Friday night Six Nations here to stay

Friday night Six Nations here to stay

The Six Nations Council today announced the schedule of matches for the 2010 Six Nations Championship, which will kick-off in Dublin on Saturday, 6 February, when Ireland meet Italy.

Ireland claim their slice of history

The Ireland class of 2009 became only the second from the Emerald Isle to claim a European clean sweep of rugby on Saturday, beating Wales 17-15 in Cardiff for the first Irish Grand Slam since 1948, courtesy of Ronan O'Gara's late drop goal.

England recover Calcutta Cup

England followed up last weekend's earth-shattering improvement with a bitty 26-12 victory over Scotland as they reclaimed the Calcutta Cup at Twickenham on Saturday.

England blow shapeless France away

It was supposed to be Le Crunch. It ended up as Le Crash. France, victors over Grand Slam champions Wales a fortnight ago, fell 34-10 to England at Twickenham on Sunday, blown away by the hosts' enthusiasm and clinical finishing.

I thought the Durban Test - King's Park has a reputation in SA for being the best venue - would be the best atmosphere. I was wrong.

So the award for most charmingly nervous, plain-speaking interviewee among the Lions goes to: none other than prop Adam Jones.
