No doubt sparked by the deja vu of a splintered scrum and loss to the Poms, questions are starting to be asked about Robbie Deans as coach, probably more than at any other time during his reign.
It’s a complex and emotive issue, so we thought we’d bring a couple […]

The door is that way Mitch
By announcing his departure from coaching the Western Force ‘at the end of the 2011 season’ John Mitchell is effectively a dead man walking.
I wonder where he’ll celebrate New Years’ Eve this year? You can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be at the […]

The Messiah or just a naughty little boy?
The national media have been fawning all over Rod McQueen’s appointment as the new Super 15 Melbourne Rebel’s dual-hatted Head Coach/Director of Coaching like it was The Return of the King.
This soft focus coverage has glossed over a couple of obvious facts […]

Video & Stats: Wallaby scrum vs the world

Lee Coan wrote this article.
As you can see in our 2009 highlights package, we’re pretty frikken proud of our Wallaby scrum. Minus a few dodgy ref calls earlier in the season, they’ve taken apart nigh on all-comers, blooding a brand new tight head prop along the way. But how can we quantify how […]

Wallaby Blind Side Flanker of the Decade

He was Samo player!
The Blind Side Flanker position has been an interesting one for Australia, not only over the last decade, but in the last few decades. Whereas we’ve usually gone for out and out poachers at Open Side; Strong running Number 8s; Ball playing inside centres, and big […]

Wallaby Winger of the Decade
December 5th, 2009 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
From the period 2000-2009, eighteen different men have worn either the Wallaby Number Eleven or Fourteen jerseys in a test match. Interestingly eight of these were also on the fullback list (Julian Huxley and James O’Connor being the only two fullbacks NOT to start a test on the wing).
So, […]

The tip off - Eddie’s next job
March 17th, 2009 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. Eddie Jones has become the Where’s Wally of rugby over the last few years; some might offer the Scarlet Pimpernel, for others he may well be the Quasimodo, all crazy, sitting in a bell tower making heaps of noise getting in trouble with authorities.
Whatever Eddie is, one thing he […]

Wallaby history and Eddie Jones
November 15th, 2008 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. Eddie Jones has made history by talking sense twice in the last seven days. First in the Times, giving his match preview and picking the back row to be an edge for us.
The second, a great article pointed out by Bobas in the Independent, goes through in depth how […]

Today the Springboks showed both their pedigree and the amount of preparation they’ve put in for this world cup. As usual, Scotland put in a great first twenty minutes, chasing anything that moved and chancing their arms with a running game plan. […]
