Dear Aussie Rugby “Supporters”, Administrators and Media, I write you this open letter with desperation, but also hope. Supporters – I don’t, as a supporter, we don’t, as professional players – understand. We don’t know what you want you want. Last week, the Wallabies turned it on; 7 tries, speed, power and precision. It was an impressive display of the national team wearing gold, yet where were you? Little more than the 30,000 turned out to watch the game in a 50,000 seat stadium. Perhaps you’re all frustrated by years past without meaningful trophies, but that should more reason to…
Cameron Treloar is not happy about Brett Sheehan being left on the bench in his last match for the Force
What a World Cup. It had it all. From Day 1 till the final it was played in the spirit that rugby should be played in. The minnows caused a few frights and even an upset here and there. The kiwis picked a public enemy number one, our own Quade Cooper. The Wallabies continued to show glimpses of what the next few years may hold, and not all of them were good. The final was something to behold and for my mind, was the best final in RWC history. Minnows The minnows made this tournament what it was, and showed…
These last few weeks have been strange. On the field the rugby has been pretty damn exciting. The Reds are on a roll and the Force, while not quite getting the wins, are right there with the best teams in the comp, just lacking that killer one-two combo to get them over the line. The last couple of Waratahs games have been difficult to watch but you can’t fault the effort and the results have come. The Rebels continue to frustrate; there is the talent there without a doubt. The Brumbies are just MIA this season; there is too much…
Last time I wrote for Green and Gold Rugby I gave my thoughts on parts of the game where Europe had it over the local version. There are however, on a professional level a multitude of areas where Professional Rugby in Australia is streets ahead of our European counterparts. My own experience of late just would not happen in Australia. I started the week off as any other, yet in the space of a week I had changed teams, moved cities, dropped down a division and been given a pay rise. 3 weeks later I’m still shaking my head at…
The very culture of how we support our teams, be it the Wallabies or a Super 15 side, is sadly defined by one man: the guy in the tight black t-shirt with the clipboard running the door at Cargo Bar. This guy and others like him at the various establishments around the cities have sucked the very atmosphere out of the Rugby. The man standing at the door, seeing you approaching wearing — shock, horror — a football jersey, radios his mates at other entrances and says the guy in the jersey is a big no-go. The class establishments can’t…
