Wales lock Luke Charteris believes a potential runners-up finish in this seasons Six Nations Championship offers scant consolation for the team. The Racing 92 forward acknowledged that second spot would be an improvement on last term, when Wales ended up third in the table, but Saturdays 25-21 defeat against newly crowned champions England ended their title hopes.Wales will secure second position if they beat Italy at the Principality Stadium next Saturday. Asked if second place would see the current Six Nations campaign regarded as a successful one, Charteris said: No, because we were trying to win it.But if we come second, its one better than last year. Every year we go into the championship trying to win and with the confidence that we can. Weve come up short this year - we will go again next year.Charteris and his colleagues faced a Twickenham debrief at their Vale of Glamorgan training base on Monday, when their sluggish start against England was almost certainly a topic of discussion.Wales trailed 19-0 and 25-7 against England, while an uncharacteristic 19 missed tackles during the first half accelerated their demise.It was a bad day at the office for us - there is no hiding away from that, Charteris said. Wales were punished by England after a poor start at Twickenham We went out there with a goal to win the game and give us a chance to play Italy at home with a chance of winning the championship. That didnt happen, and there are a lot of disappointed boys because of that.There were one or two things in that first half that we will have to address and change. Thats for us this week to have a look at, look back at the videos and work hard, because we have a really big game on Saturday again.We lost a Test match, but the environment we have is always very honest. If the boys play well, they will get praised and be told they played well, and if they play badly, we will be told we played badly.All the boys know we didnt perform as well as we could and should have performed, because we lost the game, so I dont think there will be any surprises in the review. We will take it on the chin and learn from it.I can promise you that going into the game, the boys were highly motivated because if we had won that game we would have had the opportunity to come back to Cardiff on the last weekend of the Six Nations knowing that a win would see us win the championship.Obviously, it didnt go how we wanted it to go in the game.I wish there was a simple answer, but its certainly not a lack of emotion or anything like that. We didnt transfer that preparation and state of how we were feeling into the performance, and that is what we have to address.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Hi Mr. Fraser, When I was watching the Heritage Classic in Vancouver there was a play midway through the third where Ottawa crashed the Canucks net and it came off its moorings.

The 30-year-old slalom specialist from Calgary raced for Canada in February in Sochi, Russia, and also in the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler, B.C. His best Olympic result was 42nd in giant slalom in 2010. Spence finished in the top 20 on the World Cup circuit 14 times during his career. He underwent surgery on his right leg in June. "The surgeon told me pretty bluntly that a lot of athletes have tried to return to high level sport after this and no one has been successful," Spence said in a statement. "I have to look at the next, 30, 40, 50 years of my life." Spence broke his right leg and tore knee ligaments in a crash in Bormio, Italy, in 2005.dddddddddddd It took three years of rehabilitation before he could return to racing. "Id had numerous doctors say I shouldnt return to sport," he said. "The proudest day for me was definitely putting the Team Canada gear on for the Olympics in Vancouver. "I knew even before the Sochi Olympics that the end was probably going to happen sooner rather than later. At 30 years of age, I didnt have the years left in me to battle back from a surgery this big." Spence intends to study commerce at Royal Roads University. "I know theres more to me than just wanting to fire myself down an icy slope in Spandex," Spence said.
