That was edge of the seat stuff for a bit last night - not only did the Pumas stop us scoring, then score themselves … but they had the lead on us and created some very nervous moments for All Black fans last night. Were we going to be knocked […]

A good team, not a great team. Argentina have a willing forward pack but they leave rather a lot to be desired when it comes to attack. Wonderful supporters, and it will be fantastic to see them in the four nations next year. I will eat my hat […]

Scott “Cote” Bryant and I dial up Gagger who is doing it tough in a winery somewhere on the South Island of Un Zud and have a chat about the upcoming Quarter Finals.
Some of the games we tip the same, some different. Who will have predicted right. Go the […]

I only bought tickets to this game a few days earlier, and roped some mates in. We went along knowing that the Scots and Pumas are probably pretty evenly matched, but given they both needed maximum points from this game to secure progression to the knockout stages, we were […]

Dream on Robbie: hot Frogs will cane our scrum

Renée: crouche, touche, pause, collapsus?
Whatever will they think of next? A French robot scrum machine that replicates how the Australian eight scrummage?
Unfortunately, Renée the Robot would be spending half the time with it’s console stuck in the turf crying out “Danger Benn Robinson.”
I wonder whether the Wallabies should develop one of their […]

The Springboks: World Rugby’s bad boys!

A Burger on the side - a familiar sight.
Two Yellow Cards, and two players cited, within the space of a week leads us to ask the question. Are the Springboks the biggest cheats in World Rugby? Coach Peter de Villiers seemingly believes that his team doesn’t cheat enough, […]

Winter Tours Tipping Comp – Final Week

Congratulations go to Jimbo, winner of the Winter tours tipping comp. Jimbo appeared to take the view that a slow, well timed rise to the summit was the way to do it (shadowing the Wallabies???), moving from 34th after the first round, he hit his straps going to 6th, […]

Drewboy. Quite the tipper.
The comp has opened up a little with 4 games to tip last week. Drewboy had a corker, picking all 4 results and tipping the margin for the Wallabies v England game as well as getting margin points in the Argentina v Scotland game. #1 […]

Now this. Is how you tip
A nice soft start to this short tipping comp, with only two games to worry about. The only way to get yourself into an early lead with this one, was margins. Cheezel did the job with the Wallabies vs Fiji, picking the 46 […]

'No more experimentation Gareth'
There are not many occasions where I’d agree with Stephen Jones, The Times doyen of rugby writers, but this is one of them.
The ELV ’short arm’ sanctions were not adopted by the IRB this season after a vociferous campaign by the northern unions and journo fellow […]

G&GR Wallaby Tries of the Decade #4

Ahhh memories.
I am a bit of a believer in the Recency Factor when it comes to many things, but particularly when it comes to sporting memories. The Recency Factor is basically that you (or is it just I?) tend to overlook events or players that have happened more recently […]
