March 27, 2009 Posted by Graham Jenkins on 03/27/2009 Hong Kong Magic As the IRB Sevens elite descends upon Hong Kong for the latest round fast-paced and lung-bursting action it gives us a great excuse to dig this classic try from the archives. Hong Kong is one of the magical desitinations on the rugby globe thanks largely to the many memorable moments the historic 7s tournament has provided - and Fiji have more often than been at their entertaining best in the Far East. Check out this classic footage from the 1990 Hong Kong 7s final against old foes New Zealand featuring some legendary names like Serevi and Rush and a very special try (around 5min in) -plus the added bonus of commentary by Bill McLaren.

February 6, 2009 Posted by Graham Jenkins on 02/06/2009 "Either we play as a team or we will die as individuals" The big Six Nations kick off is almost upon us and it's time for the northern hemisphere's elite to stand up and be counted. Big matches call for big performances and big speeches. England boss Martin Johnson has traditionally been a man of action rather than words and you can't envisage him rallying his troops in the style of Henry V. Similarly, the quietly-spoken Ireland coach Declan Kidney does not strike you as the kind of character to stir the blood with a passion-filled speech. Both men may want to take a lead from Al Pacino whose pre-game speech in the American Football-themed Any Given Sunday has passed into sporting folklore. Those clever bods at Sky Sports produced their own spin on the speech using the formidable tones of Stephen Berkoff to get the message across on the eve of this year's Heineken Cup. Take note BBC who have failed to hit the mark with their latest promos for the most-envied rugby event of the year. If you're not up for the Six Nations already - these should do the trick.
