In his workshop in Saint-André-de-la-Roche, the 43-year-old Englishman shapes wood with the same dedication he once brought to tackling opponents on Premiership rugby fields. A portrait of an unusual career change. The workshop sits on the hills above Nice, in Saint-André-de-la-Roche. Martin Purdy moves between imposing machines and larch planks scented with resin. It’s hard to imagine that this man, whose hands are now marked by splinters, was carrying an oval ball and wearing the black-and-gold jersey of the London Wasps less than a decade ago. Martin was part of the team that won the European Rugby Champions Cup twice,…

The quietest man in the stadium will be the most brilliantly lit when the spotlight falls on him come the end of the match. Mark McCall will hope that his last home fixture in charge of Saracens will have ended with his team back in the top four, just when it matters most, with one round to play.A win against Harlequins on Saturday in front of a sellout crowd would move Saracens above Exeter into fourth, with the Chiefs due to visit Leicester on Sunday.

Shaw, 22, recalled watching the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.’When I was in the crowd, it inspired me,” she added. “So hopefully other people, if they have a disability, seeing an increased Para-sport participation, it might inspire them to take up a sport.’It is one of the only competitions where the able-bodied and Para-sports are done side by side, so the increased coverage and everything about that I think is just amazing.”Being in the stands at Tollcross back in 2014 helped convince a then-10 year old Shaw that “this is really cool, I want to do this”.The Aberdonian admitted going…

That deal did not attract too much attention at the time but, after a storming start to the campaign, concerns began to grow that the All Blacks were potentially losing one of the most gifted wide players in the…

White believes that the Bulls, Lions, Sharks and Stormers cannot compete with European heavyweights in the Investec Champions Cup without a change in selection policy from SA Rugby and has again campaigned for a return to the old restrictions. Previously, the Springboks head coach was barred from selecting players based overseas, much like the current policy implemented by New Zealand Rugby, while Ireland have a similar restriction for Andy Farrell. This helps keep the top…
