Hong Kong China’s minnows relish a Rugby World Cup baptism of fire - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This time next year the Rugby World Cup will be looming large. Australia’s big party kicks off on 1 October 2027 when the host nation will be intent on replicating the feelgood factor generated by their eventful 42-38 win against the world champion Springboks on Sunday. If the Wallabies can maintain their improvement under Les Kiss, the levels of local interest will rise exponentially. A resurgent Australia could also have significant implications for England, their potential quarter-final oppon
Northampton lead Prem charge but history shows title defence will be no simple task - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It used to be simple. Win the Prem once and people would assume it was just the beginning. At various times no one could dethrone Bath, Leicester or Saracens, serial winners by fair means or foul. And now? It is so long since any club defended their English domestic title that “doubling up” feels almost as quaint as reading a physical newspaper or chatting up a complete stranger in the pub.

The Prem at 30: are all the fights and mistakes out of the way? - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has taken a while but the penny finally seems to be dropping with those in charge of English club rugby. Perhaps it is simply maturity striking as the professional club top tier reaches its 30th season. Remember how things felt when you began to settle down, look for a proper job and start a family? According to the league’s chief executive, Simon Massie-Taylor, it is a similar story with the Prem. And maybe he has a point when he says the league, which kicks off this Friday, is entering a ne
Pollock denies signing Northampton deal and is ‘open to every opportunity’ - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Henry Pollock insists he has not yet re-signed for Northampton Saints and is “open to every opportunity” including playing abroad and trying out other sports. The England back-row forward is still widely expected to agree a deal to remain at Franklin’s Gardens but, for now, is refusing to publicly confirm his intentions beyond the end of this season. While the 21-year-old flanker, who toured with the British & Irish Lions last year, has been offered a significant pay rise in excess of £400,000 a
‘It was tough to be Jonah Lomu’: new film sheds light on late All Blacks hero - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Making a film about Jonah Lomu’s life was never going to thrill everyone. The big man’s widow, Nadene, took legal action in an unsuccessful attempt to block the project and declined to be involved. You can’t imagine Mike Catt being overly delighted either. Even 31 years later, the brutal footage of Lomu running straight over the top of England’s full-back in the 1995 World Cup semi-final in Cape Town almost merits an 18 certificate on its own. Happily, the makers of Lomu went ahead regardless an
