It was a tough year for the Brumbies. Their four wins was the least they’ve had in a single tournament since the Super 12 (which was 11 games) all the way back in 1998. There was the turmoil of a sacked coach, a new coach and then another new […]

In their last two games the Reds have taken on the top two Kiwi teams and come away with two wins and played one of those games in front of an Australian Super Rugby record crowd. Surely the highlight of any Super Rugby teams season. It certainly took a […]

Tony - no holds barred
Listen to Tony Rea’s raw and honest assessment of what’s behind the Brumbies’ failure as a team, in the wake of their 20-29 loss against the Lions in front of a 12-year record low home crowd in Canberra tonight.
He makes some fascinating comments which only […]

Dwyer’s View: Aussie teams off pace, but squad firming
May 1st, 2011 · No Comments
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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

What Does Pressure Do To A Goalkicker?

As you’ve all probably seen, Matt Giteau has been replaced as first choice goalkicker for the Wallabies by James O’Connor. Giteau commented that he’s working on a new technique and didn’t think it was right that he should be experimenting during test matches.
Recently I wrote an article that revealed […]

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 […]

Wallabies Goal Kicking

The last twelve months have seen plenty of discussion regarding Matt Giteau’s goal kicking for the Wallabies so I thought I’d take a look at the numbers to see what they tell us.
There’s no doubt that the Wallabies wouldn’t have lost the games against Scotland on the 2009 EOYT, […]

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 […]
