Rugby News

FutureNet World News

Has almost daily articles on rugby in their sports section. They are generally brief, balanced and informative.

Electronic Telegraph

Good source of results for English domestic competitions. The stories tend to be more nationalistic bluster than newsworthy though.

NandO (News and Observer) sports server

A general sports server with several rugby articles on a regular basis. An excellent timely source of international results.

Irish Times online

Occasional items on Irish rugby.

Gerhard Veldsman's Rugby News

A commendable compilation of rugby headlines from around the world with good South African connections.

The newsgroup rec.sport.rugby.union is a good source for rugby news the world over but the signal to noise ratio has dropped markedly in recent years.

Also check out on-line rugby magazines.

There are other news sources that sometimes have rugby but the above I have found to be the best. However, if you've nothing better to do you can try:

• The Press Association (PA) NewsCentre
• The Press On-line (New Zealand)
• Rugby in the Weekly Mail and Guardian News archive (Johannesburg, SA)
• The Electronic Herald (Scotland)
• Daily Record and Sunday Mail (Scotland)
• Scottish News on the Internet
