stronger though.
