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 […]

Not this time Australia. Four more years, boys.
Ferdy’s pick: quarter finalists.

Whoah, that was succinct on the Boss’ part! Good team, not a great team … yet. The Reds’ success seemed to give Dingo Deans a blueprint for the Tri Nations, but that won’t work in the World […]

It was a bit like Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome at the end of the 80 minutes - 30 blokes came on to the field but only about 23 of them walked off it under their own steam.
If ever there was to be a better demo of Deans’ lack of depth, […]

Wow! Have there been some amazing games at this RWC or what? A tryless test, yet every bit as thrilling as an 83-7 point exhibition match. By upsetting Australia, Ireland have put this tournament on the map and have brought some much needed respect from the south for northern […]

I have to confess to knowing very little about the Samoan Team playing Australia on Sunday. I decided to do a little digging in to the players background and what I found was a lot more talent and perhaps a higher fitness level than I expected. I have set […]

I confess to knowing very little about the Samoan team playing the Wallabies on Sunday. We don’t see or hear much of Samoan players (or those from the other Pacific Islands nations) between World Cup years, other than occasional mentions of those earning a living in the northern hemisphere […]

Dwyer’s View: Aussie teams off pace, but squad firming

Lee Coan wrote this article.
All five Aussie franchises played in the Super Rugby tournament on the weekend and only one of the five had a win – and that against another Aussie team! Not a very reassuring thought, perhaps, but there were still plenty of positives to be taken.
For a start, Berrick […]

Some of the positives were the performance at the breakdown where the […]

Round two, ding ding
All the talk in the lead up to this test was about whether the Wallabies front row have learnt anything and parity, or better, would be achieved or would we be in for more of the same? Well, the stage was set, 5 minutes in […]
