No Coming Back
You heard it here first (well, maybe…) – Scotland will do very well to avoid losing all their remaining games in the Six Nations 2010. That game against Wales was a sucker punch. As Shane Williams glided over, arm aloft as if conquering the ground beyond the Scottish try line, I felt as if one [...]
New Decade, New Dimension?
