After instinctively opening BBC sport for the sixteenth time today, only to be met with another update of which sport has been added to the ‘indefinitely suspended’ list, it seemed like a good time to reflect on where the 6 Nations has left the status of international rugby.
Sheffield is a university city, and so like some other clubs we have a younger demographic of students or recent graduates. However Glenn Allen wanted to share his experiences of being part of the Sheffield Vulcans and getting involved with Inclusive Rugby, even though he isn’t his 20s 😉
“I played a lot of Rugby, in my hometown, at Uni and for Sheffield Tigers but finished at the age of 28. Torn knee ligaments in a skiing accident caused me to miss the second half of that season, slow rehabilitation and a promotion at work meant my priorities changed and I never went back the following season.

It’s finally here. It’s finally time to fill that big Tokyo shaped hole in your heart with 8 weeks of everyone’s favourite annual sporting occasion. On Saturday the Six Nations is here, and it might be the tightest to call for some time.

Following some feedback from the predictions of resident Welsh man Dan Giles, some other Vulcans wanted to weigh in on what is going to happen over the next few weeks in the Rugby World Cup 2019. Mark Morgan tells us his opinions and a less celtic opinion piece.
The 2019 edition of the Rugby World Cup certainly has all the key ingredients to make this instalment not only one of the most unpredictable but also one of the best tournaments in the sports history. From being hosted by an emerging nation on the sports world stage, not to mention one of the most welcoming and enthusiastic around, to the fact that form and slight falls from grace have teased us that maybe, just maybe, we can look past the mighty All Blacks! Here are a few things I think may happen during the coming weeks.
As we get closer and closer to the Rugby World Cup, the Sheffield Vulcans turned to one of our own to share their views on what could happen in the upcoming tournament. Winner of Vulcan of the Year 2018/2019, Daniel Giles, give us his predictions on each team and how they’ll perform in Japan. DISCLAIMER – He is Welsh 😉
Compared to years past, recent media has shown a rise in positive representation, not only for LGBT community, but women, and people of colour. No longer are we left with only small cult films and literature about “bohemian” lifestyles, but in all mainstream media from books and comics to Hollywood films, people are seeing people like themselves telling and starring in stories. To wrap up LGBT History Month, Vulcans Captain Michael Hudson shares his top choices for LGBT representation.
As the tournament approaches Sheffield Vulcans resident rugby guru and unashamedly biased Scot, Innes MacLeod, casts his eye over the upcoming fixtures and predicts who will be lifting the trophy and what else we can expect from the tournament.
