Welsh rugby's greatest ever victories with a bonus of Wales' great 25-20 comeback in 1988, with the superb Ieuan Evans try, thought to be his best in a Welsh jersey.20th Apr 1985 - Wales 24 England 15, Cardiff Arms ParkEngland full-back Chris Martin is still probably having nightmares about the day when he dropped a high ball and Jonathan Davies pounced to score a try with England leading 15-12. The English never recovered from the mistake and Wales went on to win. With his try Davies became the first Welshman since Dicky Ralph in 1913 to score on his debut.1st February 1986 - Wales 22 Scotland 15, CardiffPaul Thorburn was almost spirited off to American Football after this game as he landed one of the most famous - and certainly longest - penalties in the history of the game. The prolific Thorburn kicked a goal from 70 yards to stretch Wales' lead. It was a day when Scotland outscored Wales 3-1 on the try count and this ensured the game was a see-saw battle, with the lead changing hands throughout the game. Adrian Hadley grabbed Wales' only try, Thorburn kicked five pens and Jonathan Davies chipped in with a drop goal.15th Feb 1986 - Ireland 12 Wales 19, DublinThis Welsh team, led by Llanelli's David Pickering never knew when it was beaten! They conceded 12 points just after half time but Wales still roared back from 12-4 down to lead 16-12, before Paul Thorburn kicked the last points of the match. Tries from the two Phils, Lewis and Davies, set the Welsh steamroller going while Thorburn was his usual errorless self. Paul Moriarty made his debut.7th March 1987 - Wales 19 England 12, Cardiff Arms ParkThis game will be remembered for what went on off the ball as 'The Battle of Cardiff' raged. Four England players were banned after an RFU investigation but Wales won on the pitch, prop Stuart Evans barging over for the only try of the game. The rest of the points came from Mark Wyatt's boot.18th Jun 1987 - (WC) Australia 21 Wales 22, RotoruaWelsh victories against Australia are few and far between and Wales haven't recorded one since this unforgettable World Cup clash in New Zealand, which took them to third place. Wales staged the late, late show to win the game, trailing 21-16 going into the final minute. Adrian Hadley was their try saviour with Paul Thorburn landing a touchline conversion to seal the win. Gareth Roberts and Paul Moriarty had contributed earlier tries.6th Feb 1988 - England 3 Wales 11, TwickenhamWales' last victory at Twickenham came on the day when Wales selected four outside-halves (Bleddyn Bowen, Mark Ring, Tony Clement and Jonathan Davies) in a back line that produced two tries for wing Adrian Hadley. A year after the infamous battle of Cardiff the game also saw a drop goal from Davies on a day that will live long in the memories of Welsh rugby fans.BONUS GAME: 20th Feb 1988 - Wales 25 Scotland 20, Cardiff Arms ParkA great comeback from the Welsh sealed this Cardiff victory, a year after Scotland had won in Murrayfield. Scotland sprinted into a 20-10 lead before Wales pulled them back to 20-19, only for Jonathan Davies to kick two drop goals and his side to victory. The Welsh comeback included two superb tries - one from Davies outsprinting Derek White and the other from Ieuan Evans, which many believe was his best in a Welsh jersey.
of Welsh rugby's finest performances, plus a bonus of Wales' sensational 43-35 victory over the French from Stade de France in 2001.6th February 1993 - Wales 10-9 EnglandRory Underwood close your eyes as Ieuan Evans and Wales pip the victory from under your nose. This game will be remembered for the way Underwood was caught napping by Evans after Emyr Lewis kicked ahead. Wales came into the game fearing a big defeat as they hadn't beaten England since 1989 and had lost 24-0 and 25-6 on their last two outings. Mike Rayer had a great day as the last line of the Welsh defence and Jon Webb hit a post with a penalty as England did all they could to get back in to the match.19th February 1994 - Wales 24-15 FranceWales were in the doldrums and came into the match having not beaten the French since 1982. That terrible run was ended by a certain young Scott Quinnell who tore down the touchline for one of the greatest tries in Welsh history. Wales looked to be coasting in this game at 17-3 but the French roared back and it was left to Nigel Walker to grab the vital try after more good work from that man Quinnell!6th March 1999 - France 33-34 WalesWales' first victory in Paris since 1975 and a truly remarkable performance against a French team looking for their third successive Grand Slam. It was a game which had everything, seven tries including a hattrick from Emile N'tamack, penalties, classic moves and pure, pure drama. The game ebbed and flowed right up to Thomas Castaignede's final missed penalty, and ultimately it was Neil Jenkins' five penalties to Castaignede's three that clinched the game.11th April 1999 -Wales 32-31 EnglandWhat can you say about this game? Played at Wembley it was the last ever game in the Five Nations history, and was probably one of the most dramatic ever seen. An incredible atmosphere in front of the Welsh fans but the team were always behind and in truth never looked like pegging back England. Yet with one minute of injury time gone, and Wales trailing 31-25 Scott Gibbs got hold of the ball and ripped the heart out of England with a magical try. Then super-cool Neil Jenkins converted, the final whistle went, and Wembley went mad!5th June 1999 - Argentina 26-36 WalesAt 23-0 down Wales looked like going the way of previous tourists to Argentina and ending up on the wrong end of a bruising encounter. However, tries from James, Sinkinson and Wyatt, a drop-goal from Shane Howarth and 18 points from Neil Jenkins turned the game around. It was the biggest come-back in Test series and an amazing game.26th June 1999 - Wales 29-19 South AfricaThe very first game to be played at the Millennium Stadium and the match will live forever in Welsh folklore. It was Wales' first ever victory over South Africa and there was no questioning of the merit of the win. Wales grabbed an early lead through the ever-reliable boot of Neil Jenkins and never looked like relenting it. The performance was capped by a perfection try from Gareth Thomas and the celebrations began.Bonus Game: 17th March 2001 - France 35-43 WalesAcclaimed as Wales' greatest performance ever in Paris, this end to end match had the crowd captivated. France did lead 19-9 but then Wales went on the rampage. Rob Howley's sensational individual try will be remembered as one of Wales' greats and additional tries by Scott Quinnell, Dafydd James and Neil Jenkins secured victory. Jenkins added 4 conversions, three penalties and two drop goals to his try and his 28 points took him past 1,000 for Wales. What a game!

...2002 was a pretty good year for American television, with accolades being given left, right and centre for shows such as 'The West Wing' and '24'. However, the best TV show to come out of the States last year was undoubtedly 'Six Feet Under', which follows the trials and tribulations of the Fisher family as they try to run their independent funeral home.
The first series of the show introduced us to the Californian clan with the death of the father of the house, Nathanial Fisher Snr through a bizarre road accident. We are then taken on a roller-coaster ride through their complicated lives as they try to keep their father's business going in the face of adversity.
The programme manages to mix subtle comedy with high emotion, and is fantastically written, allowing all of the individual characters to thoroughly develop within...

...I have been a great fan of the Corrs since their album in 1996. I agree that their music has changed over the years, nevertheless I still like the Irish band and their songs.
I went to see them in concert last year and it was just GREAT !!
Unfortunately Caroline was not on stage as she was pregnant and could not travel.
So, I have got all the CDs at home and it is no surprise that I bought DVDs.
The first one I bought was the best of the Corrs. It is a relevant choice if you are a big fan : if you are keen on the career of the band, you will realize that their music has changed as time went by. "Breathless" is different from "Runaway".
If you prefer a period than anotheir of their work, you'd rather stick to theirs CD albums.
On the cover, you can see the photos of the four members of the band : Andrea [ lead vocals, thin...
