    Super Rugby Final: Reds v. Crusaders Review

    When the two finalists of the 2011 Super Rugby tournament ran onto the field last night the only people confidently picking a favourite were the bookies. And the bookies were the only people to be wrong. This was a game that wasn’t decided until the final whistle blew, and even then it...

    Who’ll Be Smiling After Saturday Night?

    The bookies think it’ll be the team in Red… sorry, Grey! I feel most people think the Crusaders are the favourites, and most Aussies hope it’s the Reds but suspect it might be the Crusaders. Before the semi-finals I was asked for my predictions – I went with the Reds over the...

    A Game Too Far: Hurricanes v. Reds Review

    In my preview I suggested that the result of this game would come down to who wanted it more. It now looks like both teams wanted it pretty badly. The Hurricanes reminded everyone that they are a New Zealand rugby powerhouse and the Reds were in it until the final kick of...

    Tear Down the Wall! Reds Defeat the Stormers

    This was a game that all but the diehard fans thought they couldn’t win! But by 3:00 am AEST on Sunday the Reds had achieved the seemingly impossible: they had taken apart the Stormers’ defensive line and beaten them 19–6. It was the nature of the win that was most impressive. This...

    Reds wobble to 5-point victory over luckless Lions

    The Lions came into this match with one win from six matches, having lost four-from-five by less than seven points. The Reds were sitting atop the Australian conference with four wins, but still looking for the attacking form they showed last year. After the game nothing much has changed: the Lions are...

    Preview: Reds v. Cheetahs

    On Saturday at 2:40 pm the Reds play their first game against a team outside the Australian Conference. They come up against a Cheetahs side buoyed by their first-ever win on Australian soil. Their win against the Waratahs was a lesson in sticking to your game plan. They attacked the Waratahs’ ruck...

    Super Rugby Round 3 Review

    Round 3 of the 2011 Super Rugby season was a tough one for Australian Rugby fans. OK, fine, the Reds won. But it was at the expense of the Brumbies and the game was hardly one to showcase all that is great about rugby. Meanwhile… the Tahs? Smashed. Rebels? Smashed. Force? Smashed....
