In bringing you our analysis of the Wallabies each week, we need to watch and re-watch the game to find the most relevant information to highlight and sometimes it can be painful going through that process.  However, this week it felt like Groundhog Day – I couldn’t escape the feeling that I’ve...

For followers of the Waratah’s fortunes, the last two games have been critical indicators as to whether last year’s malaise was a bump in the road, or a downward trend. The last minute win against the Reds last week papered over an uninspiring performance, but this weekend’s shellacking in Capetown (27-6 to...

What a difference a week makes! Against Scotland the Wallabies were running across field and throwing cut out passes to try and get around the defence.  Against Wales the attack was much more direct and effective. The really good thing about the attack this week was players working hard off the ball...

In each Tri-Nations match so far the Wallabies have failed royally in at least in one major facet of the game, which has either released pressure on the opposition, or created it on themselves. In Auckland it was the scrum, in Cape Town it was the line-out. Last Saturday it was their...

Following Auckland we had a look at the passing stats of the two Wallaby half backs, and by request we’ve repeated it for last weekend’s test in Cape Town. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZZMd8ebRSo As you can see in the table below,

A lot’s been said about the Wallabies lack of discipline conspiring to lose the test at Newlands, but despite 3 yellow cards in one game, what I believe did more to self sabotage the Wallabies was their failure to maintain field position and pressure through a dismal line-out performance. Below you’ll see...
