Editor’s Choice: Niall Griffiths F***s Down Under

Niall Griffiths is an author that has an incredibly strong association with place. Born in Liverpool and brought up in Wales, his novels bare a strong reflection of where he comes from with his novel Sheepshagger being one of the most iconic pieces of literature to come out of Wales in recent years. Australia, then, is not something that we would normally associate with the Welsh name.

DEFCON: Everybody Dies

The premise of this game is simple. Due to a political meltdown of unknown origin, your continent is at war with others. You can choose to fling nuclear death at North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Russia or Asia. Australia isn’t a playable country/nation, which is probably pretty accurate. Good call.

Can England hit the world for ‘six’ and add to Ashes glory?

FROM THE ROAR of a partisan host nation crowd that greets every boundary to the visual impact of coloured kits that replace the standard white test strips; the chance to see the world’s finest with bat and ball shine, and the anticipation of giant-killing by a non-test nation: the Cricket World Cup possesses a unique ability to intrigue and engage.

Praise went to the usual likes of Andrew Strauss, James Anderson and Alastair Cook; however a creditable mention went to England Fitness Coach and Swansea University PhD student, Huw Bevan.

A mixed bag of rugby with some interesting results

 

ANOTHER February, another Six Nations, but far from being a calendar disrupting formality, this year’s competition has the added spice of being in World Cup year.

The likes of South Africa, Australia, and World Cup hosts New Zealand will be paying special attention to what goes on above the equator, make no mistake.
