Richard III dig: DNA confirms bones are king. 4 February 2013Last updated at 15:15 GMT The skeleton is 'beyond reasonable doubt' the remains of Richard III A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park has been confirmed as that of English king Richard III. Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch's family. Lead archaeologist Richard Buckley, from the University of Leicester, told a press conference to applause: "Beyond reasonable doubt it's Richard. " Richard, killed in battle in 1485, will be reinterred in Leicester Cathedral. Mr Buckley said the bones had been subjected to "rigorous academic study" and had been carbon dated to a period from 1455-1540. Dr Jo Appleby, an osteo-archaeologist from the university's School of Archaeology and Ancient History, revealed the bones were of a man in his late 20s or early 30s.
His skeleton had suffered 10 injuries, including eight to the skull, at around the time of death. 'Humiliation injuries' Missing princes DNA trail Tomb plans. Wales 22-30 Ireland: Rob Howley has to face up to problems - Rugby News - Rugby. Wales 22-30 Ireland With ultimate authority comes ultimate responsibility and that’s the reality Rob Howley is faced with today. Going into the Six Nations, Howley had welcomed the fact that there was now greater clarity on the coaching front. He felt the set-up had been compromised during the autumn, where he was in charge for the first two games and Warren Gatland for the second two. With Gatland now away on his Lions sabbatical and not involved at all, the situation is less ambiguous. Howley is the man in charge, clear and simple. Whether you call him the interim or caretaker coach, the key word is coach. It’s his show now and the buck stops with him.

It has been dominated by a theme of bewilderment and confusion over what has happened to the team that, not so long ago, were the darlings of northern hemisphere rugby. Having reached the 2011 World Cup semi-finals and gone on to win a 2012 Grand Slam, Wales have now lost a record five successive games at the Millennium Stadium. Against that backdrop, Rob Howley is standing in for British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland as Wales' interim boss. Wales' winless run.
