Where to begin since we last put pen to paper? The Six Nations is over for another year, but this year’s edition is one that will definitely remain on our playlists for many years to come.

Lineout Calls of the Week – Six Nations Super Saturday
Is there anything else to really talk about this week in all honesty other than the penultimate end to what has been an enthralling Six Nations?

However, now that we finally get to sit down and mull over what was nothingContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”
The Lineout Calls of the Week
Well there has been drama aplenty this week, but yes sadly it’s officiating and governance that unfortunately take centre stage once more. England Captain Owen Farrell’s time at “tackle school” cleary had no effect and the serial high tackle offender once again found himself in hot water, only to get away scot free in theContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”

While we’re asking where on earth has the summer gone, you could rightly ask where we’ve disappeared to? A thousand apologies but July was an absolutely insane month for all of us and we didn’t get together once to have our usual banter, and sadly only got to catch much of the rugby well afterContinue reading “Lineout Calls of the Week”

As the Six Nations draws to a thundering close – let’s be honest is there anything else to really talk about? Well actually yes there is. A bunch of lads from Fiji turned the form book upside down last weekend in Lautoka and made history in one of the most enjoyable and infectiously joyous rugbyContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”

We apologise that last week’s Calls of the Week which was a mid-term review of the Six Nations got lost in a myriad of technical problems with this site. Fortunately that seems to have been resolved as we look forward to possibly THE most intriguing Round 4 of the Six Nations in a VERY longContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”
