The Wallabies tour to Europe has ended with a tense 29-28 defeat to Wales at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. As it has been in recent times against the Welsh, it was a tight one that came down to the wire as a late Rhys Priestland penalty goal claimed the one-point victory for Wales. It was the discipline of the Wallabies that let them down again as they played 65 minutes without Rob Valetini after he saw red for a dangerous tackle and if that wasn’t enough, they had another ten-minute period without Kurtley Beale for a deliberate knock down…

The Wallabies poor run against England has continued to make it eight losses in a row with a 32-15 defeat at Twickenham. The scoreboard may show a 17-point win for the hosts that blew out with a late try but it could have been a lot worse if not for some dogged defence at times. It was a frustrating game to watch for the Wallabies and were their own worst enemy as a lack of execution in attack saw them unable to string many phases together and lay any sort of attacking platform. Discipline was also an issue with 18…

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has named a 37-man squad for the Spring tour for games in Japan and Europe against Scotland, England and Wales. After much speculation and with changes surrounding the Giteau Law, Rennie has selected three French based forwards in Rory Arnold, Will Skelton and Tolu Latu for the tour. Those players will be joined by the Japanese team aligned contingent of Quade Cooper, Sean McMahon and Samu Kerevi to bolster the squad with much needed experience. Rennie has also named four uncapped players with the Waratahs centre pairing of Izaia Perese and Lalakai Foketi, Brumbies hooker Connal…

QUICK MATCH STATS Ryan Lonergan penalty goal wins it after the siren Allan Alaalatoa red carded on half time Matt To’omua 8 penalty goals The Brumbies have snatched a late win over the Rebels with a balls of steel penalty goal from replacement scrum half Ryan Lonergan from the halfway line to steal a 27-24 bonus point win over a dogged Rebels side. Just like against the Reds, the Rebels frustrated the opposition with the trusty golden boots of Matt Toomua landing eight penalties on the night and they could have even won the match at the death but for…

The Dave Rennie Wallabies era is off and running with a dramatic game in Wellington.

The Brumbies are the Super Rugby AU champions after a tense 28-23 win over the Reds in Canberra. In the end, it was a game befitting of the final as the Reds threw everything at the Brumbies in the last quarter but couldn’t come away with what would have been a remarkable victory to end a six year losing streak in the capital given they lost arguably their best player in Jordan Petaia followed Lukhan Salakaia-Loto for the second half. Tries to Folau Fainga’a, Andy Muirhead and Tom Banks and the boot of Noah Lolesio were enough to see off…

The Brumbies and Reds face off in Canberra on Saturday to be crowned Super Rugby AU champions

Dave Rennie has announced his first Wallabies squad.

The Brumbies had to make hard work it against a determined Western Force side but eventually came away with a 31-14 win in Canberra and secure top spot in Super Rugby AU standing and the right to host the final on September 19. The Force may not have won a game yet in Super Rugby AU but they dominated the opening 25 minutes of the game with a mix of strong forwards play and pressuring the Brumbies into mistakes to stifle their play in a game that was nowhere near as comfortable for the Brumbies as the final score suggested.…
