Whinging already? A future 'tah for sure.
With the Melbourne Rebels now in the player market place, not too long after the WA Force entered, a subset issue is now a subject of hot discussion. Who can lay claim to the player. It is a common cry out of NSWRU […]

Anesi - really enjoying himself.
And so we look back on week 2 with mixed views. The Reds won, and won well, which everyone seems pretty pleased about. The Brumbies, Force and Tahs all lost on the road which shouldn’t really be a surprise should it?
Perhaps we expected more from […]

Every week during the Super 14 season G&GR will take a look at the key plays and players of the week just had. We can be a myopic lot here at G&GR sometimes, so no point stopping now.
Let’s make it clear. Our focus is the Wallabies, so these reviews […]

the new Christian Warner?
Waratahs boss Chris Hickey appears to have the balance of his line-up bang on for the season opener against Link’s men.
His back three can post tries from anywhere on the paddock and have the ability to interchange seamlessly between wing and full back. Expect Sos, Lacky […]

What a legend!
Well, the people have spoken. The votes are in and we have our official Green & Gold Rugby Wallaby Team of the Decade!
As many people suggested throughout the series, many of the positions were fairly cut and dried. Scrum Half and Fly Half, for example. There were […]

Wallaby Loose Head Prop of the Decade

"I Dunno"
We finally reach the last position in the team, if only because of its numerical allocation. For mine, this will be one of the most interesting ‘battles’ of the series. Now I expect most people to jump on the current incumbent (tautology?), but I think that is unfair […]

As you can see in our 2009 highlights package, we’re pretty frikken proud of our Wallaby scrum. Minus a few dodgy ref calls earlier in the season, they’ve taken apart nigh on all-comers, blooding a brand new tight head prop along the way. But how can we quantify how […]

The G&GR Wallaby Player of the Year – Domestic Rugby Series
November 29th, 2009 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
The Wallabies started their 2009 test campaign against Italy in Canberra all the way back in June. Fourteen tests and about six months later the Wallabies won less than 50% of their games. As a whole the season was… disappointing. Bordering on disastrous. The continued failing in the Tri-Nations […]

Video spotlight: Joubert at Eden Park
July 20th, 2009 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. There’s been more than enough talk about it, so I’ve thrown a few video clips together (and had a bit of fun with the soundtrack….)

a) Joubert’s absolute fucking cluelessness at scrum time, which he compounded by taking (unfortunately) the easiest route in international rugby; […]
