JAKE WHITE: ON THE TRI NATIONS
"He’s a little guy and you know my feelings, I think the big good ones are always better than the good little ones, but..." Who is the former Springbok coach talking about? Jake White runs the rule over the current nine-match Series, starting with an assessement of Pieter de Villiers' table-toppers before turning his attention to New Zealand and Australia, and then making his prediction for the title.

IMANOL HARINORDOQUY
With France’s Top 14 underway, we meet one of the competition’s biggest stars - Imanol Harinordoquy. A proud Basque and a cult hero in Biarritz, the France number 8 is a veteran of four Six Nations titles, two Grand Slams and two Rugby World Cups.
