      I think you have got that wrong, N.Z. is far from a one nation sport. rowing, boxing, cycling-road and velodrome, netball, basketball they do well in those sports as well as others like rugby league etc.

      No, sorry I should have made myself clear - I was calling Rugby Union a one nation sport rather than New Zealand being a one sport nation. Slightly surprised it hasn't become a more competitive game in the last few years.

      As you listed there - great competitors in those sports. Watch a lot of track cycling myself and they are a real force to be reckoned with there! And they've got a very handy cricket side as well, as England have learned in recent years!

      What a man, what a sportsman Sonny Bill Williams is as well as representing New Zealand at Rugby Union he has also represented N.Z. at rugby league as well. He has also done professional boxing  and I have a feeling he may have played 7ns as well. It was good to see the Rugby World Cup give him another winners medal to replace the medal he gave to the young lad. Sonny Bill is a credit and a perfect example of what a true sportsman should be.

      Start of the 6 nations this weekend.
      Chance for England to get some respect back after their abysmal showing at the WC.
      Think they will do well and win the tournament.

      Ireland 16-16 Wales

      Couldn't be separated after a great game of intense rugby! Great attitude from both sides not wanting to settle for the draw in the end. Both sides will need some recovery time after that.

      Intriguing game of rugby from two evenly matched sides.

      I had a small flutter on Ireland, so I'm disappointed they couldn't hold on to their lead.  :(

      I only caught the end of the game and it was intense right to the finish.
