England 19 – Wales 26

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Wales beat England at Twickenham for the first time in TWENTY years today.

And that’s all I have to say about that.

Will Greenwood Is A Prick

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Or at least, someone at ITV is a prick for hiring this guy to do commentary.

Thank you Will Greenwood for completely ruining the South Africa V Argentina game with endless references to the England squad, and selling Josh Lewsey’s injury the previous night like he’d been shot.  I’m not the only one to notice this:

The Will Greenwood Drinking game

How Will Greenwood are you?

If there’s any justice in the world he will never, ever be let anywhere near a microphone again.

Orange Lamborghini London Docklands

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Some absolute tosser has spent the day tearing around the area in his orange Lamborghini. While I appreciate his taste in vehicles, I don’t appreciate the fact that the offensively-loud engine is drowning everything out – comparable to the planes going over from London City Airport – for the 2 seconds he has to speed up between speed bump and traffic lights and/or roundabout.

The title of this post has been shamelessly SEO’d in the hope that he’s vain enough to input “orange lamborgini” and “london” or “docklands” to see if anyone’s mentioned him. Well congratulations pal, you got my attention. Now fuck off to Silverstone where you can race it properly without interrupting my conversation.

P.S. My grumpiness has nothing to do with England beating Australia at the rugby. Honest.

Gareth Jenkins Sacked!

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

In my previous post I wondered aloud if Gareth Jenkins should go or not. It appears the Welsh Rugby Union were more decisive than myself – just a few hours removed from Wales’ premature exit from the World Cup, the WRU have sacked Jenkins from his job. He had previously insisted that he would not resign. (more…)

Wales 34 Fiji 38

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Wales were knocked out of the Rugby World Cup yesterday by Fiji in quite the see-saw contest. I can see how it’s quite possible for sports fans to keel over and die in the midst of a match, it was that stressful. (more…)

England Thumped By South Africa

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

The woes of the day have been eased somewhat by seeing England thoroughly defeated by South Africa in Paris this evening. 36-0 was the score, and ear-to-ear was my grin. (more…)

Rugby World Cup 2007: The First Weekend

Monday, September 10th, 2007

I’m drafting this post on the train from Swansea back to London, reflecting (seething, actually) about some of the performances of this weekend’s Rugby World Cup games. (more…)

Brutal Rugby Spear Tackles and Big Hits

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

I was astounded this afternoon by a brutal-looking spear tackle by the USA’s Paul Emerick on England’s Olly Barkley. For the uninitiated, a spear tackle is a dangerous tackle in rugby where a player is picked up by an opposing tackler, then turned so that they are upside down. And plonked on their head. (more…)

Why Can’t Sebastien Chabal Be Welsh?

Awesome hit by Chabal on NZ’s Masoe.
