The Brumbies have faced many tests in 2012 but their match against the Hurricanes in Wellington must be the toughest of the season so far. With the cruel injury that struck down in form flyhalf Christian Lealiifano in the final play of the Waratahs match, the call went out […]

Today I want to talk about the Brumbies and the foundations of their consistent, high quality performances, which are attractive and exciting for fans – and, no doubt, also for their players.

Last week I analysed the Rebels scrum which included a review of the correct techniques for props when scrummaging – click here if you missed it.
That analysis included some footage of Sekope Kepu playing at loosehead which sparked a discussion on the merits of Kepu and his form for both the […]

The Brumbies roll into Johannesburg to take on the Lions this week. It’s not often you can say a team is full of confidence after a loss however the way they played against the Bulls, especially in the second half of last weeks game, it would be difficult not […]

The Brumbies put up a valiant display against the Bulls before the combination of poor discipline and Morne Steyn’s kicking boot saw them go down fighting 36-34 at Loftus.

The Rebels started with a front row of Nic Henderson, Adam Freier and Rodney Blake against Tony Woodcock, Keven Mealamu and Charlie Faumuina. From the first scrum the Rebels were under pressure and they were further disrupted […]

The Brumbies put their credentials on the line this week when they take on the Bulls in Pretoria.
This tour of South Africa for the Brumbies will prove either that they are the real deal or are just the beneficiaries of a fluke start to the season. It could also […]

I hate to say it, but nothing much has changed in the total picture following this weekend’s Super Rugby matches. New Zealand and South African teams are still playing at a level way above our Aussie teams. If anything, South African teams remain the big improvers, with the Bulls […]

A few weeks back, I said that New Zealand rugby was looking in great shape, with South Africa behind them and Aussie rugby trailing behind. On the evidence of this weekend, I’m thinking that South African rugby has caught up quite a bit – and, horror, they are playing […]
