The #rugbyunited Premiership awards 2019
The majority of these awards I drafted last week, before the official Prem awards, and there are a few duplicates (and thus I feel vindicated in some of the choices!) There's also a trio of awards voted for by the #rugbyunited Twitterati and a few of the award...
Premiership rugby awards press release…. your winners are….
Danny Cipriani’s stellar debut campaign in Gloucester Rugby colours saw him named Gallagher Premiership Rugby Player of the Season at this evening’s star-studded awards ceremony. The 31-year-old has been a key component of the Cherry & Whites this season as they...
The #rugbyunited Team of the season
Been a while.... but tradition is tradition, so here's my team of the season. 1 Joe Marler - Harlequins - international retirement seems to have suited one of the games biggest characters. Hardly missed a game for Quins and usually played a blinder! 2 Harry Thacker -...
Doddie5 ride
Unless you have been living under a rock, you'll have seen so much amazing fundraising being done by the My Name'5 Doddie charity over the past year or so, including the Cup being awarded following Wales v Scotland fixtures, to auctions, to sponsored walks, and the...
Train with your heroes. Jono Ross
Jono Ross was speaking at a Gallagher ‘Train with your Heroes’ session at Lymm Rugby Club after their U15s side won a nationwide competition launched by Gallagher, a passionate community insurance broker and proud title partner of Premiership Rugby. It was...
6 Nations team ratings and team of the week (week one)
Yeah, everyone does player ratings, it's old hat. So I'm gonna rate the teams out of 10 for their performances on opening weekend and bring you my team of the week. I was going to cover the Women's 6 nations too, but have only seen a few highlights so couldn't do it...
Let’s talk about something…..
Every year at almost exactly this time of year, I get tagged into the comments of a certain meme that is used to have a pop at people who tune in to watch the Six Nations but watch little to no rugby for the rest of the year. A few people, including our friends...
Anyone else finding rugby in the Guinness Pro14 boring ? By Gareth of @RugbyWal
I decided to write this after watching the last two rounds of the champions cup matches involving Pro14 teams. The standard of rugby played was of a much higher standard, not only that, it was far more entertaining to watch and the atmosphere in the stadia was...
Why the Welsh regions struggled in Europe by Gareth of @RugbyWal
As I said in my blog about the perceived European struggles of the Premiership sides that I didn’t know enough about the Welsh scene to look into that subject, so here’s my buddy Gareth from @rugbywal to take you through that particular minefield! As everyone is...
DoN’t PaNiC! – Premiership clubs in Europe
Apparently the Premiership clubs in Europe have 'failed' again. Lot's of social media rejoicing, lot's of journalists and pundits pointing fingers at who's to blame, and even some coaches and players pleading that Premiership poverty has caused it. And I call...
Gloucester v Munster. My favourite fixture
Over the past few weeks, I have been particularly vocal about the negativity an general twattery that goes on to social media about rugby. Yet nothing warms my cockles as a rugby fan than a damn good night at Kingsholm with my dad, a great bunch of mates, a couple of...
Andrew Richardson talks Brexit, Ulster and the Pro14!
Well, questions are now being asked about Ulster after Brexit. Should they move south? Not a lot is known and until the 29th March I’m not sure any of us will know what the state of play will be. So let’s look at good old fashioned guess work: 1. Visas – if travel...
