Lee Coan wrote this article.
They say defence wins world cups, or test matches, or tournaments, or something like that. Anyway – defence is important.

With every loss another nail goes into the Waratahs’ coffin, and there have been a lot of nails this season.
On your bike, Bulls (we hope)

The ACT Brumbies have cemented their place on top of the Aussie conference with a 23-6 win over the Waratahs in Canberra. The win was soured by a cruel season ending broken right ankle to flyhalf Christian Lealiifano that occurred after the final siren that has now dashed his […]
