News Sources

[Aedaphon]

To the more veteran members of the forum, who are the most reliable and unreliable rugby news sources?

I've got my rugby news from scrum.com for the longest time and have rarely had a problem but sometimes I'm a little late to the news.

There is good information and always have lineups of the teams before the games. It's one of my favourites rugby websites, also Planet Rugby and Scrum.

Reuters usually carry just about everything first, although it wont be as in depth as specialist sites.

Twitter is a good source if you follow the key journalists/coaches. Some of the better ones:

@simonrug
@petersuntimes
@BrendanFanning

Mortimer is good for French rugby info. Thomas is excellent for Welsh rugby news. The others are good in an Irish context with O'Reilly and Fanning having their finger closest to the pulse.

For SA it's Supersport as the most reliable. Sport24 is also good, but they copy Supersport as they are using the same journalists.

Reuters usually gives me reliable news on the international front as well as Scrum.com

I'm a bit reluctant to follow other reports who doesn't have some sort of pedigree or who are a bit unknown.

Wikipedia is unreliable as an Aussie vowing to go on a EOYT without having a drink...
