A much better performance from the Wallabies last week but the All Blacks still look another step up in class.
The statistics confirm what most of us already know – the Wallabies are retaining possession but have little to offer in attack. It’s obvious to the vast majority of G&GR readers […]

Wallabies: Fix The Basics
August 4th, 2010 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
The Wallabies needed to pressure the All Blacks on Saturday by taking advantage of their opportunities but instead they kept making basic mistakes which gave the momentum back to the All Blacks.
Dropped balls when hard on attack, soft attempts at tackling, failing to find touch, silly penalties, lineout & scrum […]

WARNING!!! If the pain from yesterday’s video on lost possession hasn’t subsided, don’t watch the video because although it’s not quite as painful, it’s shows plenty of ”basic” mistakes the Wallabies need to eliminate.
In the first four tests of the season the Wallabies have kicked the ball 82 times – that’s around […]

So far in the 2010 season the Wallabies have given up possession 60 times (an average of 15 times per game) though forward passes, dropped ball, getting bundled into touch or chip & grubber kicks that have gone wrong. That’s 30% of the times they’ve started a possession sequence.
When you […]

Wow! We have some very attentive readers. The number of things people picked up that might link the eights scrums I showed you last week together was amazing. It may well be that some of those even apply to 74 of the 75 scrums so far this season but […]

FIJI – Luke Burgess
ENGLAND – Luke Burgess
ENGLAND – Will […]

Wallaby supporters would hardly have been filled with confidence for the upcoming Tr-Nations by the performance against Ireland.
The Wallabies had 145 phases from the 50 times they commenced a possession sequence. Yet they were only able to make five line breaks and score two tries (one of which was […]

Lee Coan wrote this article. There are a number of proposed reasons going around for why Australia, having started so promisingly, lost in Auckland. The Wallabies no doubt created the lions share of attacking opportunities, yet consistently failed to convert pressure to points.
Seeking clarity, I’ve gone back through the tape minute by minute, identifying […]
