Anatomy of a Try – Wesley Fofana vs Saracens April 2015
View image | gettyimages.com I wanted to go back and look at the Clermont vs Saracens Semi Final from the European Rugby Champions Cup and in particular Wesley Fofana's try from the deft little Brock James kick over the top.

Both Teams played with some genuine intent, moved the ball...

Multiple coaches later Scotland have settled on Vern Cotter as the man to restore their form. Widely regarded as...
Anatomy of a Try – Chris Wyles vs Munster January 2015
View image | gettyimages.com European Rugby can really bring out the best in some teams, and last weekend Toulon, Bath and Saracens all delivered some outstanding rugby. To be honest we could have looked at any number of brilliant tries. However we're going to have a little look at Saracens 1st try by Chris Wyles and Saracens break the Munster defence down using their attacking structures. Saracens are often labelled a...
