Remember the problems facing the Welsh rugby camp after Graham Henry came back form leading the 2001 British Lions to Australia?


He lost the moral and trust of the dressing room – it was the beginning of the end for him as Welsh coach.


Can the same happen to Warren gatland and co following on from this British Lions tour of South Africa? After all, most of the Welsh management are out there.


Personally I don’t see the same thing happening again, here’s why.

One of the hardest men in Welsh rugby, Chris Horsman, has retired from senior rugby due to a neck injury.


An adopted Welshman who we shall forever remember as a hard nut and for scoring his one and only try when beating England in 2007.


Beating cancer twice and still managing to be a top class tight head prop shows just how hard a man Chris really is. Good luck in the future.

David Bishop is going on trial to Sale Sharks – where their Welsh Director of Rugby Kingsley Jones will be taking a look at him.


Ceiron Thomas is leaving the Scarlets to join newly promoted Guinness Premiership side Leeds – presumably to get some game time.


Good to see Welsh rugby players are still in demand over the border. We take a quick look here at the wto players and at the moves they are making.

Stephen Jones is one Welsh rugby player that seems to ceate a lot of controversy – odd for such a mild mannered 10.


Some consider him a Welsh rugby legend, whilst others don’t even consider him world class.


So we have to wonder – why are people seeing the same player so differently? What is it about him that has some people saying Legend whilst others saying ‘journeyman’?


We look at why that is, and why I consider him to be truly deserving of the phrase ‘Welsh rugby legend’.

So Barry Davies has signed for Welsh Rugby region, the Ospreys, leaving French side Brive.


As a former Llanelli Scarlets player he is likely to get a fair bit of stick from his mates back home, but the question remains… why did the Ospreys make this signing, and will it be a good one for them?

It seems everyone and his dog is demanding answers from the Welsh rugby managment when it comes to what happened with Ryan Jones’ call up, and sending home, from the British Lions. Even Derwyn Jones is getting in on the act.


But I am not convinced that Robin McBryde, Sean Holley and co have a case to answer. It seems to me to simply be a gamble that didn’t pay off.

I meant to post about this before but I have been swamped with work and other issues, so forgot about it.  I have set up a league of blogs to take part in Sky’s fantasy Lions game – and its already one game old and I forgot to change my team – thankfully I already had players such as the try scoring Lee Byrne in it so despite not having half the team start I still came 2nd.
But anyway the idea is that there are a bunch of blogs taking …
