Queensland Reds hooker Stephen Moore announced overnight that, not only would this weekend’s test against Scotland be...
It is nearly Super Rugby season! Are we all getting excited? As a Reds supporter I am trying to keep any excitement, and expectations, in check. But let’s have a look at what the year ahead has in store. The Squad Back in October when the full squad was announced RugbyReg...
With RWC 2015 finally here, it behoves us to assess two of the talking points. For Australia, the...

I was on Twitter on the weekend saying that I could see problems with Tatafu Polota-Nau’s lineout...
It was a tough year for the Brumbies. Their tally of four wins is the lowest they’ve had since the 1998 Super 12 season (which was 11 rounds long). There was the turmoil of a sacked coach, a new coach and then another new coach. Then there were numerous injuries, most notably...
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....
The Wallabies began the Spring Tour on somewhat of a high. A win over the Boks in Bloemfontein gave renewed hope, but still… those All Blacks. They were so damn good. Five tough test matches beginning with a fourth Bledisloe, followed by challenges against the Welsh, the Poms, the Italians and finally...
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...
There were some positive signs from the Wallabies last weekend, unfortunately offset by some negatives. I’d prefer...
The big talking point in the Wallaby team named to play the All Blacks this weekend is the move by Matt Giteau back to five eighth. Robbie Deans decided to use him as the playmaker instead of leaving him at inside centre. Giteau replaces the suspended Quade Cooper – whose suspension is...
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...
About 12 months ago the esteemed Juan Cote put together a few stats from the 2009 Super 14. Great idea I reckon. So I stole it. Now the first Wallaby squad of has been named as of yesterday. As with any team announcement there are always surprise selections and omissions. So this...

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...
