OK, it wasn't difficult to predict George Smith picking up the John Eales medal again ( the first man to do so), but once more the sharp rugby brains that read this blog got it right in the poll we ran. Despite the worlds best 7 looking distinctly non-plussed in the photo above, he certainly...

In the good old days (2007) we would have had stories of piss-ups, punch-ups and coaching fall-out in the lead up to a tour or tournament, but with the Deans honeymoon period still in full swing it's pretty damn quiet. So I thought I'd get our heads back in the game by running over a few of the...

A few posts back I sprayed a few words about the Seagull - Nathan Sharpe - and it sparked off a bit of conversation. Since then, the crappy news landed that the most promising Wallaby find of 2008 - Big Kev Horwill - won't be touring the Northern Hemisphere owing to a buggered foot. With Vicks...

In May 2007 I started Green and Gold Rugby (G&GR) as an experiment in Australian rugby blogging that has since taken over my, and many other lives. In September 2007, Scarfie and a number of other visionaries started The Yellow Scarf to show the Kiwis how it's done. In an online mega-merger...
