For any player or coach to get a contract in any professional sport, then that individual is obviously very talented and of a standard many of us dream of aspiring to.

The surviving tipples, from my younger days, which I am still partial to on occasion are a generous measure of Drambuie with an equal measure of Whiskey, or if the mood takes me a measure of Port with a measure of Brandy - nice and tasty with the guarantee of a good nights sleep :D

I don’t know if anyone else has picked up this but I thought that not only did the introduction of the Humph appear to have an impact on the Ulster players, it appeared to have a greater affect on the Leinster players! Up until that moment, Leinster were looking very comfortable in all areas and a...

Do you think this sort of score line, and I appreciate that it is only half time, shows the advantage Wales have had in playing their earlier games at home?
