Hugh Godwin
Hugh Godwin is the rugby union writer for Independent on Sunday in the UK, whom he joined in 2000, the same year he became a regular contributor to Scrum.com.
He began reporting rugby matches for the London-based sports agency Hayters soon after leaving school, while working full-time as a library editor for a sports photographic agency, in which capacity he worked at four Olympic Games. He covered the English rugby scene for the Cardiff-based Westgate Sports Agency from 1996 to 1999 and he has attended three Rugby World Cup finals - one as a fan, two as a reporter!
