Wales have called Rhys Webb into their Six Nations squad after six months out of rugby through injury. The Ospreys scrum-half met up with the squad on Monday morning as they turn their attention to the potential title decider against England. The 27-year-old made his return from injury in mid-February and his call-up comes off […]
Wales ended France’s Grand Slam hopes with a dominant display in a 19-10 win in Cardiff. In reality, the margin should have been greater as the visitors rarely threatened breaking the Welsh try-line until a late consolation try. Wales also struggled in attack, failing to finish off several opportunities – but they did some deserved […]

Wales travel to Dublin to face Ireland in a match which could easily define how this years’ Six Nations turns out. Both will be hoping to be in the mix for the championship come March 19th, and an opening day win will set either side on their way. Warren Gatland and Joe Schmidt have both […]
England captain Dylan Hartley says the public desire to see him fail ahead of their Six Nations opener against Scotland has made him prepare like never before. Hartley, 29, has been viewed as a controversial appointment by new coach Eddie Jones in some quarters, having been banned for a total of 54 weeks throughout his […]
In the opening round of the 2016 Six Nations, Wales will travel to Dublin to face defending champions Ireland. Despite being the first match of their respective campiagns, the significance of winning cannot be overstated.
