Need I say more...Yeehaa!
Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus - Happy St David's Day!
It's the 1st of March, which means it's St David's Day (or Dydd Gwyl Dewi if you speak Welsh). The special day to honour the country's patron saint and to celebrate Wales and everything Welsh! To commemorate this most wonderful of days here is an illustration of a baby dragon. Now go and celebrate with a some lovely Welsh cakes! Yummy!
I can smell it in the air...It's Six Nations time again!
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 Six Nations are on! Wales for the Grand Slam?!
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!
The 6 Nations 2012 are here! Hurrah for the egg chasers!
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!!!

Rugby World Cup 2011 - Semi Final Weekend!
It's almost here! The semi final's of the Rugby World Cup 2011. Wales are in the semi finals for the first time since 1987. They are up against France who have had a bit of a mixed competition, with a couple of losses but also a few wins. Wales will have their work cut out to beat the French as they are a team never to be written off. It all depends what French team turn up, although I am confident of a Welsh victory as Wales are playing so well that it's surely their game to lose!
New Zealand vs Australia is a bit of a guess at this stage of the competition. NZ have been consistently number one in the World for a reason, but the Aussies are always a danger. Local derby's don't come much bigger than this!
To celebrate the wonderful weekend of rugby I've added a few illustrations from my iStock portfolio below. Enjoy and feel free to let me know what you think.

Rugby World Cup 2011 - Wales are on FIRE!
I may be biased but that doesn't mean I'm wrong! Wales are the best team in this competition and time will tell whether they can go all the way and deservedly win the World Cup! I will be watching this Saturday's semi final against France with a mixture of excitement and expectation. I truly believe we can do it! Come on Wales...!
