Thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for general discussion of Northern Hemisphere rugby each year rather than having unrelated discussions in thread for specific tournaments like the 6Ns and HEC threads. To kick it off here's the Ireland training squad announced from next week's...

I'm posting this here as maybe there is no appetite for this kind of thing in the community and as it would require official sanction by those who run G&GR. Anyway on with my idea. As a community on various threads we often discuss ways in which the game can be grown both around the world and...

I wrote this guide a while back and I was going to post it on here a few weeks ago, but the Nevin Spence thing kinda dampened my enthusiasm for Rugby and I kept putting it off. Well the Heineken Cup gets underway today so here it is. I tried to update as much as I could but someone of the...

Not sure how well known Nevin Spence would be in Australia but he was a rising star in Irish Rugby and was our young player of the year. He was tipped for big things, a great loss to the world of rugby but more importantly a very tragic loss to his family who also lost his father and older...

Looking forward to the 1st round of games starting this Friday. Will be cheering for all the Irish provices. Very interested to see how my team, Leinster, go expecially with BoD now out for about 6 months. Also wondering if the Welsh players can carry their WC form into this and make a real...

Going to be a full 3 test tour in June 2012
