Here are the latest rugby headlines on Friday, January 13. Scotland's sporting anthem Flower of Scotland should be ditched because of its anti-English "chippiness", according to rugby legend Jim Telfer. Having previously made the call for it to be replaced 12 years ago, the Scot hasn't changed his mind about the song which refers to Robert the…

They have been called the best team in the world after beating New Zealand and Ireland in recent months and they were completely untroubled in putting away Scotland last time out. For France's class of 2022, a Six Nations Grand Slam is very much on as they head into round four. It's an interesting one, though. In a straight man-for-man comparison…

Wales have announced the team that will take on South Africa in Saturday's second Test today. Wayne Pivac has largely kept faith with the 23 that pushed the world champions so close last weekend, with Alex Cuthbert the only addition to the starting XV. Josh Adams moves to the bench, while Tomas Francis is replaced by uncapped Sam Wainwright after…

There have been some seriously dark times in the rich, turbulent history that is Welsh rugby. You only have to recall the countless thrashings by New Zealand - some of which are too painful to remember without feeling embarrassed - but South Africa dished out the worst beating on June 27, 1998. In the last passage of play, replacement Springbok…

Your rugby headlines on Sunday December 11. Eddie Jones is being linked with what is being dubbed a'sensational' rugby return for the World Cup which would see him lock horns with Wales. The axed England boss is being eyed up by Australia to join their coaching team for the tournament next autumn as the Wallabies look to'weaponise' what has just…

To say Wayne Pivac needs to start drilling down names into his World Cup plans must be an early candidate for understatement of the year. Quite how many players are inked in at this stage we cannot know after a Six Nations that ended chaotically for Wales, but maybe we can have a stab at projecting how Pivac's squad will look. Alun Wyn Jones has…

Rugby's Greatest Championship returns this Saturday and will feature what is set to be a titanic clash between two fierce rivals at Twickenham.

While England are the strong favourites at 1/7 with Grosvenor Sport, Wales are 17/4 and a draw is 30/1. Wayne Pivac's side is still heavily affected with injuries but that still did not stop them overseeing Scotland 20-17 at the…

Defending Six Nations champions Wales know they have to win when Scotland come to town on Saturday - a second defeat on the spin would all but end their hopes of back-to-back titles. In truth, the odds have been stacked firmly against Wayne Pivac's side due to an injury list which would make any coach in the world gulp. Still, that was no excuse…
