The British and Irish Lions have started their tour of Australia. I'm obviously biased, but it's great to see so many of the squad are made up of Welsh rugby players! I feel the Lions are in with a real chance of doing extremely well on the tour this time. So, to celebrate here's a new illustration depicting a rugby playing lion in full flight. Enjoy!

It's official...The family have landed! Here they are, the brand new 'Tigers Family' exclusively created for Leicester Tigers. The Leicester Tigers (in case you don't know) are the most successful English rugby union club since the introduction of league rugby in 1987 and play their rugby at Welford Road in Leicester.
I've been working on this project for a few months now and it gives me great pleasure to finally unveil the brand new Tigers Family to the World! They will star in their very own cartoon strip that will appear in every Tigers home game programme, and also appear on various promotional material including emailers, posters, postcards and more. You can expect to see a lot more of the family as time goes on, the first strip is finished and will appear in Saturday's programme when the Tigers play Worcester Warriors. I'm very excited about this project and would love to know what you think. Enjoy!
The big game of rugby in this weekends 6 Nations is undoubtedly England vs Wales. Home advantage to the English, but Wales are playing fantastic rugby. Both unbeaten so far in the competition and Wales are the bookies favourites with a win giving them the Triple Crown. But the games between these two Nations are anything but friendly and historically have caused a few upsets. Who will win?...Wales of course!
Here are all this weekends Six Nations teams and times...Enjoy!
The second weekend of the 6 Nations. All important to either get that second win or perhaps more importantly to avoid two losses in a row! Win, lose or draw it's going to be a cracking weekend of rugby! Here's the line up...
A superb weekend of rugby! A few teams not quite performing to their potentials, with a bit of a lacklustre game from England and Scotland. Wales on the other hand were fantastic! A great game against Ireland with perhaps neither team deserving to lose. Wales however showed true determination and team spirit to pull off a last minute winning score. Can wales now go on to win the Grand Slam? Time will tell, but I'm really hoping so!
That's right (real) sports fans, the Six Nations 2012 begin this weekend! A full weekend of egg chasing, dirt tasting, face stamping, eye gouging fun! Will Wales live up to post World Cup expectations? Will England defy their critics and successfully defend their 6 Nations crown? What type of French team will turn up? Will this be Irelands year to shine? And is it too early to say it's out of Scotland and Italy for the wooden spoon this year? Time will tell, but if one thing's for sure, the Six Nations will undoubtedly throw up a few unexpected results and some truly exciting rugby! Bring it on! Come on Wales!!!
Here's the line up for the quarter finals...(come on Wales!!!)
