The Wallabies were comprehensively outplayed by the All Blacks last weekend, so is there any joy in any of the statistics for Wallaby fans? Not really.
The Wallabies won fourteen of their fifteen lineouts lost for a 93% success rate. In defence the All Blacks also lost one lineout from […]

Analysis: Wallabies Kicking Game

Lee Coan wrote this article.
I’m sure that like most of you I sat watching Sunday’s victory by the Wallabies against the Springboks in amazement that any team could win such a game with such little possession and field position. Okay, that’s not entirely correct – I was pacing the floor and jumping around […]

James O’Connor: Wallaby Number 10?
March 15th, 2011 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
I’ve been really impressed with James O’Connor playing number 10 for the Force so far this season.
I have no doubt that he’ll be in the starting team for the Wallabies come World Cup time – the only question for me is in which position. His goal kicking seems to […]

I’ve got some bad news and some good news for you.
The bad news is that having completed a highlights video of the Wallabies backline in 2010 it comes in at 16 minutes, which I know is a lot longer than most people are prepared to watch on the Internet. […]

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 […]

Hallelujah and not just for the win but the Wallabies back line ran a first phase move during the game for only the second time in 2010!
Not only that, there were several general play moves involving forwards and backs that looked like they’d been practiced at training. Not […]

There were some positive signs from the Wallabies last weekend, unfortunately offset by some negatives. I’d prefer to be writing a positive piece focusing on the promising signs for the Wallabies but the continued inconsistency and failure to execute the basics well can’t be ignored – no wonder […]

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 […]

Video: Wallaby Backline Asking Questions?

In the first four games of the season the Wallabies have used a relatively young back line with some new combinations. There’s been plenty of discussion elsewhere about how the individual players have been performing and what the makeup of the back line should be.
What I want to focus […]

Wallabies named. Deans pleads insanity

They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. If that’s the case then Robbie should be looking over his shoulder for the men in white coats. In the end, the Aussie selectors have been left […]
