I read with interest in today's The Australian an article by Wayne Smith titled It reported that Mckenzie was bewildered at the Reds over use of the pick & drive and driving maul, with not enough ball going out to the backs to do their thing. Much like happened against the Brumbies the previous...

Both the Reds and the Chiefs have a bye for Round 8. Currently the Chiefs are in 2nd position, and the Reds are 4th in the Super 15 standings, with the Bulls, like other teams in the NZ and SA conferences, having an extra game up their sleeve. The Reds are currently 3 points behind the chiefs...

The Fox Sports internet site reports the discontent from the Super 15 sides at the prospect of losing their Wallaby players more than two weeks out before the first test against the Lions The Waratahs could lose up to 10 players for their game against the Western Force, and the Rebels a...

With the oncoming internationals and the wallabies in training camp, who should be selected for the no. 10 position which is so important to the structure of the game. There was criticism of the way Cooper played in the world cup, but was that in part due to the rigid structure set up by Deans...

Although the game is still two weekends away, there is already quite a bit of speculation about it, particularly who is best between Hooper & Gill, contraversial suggestions that the Reds pack humiliated the Brumbies pack in their last outing etc. What makes this game a stand out is how these...

With the recent happenings of Will Genia, and Super 15 team Force badly needing a fly half, combined with the Rugby League clubs developing cash chests with the revenue expected from media arrangements, there is plenty of talk about where does QC (Quade Cooper) go? I'm of the impression that he's going to bide...

I notice that in The Australian daily newspaper that only Brett Harris is reporting on rugby. Wayne Smith, who was able to put a great slant on all things rugby, is currently in the West Indies covering the test cricket between Pina Coladas. Yesterday there was no journalist accredited with the...

The battle of words is warming up! To quote in other G & G posts @ Jimmy Crouch "P Tah I totally agree that the Reds will struggle. Can people also cut the Link is a hero crap. Look he has done very well with the Reds. Two years, one finals appearance one championship. Surely Mooney gets some...
