If Mystery man can have a post about his favourite rugby player, then i can as well. In fact,  have two.
Gavin Henson
Gavin Henson is the starting Second-Five (no.12) For Wales. He is probably most recognised for his epic performance in the 2005 Six Nations against England, in which he anialated Matthew Tait twice, and kicked the winning Penalty goal from the sideline 40 metres out. (Wales won 11-9 securing a grand slam season). He played as the fullback (no. 15) for arguably the best Welsh provincial side, Neath-Swansea. Neath-Swansea Then changed their name to Osprey's, where he plays along side other well recognised Welsh rugby players like Shane Williams and James Hook. He has just come out of Injury to play against France, where Wales, sadly, lost.
Conrad Smith
Conrad Smith is now the first choice Centre for the All Blacks, since Tana Umaga has left us. He has a great eye for space, and is one of the All Blacks key playmakers. He is the reason our wingers have scored the amount of tries they have. He Bareley ever misses a tackle, and all he lacks is a bit of pace. He plays for the Super team "Hurricanes" and plays provincial rugby for wellington. He has accomplished a rare feat, capping 38 games with 55 points for the All Blacks, as well as capping 38 games and 55 points for Wellington.

Wales 54 England 53

The Tie Breaker( or at least i think it is)
Take that England! defeated again by the mighty Welsh! on Sunday or what not, Wales beat England (rugby of course) 23-15. both teams scored marvelous tries, but Halfpenny's (Wales) was by far the best. Yet another brilliant counter-attack lead to a devastating score.

England Haven't Beaten Wales since 2005 or 04. thats 4 years at least. Thats what my underground resources have told me anyway.
The English might have had bragging rights after the Sevens, but they don't anymore...
Ireland is doing pretty good as well. They beat France lol O.o

Fact of the day: An Octopus can squeeze through a hole the size of a tennis ball.
