Argentina. Land of Corned Beef, Eva Peron, the Tango, and Los Pumas rugby team. Whilst their footballing counterparts, driven by Maradonna and primadonnas, have twice won the World Cup, the Argentine rugby team has never dominated on the world stage. They face a permanent struggle in fact. They have no annual tournament to compete in [...]

Weekend Predictions, Challenge Guscott!
Some really hard games to call this weekend, complicated further by International call ups. How will the teams who lose their star Internationals fair? Will the other clubs benefit? I don’t have a clue. Will Dom add his predictions? Will our predictions be better than Jerry Guscott’s?
Sale v Gloucester
Gloucester look a team in bits. If [...]

Moody the Man Again?
One of the sub-plots of yesterday’s clash between London Irish and Leicester was the battle of the open sides. The old nutter Lewis Moody versus the young wrecking ball Steffon Armitage. One of them is almost certain to line up for England against Australia in two weeks time, so who is the best bet to [...]

GP Weekend Predictions Part 2
Following on from Dom’s recent steller prediction performance (and his contribution below) I have decided to open myself to ridicule by offering my own predictions for the weekend. No doubt in the process proving why I don’t gamble and Dom does. And why I only write tripe on a blog as opposed to writing [...]

Weekend Preview 23/10
SATURDAY
Bath v Newcastle

Verdict: Bath to kick start their season by 12.
Gloucester v Wasps

Weekend Preview 01/10
FRIDAY
Sale v London Irish
London Irish have got a tough season ahead of them.
They’re trying to play attacking rugby but everyone wants to put one over on them.
Sale are struggling having lost some big names from the playing and coaching staff but they’ve got enough talent to see them through.
This will probably be a typically [...]

Premiership Rugby on BBC shocker
How fantastic it was to get to see some Premiership rugby on the Beeb this week, as highlights of Bath vs Wasps at the Rec was shown on Sunday on BBC2 at 1pm.
I think Sky’s coverage of rugby in general is fantastic and I’m a big fan on their team of experts with Barnes and [...]
