newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article. Let’s be honest: the New Zealand Super teams are made up entities. They were constructed out of thin air, mashed together from provincial catchment areas in 1996, to allow true professional rugby to run free across the land. In doing SANZAR created a top tier of domestic rugby where the […]

newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article.
That was edge of the seat stuff for a bit last night - not only did the Pumas stop us scoring, then score themselves … but they had the lead on us and created some very nervous moments for All Black fans last night. Were we going to be knocked […]

Putting aside the Daniel Carter heartbreak, let’s not forget the All Blacks have been formidable for 100 years (and Dan has only been around for about eight of those). This is a team sport.
In saying that, I still think our major final will be the semi. Whether it is […]

I watched this on a small computer screen at work while trying to pretend to do some work (hopelessly executed) so I have probably missed a lot of things.
What I didn’t miss however is Nonu’s Rolls Royce form right now. The guy is on fire! Backed up by […]

It was obvious to anyone watching the first game of the Tri Nations last weekend that the All Blacks went in with a deliberate policy of keeping the ball in play to minimise the impact of the Springbok lineout and tire the big South African forwards.
Whilst the number of times […]

noreply@blogger.com (Matt @ Green and Gold Rugby) wrote this article. Wales 9 - All Blacks 29 Full marks to Wales for doing the best stare down of the Haka (especially this new choreographed production) I’ve seen. They refused to move and made the ABs turn first. Nice.
This aggression carried on into the first half […]

Teams - Australia vs New Zealand Hong Kong Bledisloe
October 28th, 2008 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. We haven’t got the full Wallabies team yet - it’s announced on Thursday - but the leaks are starting to trickle out and the All Blacks have laid down their misere, with an interesting twist.
First off we can all breathe a sigh of relief that Luke Burgess is set […]

Lee Coan wrote this article. Right, Australia didn’t lose this match and the Tri-Nations because of this - the final ruck. We lost it because we went to sleep for 15 minutes and let in three soft tries.
And this ruck isn’t even remarkable because of the the number of infringements the All Blacks managed […]

While channel surfing in a hospital room this afternoon post knee op (thanks for all the messages of support…), I came across the replay of the All Blacks slaughtering Samoa 101-14 from earlier today. Knowing what the score was already, I wasn’t too thrilled at the prospect, but what […]

The Wallabies looked on from the stands in Capetown as these two sides belted lumps out of each other today. Unfortunately for the Saffas this seemed to be their only gameplan.
The ABs got on the board early through a McCaw chip behind the tryline for […]
