Slowly moving around the field for Steve Walsh to award a total of 8 scrum penalties to the English as they outscored the Australian Barbarians 15-9 to record their first victory in the Southern Hemisphere since coach Martin Johnson retired. In what is quite possibly a first for a Barbarians fixture zero tries were scored in the match, with the only…

FINAL SCORE: Australian Barbarians 28 (JOC 3 tries, 2 conv, 1 pen; Barnes 2 pen) England 28 (….. about 7 pens and 1 try to Banahan) The teams named for tonight’s tour match at ME Bank Stadium, Perth, on Tuesday 9 June (kick-off 7.05pm, AWST) were:

The Fijians showed up tonight and played a much more competitive and aggressive brand of rugby than was expected. While the Fijians failed to turn any of their opportunities into points, nervous moments for Wallabies supporters were plentiful as our scrambling defense denied them the points they deserved. The defensive highlight was a sustained period of Fijians pressuring against our try line for about 5 minutes around the 70 minute mark being the most testing period.

It’s tragic, but I’ll be up at 3am to watch an all Saffa Super 14 final, don’t make me do it alone!

The Stormers are through to their first ever Super rugby final after beating the Waratahs this morning. As I battled a massive hangover this morning, this song from the Wedding Singer came into my head and pretty much sums up how I feel after this manic-depressive season. Language warning

FINAL SCORE: Brumbies 32 – Reds 12

With today’s news that the Brumbies have called for Steve Walsh’s head, here is our highlights package from Saturday’s derby against the Waratahs. Personally I feel the Brumbies should take a good look at the way their captain Stephen Hoiles is antagonising Walsh.

Well done to the Tahs, holding out 14-10 to beat the Force in Perthfontein. If you’re not a fan of hapless attack, kicking, or penalties, then the highlight of the match could well be Sharpey saying fuck at the press conference.
