For the second year in a row the Wallabies have ended their season with an absolute ball-tearer....

I wish I was rating the Pommies. I’d find it a hell of a lot easier. A couple of 9s on the wing, another at scrumhalf and a few in the pack. Throw in some 8’s in the midfield and at the back, as well as on the side of the scrum...

Robbie Deans has steered clear of any dramatic changes to his Wallaby side to take on the All Blacks in yet another Bledisloe dead rubber this weekend. There are two solitary changes to the team that were run down by the All Blacks in their last encounter.  Drew Mitchell, who missed the Sydney test...

What a game! Absolute dominance by the Wallabies in the majority of the first half and then...

Last night to prepare these statistics I watched the game for the first time since seeing it...

Here’s the video of that try and an analysis of how the move works. Adam Ashley-Cooper might have been playing #13 that night but you’ll see that you can interchange players in the different roles for this move. Let’s hope we see some more attractive rugby like this on Saturday night –...

Over the last few weeks in the build up to the Wallabies first Tri Nations game we’ve looked at various aspects of the Wallabies performances so far in 2010.  Today it’s time to look at defence. Over the first four games of the season the Wallabies have attempted 534 tackles and missed...

They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.  If that’s the case then Robbie should be looking over his shoulder for the men in white coats.  In the end, the Aussie selectors have been left with little choice but...

 You know the score, you’ve seen the game and you’ve probably formed a view on what the Wallabies did well and what they can improve on.  What do the statistics show? Do they support your views on what happened in the game? Throughout the Wallabies 2010 campaign we’ll bring you previews, live calls,...

Robbie Deans has named his first test team of the season as the Wallabies prepare to take...

At the end of each game throughout the 2010 Super 14 season over at the forum, readers have submitted their 3-2-1’s for each Australian team. All of these votes will accumulated and an overall 3-2-1 assigned for each match to the three leading point getters for each Aussie team. This is a...

Ok ok. It’s that time of the year when the talk turns to Origin again. Nah, I don’t mean the Slater, Inglis, Lockyer, Hayne, Kimmorley and co. Sure that State of Origin series is on, but it just happens to coincide with the call for a State of Origin in Rugby Union...

It’s been a bad week for Brumbies supporters: Firstly we have Kaplan reffing a home game, which...

Each week we here at G&GR select our Wallaby Team of the Week. Rather obviously, this is...

  As many readers will have now realised, Green and Gold Rugby has started working together on...

Oh come on. Do I have to? REALLY? Sharpie wasn’t the only one swearing in frustration after that round. The Waratahs can count themselves lucky that they were playing the bottom ranked team, otherwise they could have joined the ranks of the Force and Brumbies in a winless round. As it was...

The ‘Super Star’ CA Brumbies take on the Western Force on Friday night at the new home...

I have heard the Brumbies of 2010 described as the Chelsea Football Club of Australian Rugby.  Now,...
