The Welsh performance in Rome leaves the team at a crossroads. It is clear that the individual ability is there, but it is also clear that the rest of 2011 could be a very grim time indeed for Welsh supporters. As against Scotland a fortnight before, Wales started brightly. Despite one ridiculous gift of a [...]

Trees – yes trees – spoke out yesterday at the upsurge in the amount of them being brutally hacked down in order to be daubed in print with more opinion on where James Hook should play, how he should play, and whether or not if he was playing in the right place anyone else need [...]

Italian Prime Minister and charitable friend of young stunning women everywhere, Silvio Berlusconi, was said to be hugely disappointed yesterday after a secret meeting in a dressing room with a large group of teenagers from Wales.

Enough is enough declared Wales coach Warren Gatland as he admitted that his staff using the internet to watch streamed pornographic videos on work time may have had some adverse affect on the team’s performance of late. Gatland had sanctioned the extra-curricular use of internet during game time sometime in 2009 to cover periods of [...]

If you’ve woken up today in a strangely chipper mood despite crying yourself to sleep last night and having horrific dreams about Dylan Hartley, you are not alone.
