Rugby has many journalist all over the world reporting on the best of the best and even the worst of the worst. There are reporters who cover tournaments like the ruby world cup, European rugby championships and many tournaments placed all over the globe. Paul Rees is a reporter I favor because he always has a unbiased viewpoint on the team or game at hand, and is full of knowledge about the actual game. He was born in Cardiff and has been a full-time writer on rugby union since 1986, first for the South Wales Echo, then Wales and Sunday, from 2001, the Guardian and the Observer, having contributed to the former on a freelance basis since 1988. He has covered every World Cup since 1991 and five Lions tours. When time allows, he also write on cricket, but mainly focuses on rugby. He reports on both the women and men leagues and has many articles informing people about the rugby league dedicated to gay players. His contributions to rugby have been seen and he is acknowledged as one of the most dedicated journalists of the sport. To this day he releases articles, his most recent being on the America USA 7's tournament that took place in the beginning of March at Las Vegas. He is planning on continuing his career until he no longer can travel all over the world. In his autobiography, which was released in 2009, he stated that rugby is not just a game but a life style. Paul Rees has had many articles about the rugby world cup that have gone viral on the web with his comments pertaining to the All Blacks. Unlike many reporters he believes the All Blacks have lost focus on the true spirit of the game and believes that it is suppose to be a purely gentlemen's game. He has declared his excitement for the upcoming Olympics with the reintroduction of rugby 7's, and fully intends to attend to report about the finalists. Paul Rees has dedicated the majority of his life to entertaining his followers and to rugby itself, in the eyes of many he is considered a legend.
