Wales player ratings: Few standouts despite an improved performance

Following their 20-10 Six Nations defeat to England at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, he is how we rated the Wales players. 614 Josh Adams: He saw very little ball on attack and spent most of the match chasing Garryowens. Freddie Steward bossed the aerial game, partly due to the Wales kicking game being overcooked. 710 Owen Williams: Many hoped that he would spark Wales’ attack into life, but that’s not how it played out. 5READ MORE: Six Nations: Wooden Spoon beckons for Wales as England make it two wins out of three

Jack Flash – The making of van Poortvliet

“The first thing I remember was Matt Smith, who had just retired and did a year coaching the academy, saying the name Jack van Poortvliet, as I’d never heard a name like it,” Harrison says. “But then I saw this young bloke coming through and I thought I’m not going to get a game anyway!”The making of van PoortvlietOn the clay-pigeon shooting range at least, ‘apprentice’ van Poortvliet held a distinct advantage over ‘master’ Harrison. “I probably only had a couple of training sessions with Jack at the start of his career and the end of my career. Hopefully this year he will start a lot more games.”Celebrations of a first title triumph in nine years were cut short as van Poortvliet was named among six Tigers players called up for England’s summer tour to Australia. Shortly after coming on for his Test debut in Perth, as England chased a lost cause, van Poortvliet marked the occasion with a maiden try, earning him a start for the showdown in Brisbane a week later.

England to make head coaching announcements next week

The Rugby Football League will announce their head coaching appointments for the England men’s, women’s and wheelchair teams on Tuesday at midday. Shaun Wane’s contract expired following last year’s World Cup, and it has yet to be confirmed whether he will remain in charge moving forward. Wane guided his country to the World Cup semi-finals, where they just fell short to Samoa in golden point extra-time. For the women’s team, meanwhile, Craig Richards stepped down from his role as head coach after their World Cup campaign. And for the wheelchair, Tom Coyd led his England side to World Cup glory.

Five things we learnt from Reds-Hurricanes

Tate McDermott summed it up best when he said the Reds copped a 'reality check' as they were dominated by the Hurricanes. Henry is a big-body centre with an under-rated boot, constantly looking like a threat when he took the line on. Tupou’s highlight reels often only show the flashy plays and freaky athleticism but his scrummaging is world-class and was sorely missed. This combined with Harry Hoopert (knee) long-term injury leaves the Reds searching for answers to match it with the best. Life after Tupou is now the reality for the Reds after he signed a two-year deal with the Rebels.

Alligator Blood is All Star Mile 2023 bound

Alligator Blood has sewn up a start in the All-Star Mile with his first-up win in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes at Sandown.
