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

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 […]

Super Rugby Round Two Review

Round Two of Super Rugby, 2011 style, saw two more local derbies for the Aussie teams. The first was an emotional last minute win by the Rebels over the Brumbies, whilst the second was a clinical take down of the Reds by the increasingly impressive Waratahs. So to the […]

Wallaby Player Ratings v. France (Paris)

For the second year in a row the Wallabies have ended their season with an absolute ball-tearer. Last year it was in Cardiff when the George Smith–David Pocock double act blew the Welsh out of the water. This year it was in the city of love, and these Wallabies […]

Wallaby Player Ratings v England (Twickers)

I wish I was rating the Pommies. I’d find it a hell of a lot easier. A couple of 9s on the wing, another at scrumhalf and a few in the pack. Throw in some 8’s in the midfield and at the back, as well as on the side […]

Robbie Deans has steered clear of any dramatic changes to his Wallaby side to take on the All Blacks in yet another Bledisloe dead rubber this weekend. There are two solitary changes to the team that were run down by the All Blacks in their last encounter. Drew Mitchell, who missed […]

What a game! Absolute dominance by the Wallabies in the majority of the first half and then it all turned around with the Springboks taking control for most of the second half until the Wallabies found a way to come back.
Whilst I’ve seen comments that both sides played […]

The politics of rugby

Joe Hockey, a real tight-head
Over the last month I have watched both the Wallabies and our politicians with dismay. It seems that certain characteristics and frailties that some of our rugby players have, our politicians also share – and vice versa.
It occurred to me one night the career trajectories […]

Last night to prepare these statistics I watched the game for the first time since seeing it live and I have to agree with those that have posted on the site after re-watching the game – the Wallabies weren’t terrible.
They were outplayed on the night by a better team […]

Wallaby Team Named v All Blacks

The big talking point in the Wallaby team named to play the All Blacks this weekend is the move by Matt Giteau back to five eighth.
Robbie Deans decided to use him as the playmaker instead of leaving him at inside centre. Giteau replaces the suspended Quade Cooper.
As expected, Berrick […]

Benn Robinson: thank god you're here
Robbie Deans has named his first Tri-Nations test team for 2010 and it’s much as expected containing only the odd positional surprise.
There is one test debutant, Rob Simmons from Queensland, who features off the bench.
Drew Mitchell has regained his wing position due to injuries to Peter Hynes and Digby […]
