Pure-Rugby.com will commemorate the exploit of any football player at the World Cup in South Africa who, with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time, takes one look at a cheating, diving opponent writhing around in supposed agony… And kicks him where it really hurts!!!

Footballers – Have they no shame?!

Is This What the New Admiral Sponsored Wales Rugby Shirt Will Look Like?

The Admiral Group is the only FTSE 100 company with their headquarters in Wales with well known names such as Confused.com, Elephant and Diamond also incorporated within the Group. It will be sad to say the Brains logo disappear off the Welsh shirts – the brand has become synonymous with International match days in Wales and also with a resurgence (and decline, as tends to be the way) in Welsh rugby. Admiral will be hoping for the Welsh flair to return in order to gain the kind of exposure that Brains received from the Welsh Grandslams of 2005 and 2008.

This November sees the All Blacks, Springboks, Wallabies and Fiji all visiting the Millennium Stadium in a mouthwatering series of Test Matches. A good 2010 Autumn Series and Six Nations 2011 will provide an excellent springboard for the Rugby World Cup in 2011… Of course, the exact opposite is applicable too and if the Six Nations is anything to go by, Wales could end up getting thumped by the touring Southern Hemisphere heavyweights.
