It’s round five and the Brumbies finally get to play a home game tomorrow after trips to Tokyo, Brisbane and Melbourne already in 2018. This week they take on the Sharks and the phrase ‘must win game’ is already being thrown around as they try and get their season back on track and keep in touch with their conference rivals. After last week’s loss to the Rebels in Melbourne, coach Dan McKellar has shaken up things with team selection with no less than six changes to the side as they strive to get back to winning ways. The changes to…

The Brumbies had to work hard for it but they chalked up a 32-25 win over the Sunwolves in Tokyo. In a game where the Sunwolves played well for large stretches of the game with some impressive play and quick ball that caused the Brumbies plenty of problems. The hosts under a new coaching regime with Jamie Joseph and Tony Brown in charge have shown they will trouble some sides if they can play with same intent in future games. The visitors scored five tries to three in the end and trailed 19-15 at half time but regrouped at half…

The Brumbies open their 2018 season against the Sunwolves in Tokyo

There have been a number of changes at the Brumbies in both the playing and coaching teams and fans should be feeling pretty confident of their chances in 2018 considering the playing roster. Dan McKellar has been elevated from assistant to head coach after Stephen Larkham took on a full-time role with the Wallabies and joining him is ‘Lord‘ Laurie Fisher after a stint with Gloucester and Peter Hewat from Suntory to look after the backs. Peter Ryan retains his role as defensive coach and Dan Palmer will oversee the scrum. The Brumbies will be looking to evolve their attacking…

England have made it five wins in a row against Australia with a 30-6 win at Twickenham. It was a game the Wallabies will probably claim as a missed opportunity after they worked back into the game after being second best in most areas and looked to have levelled the score before the game turned back in England’s favour with ten minutes remaining as they scored three late tries to blow the final score out. The Wallabies were down to 13 men at one stage with both Michael Hooper and Kurtley Beale in the bin for infringements and they did…

Queensland Country have claimed their maiden NRC title after a 42-28 win over the Vikings in Canberra. It was a game fitting of the Grand Final between first and second place on the ladder and it came down to the final minutes for Country to seal the game with two late tries. A hat trick to winger Filipo Daugunu and a double to captain Duncan Paia’aua, who also had a hand in a few of the other tries, were instrumental in the Country win but the Vikings will rue their second half after letting slip a 21-7 lead at the…

The Canberra Vikings are into the NRC final next weekend with a tough 40-35 win over the Perth Spirit in the first semi-final in Canberra. It was a real battle as the lead changed hands numerous times but the Vikings came out on top despite a late surge from Perth. Rob Valetini was immense for the Vikings with the match a huge forwards battle but an unlikely hat trick from Perth lock Richie Arnold before half time wasn’t enough for the Spirit as they came up just short of a comeback win. The Match It didn’t take the visitors long…

The Wallabies have been soundly flogged by the All Blacks 54-34 in Sydney tonight as the visitors put on an attacking master class and ripped the Wallabies defensive line to shreds to rack up eight tries in total with doubles to Rieko Ioane and Ryan Crotty. The Wallabies put up some sort of a fight in the second half after trailing 40-6 at the break with some of the bench players putting their hands up for a start next week as the All Blacks put the cue in the rack to reduce the final margin to 20 points.
