About

Sports nut and aspiring journo. More of a hobby than career. I tend to be stubborn in sticking to my views and values. I love a good spirited debate and welcome any comments. My first love is Rugby mainly due to the fact it suited my childhood physique but football comes a close second. I have a passing interest in many sports from all over the world.

Been away for a few weeks but getting back in the game.

Follow me on twitter for news on new article.

    I think general fans will be disappointed that the scrum is not as important in 7s as in 15s. I guess if you like a lot of running and points that you'd like 7s, but like you, I like an edge to my rugby. NBC showed some college rugby, which is all 7s, at least the last two years.

    Yes, us Americans love our Olympic sports, but it's funny cuz me and all of my rugby friends here despise sevens. I wish my sports pack included Premiership and Heineken Cup rugby; if so, I might watch it as much, if not, more than Premiership football/soccer.

    Thanks for the props! I'm a little sad that my Rugby World subscription is ending soon, but the good news is the mag is increasingly more available in newsstands. I'm fortunate that my sports package has allowed me to watch the autumn Tests (though not live) on belN.

    my worst.... watching aguero's goal go in on the last day of last season!

    other ones include the 6-1 humbling at city, last season's CL catastrophe, the two CL final defeats vs barca, and watching drogba's OFFSIDE goal go in during 2010.
