Possibly the worst performacne of any referee on the entire european tour. Alan Lewis is well and truly single handedly ruining the game of rugby. I personally find him to be extremely inconsistant. He loves to be the centre of attention, and the game isn't complete without him having a major...

Tonight we were privy enough to see the Laws to be played 'downunder' in 2009. They are to be implemented across the board through all ages. The main differences to the 2009 season as opposed to the 2008 are the removal of the tackle offside line, the ability to play the ball with your hands...
