We Need To Talk About Liam...

Liam Williams has been one of the region’s most impressive players this season; however, his discipline remains an issue.

With Leigh Halfpenny still injured and yet to play his first game for Toulon, Williams is in pole position to be Welsh fullback for the Autumn Internationals. Yet, there are still definite question marks over his temperament.

Open Apology To Ospreylia

At the start of this season many ‘rugby experts’, journalists and pundits wrote off the Ospreys, citing the loss of key players as the reason.  I too wrote off the Ospreys, although I would never call myself a rugby expert.

Therefore, this is my own slice of humble pie as I offer an apology for ever doubting the Ospreys.

The difference is that we weren’t playing for the All Blacks and due to catch a flight the next day. Aaron Cruden was drinking till late at a bar in New Zealand called the Zookeeper’s Son.

Is Rhys Webb Ready for Wales?

Rhys Webb insists that he is not thinking about Welsh selection but based on his performances he could be excused for wondering what his future might hold. The twenty-five year old Ospreys scrum half has had a career ravaged by injury but is now fit, on form and playing with a smile on his face.

With two tries against Edinburgh last weekend his total for the season stands at four with just three games played. The performance against Edinburgh was outstanding and his try scoring form speaks for itself, however is he ready to carry the number nine for Wales.

Since 2005 the Football Manager franchise has gone from strength to strength and become hugely popular amongst football and gaming fans.
