Rugby Union Today: Wales keep the faith
Another busy day in the rugby union game as Wales stick with the same side that beat Scotland for this weekend’s away clash with England.
What’s on the site
There is just one change to their matchday squad for the clash at Twickenham as George North comes in for Owen Watkin in jersey number 23.
We also have a Quiz on Round One of the Six Nations as well as injury news. Elsewhere Sale Sharks flanker Dave Seymour hangs up his boots.
What’s in the news
Speaking of Sale, they did receive a boost after influential scrum-half Faf de Klerk avoided a suspension for his sending off at Scarlets.
That pair won’t be in the Anglo-Welsh Cup semi-finals with those matches confirmed on Tuesday for Bath, Northampton, Exeter and Newcastle.
What’s on social media
In South Africa the Varsity Cup was on television screens on Monday and it’s fair to say that the Wits University captain stole the show.
He did it again! #FNBVarsityCup11 has just started and @WitsUniversity captain Constant Beckerling has already delivered the best post-match interview of the year!
