Last week I analysed the Rebels’ scrum, including a review of the correct techniques for props when scrummaging – click here if you missed it.
This week I’m going to look at the importance of the middle row when scrummaging.

newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article. And when I say bastard, I mean the big RWC monkey off our backs….not France (who were simply magnificent).
New Zealand 8 - France 78-7…. 87? Spooky
What can I say about this match. It was the most traumatic, harrowing 80 minutes of rugby I have ever had to endure and I […]

The Wallabies were comprehensively outplayed by the All Blacks last weekend, so is there any joy in any of the statistics for Wallaby fans? Not really.
The Wallabies won fourteen of their fifteen lineouts lost for a 93% success rate. In defence the All Blacks also lost one lineout from […]

The Wallabies: One Hand Tied Behind Their Backs
October 18th, 2011 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
We all knew that the semi final against the All Blacks was going to be a massive challenge for the Wallabies. Their performance in the quarter final against the Springboks was heroic and produced a win I’ll remember for a long time but let’s face it they didn’t play […]

I sat through it again. To put it politely, it wasn’t particularly fun, but I’m going to pretend it made me a better fan/analyst/master of my shakras.
The game was hard to rate, it wasn’t horrible and the Wallabies came closer to scoring than I remembered, but they never looked […]

Winners are grinners.
Slugso’s Report:
Straight off, I have never experienced an All Black game like this. The revamped Eden Park is a stunner and was an amazing setting for this epic battle to decide who would meet France in the final.
All week the Aussie media and players had been banging on […]

The gulf between the no. 1 and no. 2 sides in the world is as wide as ever as the All Blacks comprehensively outplayed the Wallabies 20-6 in tonight’s RWC semi final.
The natural order of things has been askew of late, with the ABs not winning the Tri Nations […]

As an All Black supporter I have danced the highs and lows following my great team for many, many years. On the eve of our biggest world cup game this tournament, I feel nervous and I am ashamed to admit, I am preparing myself for the worst. Not because I […]

Analysis: Wallabies Lineout Woes

Lineouts are a bit like a magic trick or better still, a magic show. A magic trick doesn’t actually work because of what the magician does at the crucial moment, it relies on a much wider deception to get you watching one thing (or a number of things) so […]
