18 November 2025Good morning team, and welcome to Tuesday’s news. It was a tough weekend at the end of a tough three weeks of results for Wallabies fans; maybe the silver lining is that there’s only one game left this year before the players and us fans can have some time off, enjoy some other interests, recharge for the festive season, and then get back into it for Super Rugby next year.If you’re still looking for more rugby to watch after this week, the Sevens season kicks off in Dubai on the weekend of 29-30 November and, hopefully, the Aussies…

11 November 2025Good Morning G&GRs, and welcome to another Tuesday’s Rugby News. We’re getting close to the end of the year, which seems to be merciful for us Wallabies fans as it’s been tough going in recent weeks, and months. It’s Remembrance Day today, I’ll leave it to others to write about the reasons we acknowledge the day, the sacrifices that were made in the past, the sacrifices that all men and women who have served made, or currently serve make, for us, and not least of all, the price paid by civilians across the globe as their countries and…

4 November 2025Hi team, and welcome to another Tuesday’s Rugby News. It’s a busy time of year for rugby fans with the southern hemisphere teams on their annual travels up north to take on the best of the home nations and France.

28 October 2025Good morning team, and welcome to another Tuesday’s news as we approach the critical northern hemisphere tour. I was going to say spring tour, but it was 37 degrees in Brisbane on Monday, so feels more like summer in the sunshine state.There’s plenty of news to go around today if you’re a Reds and Wallabies fan, including the sad news that Liam Wright is leaving the Reds after an injury cursed 2025, some reinforcements on the way to the Wallabies squad and, because it’s a Wallaby test week, we’ll do some player ratings from the test against Japan.Liam…

21st October 2025Good morning team, and welcome to another edition of Tuesday’s news. It’s been an interesting couple of weeks following the end of the Rugby Championship and waiting for the Autumn Tour series to start in earnest. As usual, there are always things happening in the world of rugby. RA did their bit to help us out by holding their awards night on Friday night last week to fill a gap in the rugby schedule, there were some key Aussies plying their trade in the PREM in the UK, while the contenders for the final spot at RWC2027 were…

14 October 2025Good morning team, and welcome to another Tuesday’s Rugby News from warm sunny Brisvegas. We still have 6 weeks or so until summer officially arrives, but we had a fantastic weekend with 30 degree sunny days, and a Sunday evening thunderstorm. But, it’s still spring, which means we aren’t far away from the (northern) Autumn Tour with some mouth watering matches against the northern hemisphere sides and a super important ranking for our chances at the 2027 World Cup. We’ll have a look at the Wallabies squad for the Autumn Tour, check in on the Australia A team…

Good morning G&GRs and welcome to another edition of Tuesday’s rugby News. Those of you from the Sunshine State will appreciate that it felt a bit summery on the weekend, the sun had some bite to it. The school holidays have arrived so the roads out of Brisbane to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts were full of people wanting to catch some waves rather than rugby balls; maybe that’s what afflicted the Reds in Narrabri.But as Bris covered yesterday, there was still some important rugby played, particularly the World Cup semi-finals, congratulations to England and Canada for qualifying for the…
