IRB Pacific Rugby Cup

The International Rugby Board (IRB) today announced the schedule for the 2007 IRB Pacific Rugby Cup. The Tournament, which involves two representative teams from each of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, will kick-off on March 31st.

World XV - 2006

It has very much been a year of black and red the world over. On the international stage the All Blacks have conquered all, often with consummate ease, and have collected awards galore for their efforts. Meanwhile England have been under dark clouds for much of the time, embarking on a record losing streak and the departure of Head Coach Andy Robinson.

A look back at the rugby year

It has been another action-packed year of rugby, with more matches than ever before - indeed, sometimes bordering on over-saturation.

Rugby carols by candlelight

It wouldn't be Christmas without a few carols, but in keeping with the fact that this is a rugby website, we have cunningly combined the two so rugby fans everywhere can have a little sing-song... Merry Christmas one and all from Planet Rugby!

November's brickbats and bouquets

Another November Test series gone by, but no tour - or set of tours - is complete without an end-of-tour fines and awards session. So sit back and enjoy some of the moments of madness and mirth from the past month of rugby...

November's Team of the Tests

That was quite a month! Another irresistible clean sweep by the All Blacks, the plunge of England from average to downright mediocre, the emergence of Argentina as a top-six rugby nation, and of Ireland as genuine Rugby World Cup 2007 contenders.

O'Sullivan reflects on a fine finish

A typically understated Eddie O'Sullivan has hailed Ireland's clean sweep of victories from their November internationals as a "good month's work".

Props are here to stay!

It is not so long ago that the intricacies of front row play were a mystery to most. So who better than international props Gethin Jenkins and Dai Young to dissect the new engagement process?
