Score & Review: Australia vs New Zealand Hong Kong

November 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article. All Blacks 19 - Wallabies 14
Someone needs to remind the Wallabies that there are two halves in a match of rugby. Yet again they came out playing the better attacking rugby, scoring two tries to nil in the first 40, to then look and play like walking zombies for […]

Crusaders vs Waratahs Super 14 2008 Final review & video highlights

May 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article. Princes of darkness 20 - Tahs 12
During the week Mark Hammett commented that this was going to be a test match in terms of intensity, and he was spot on. These two teams went hammer and tongs, both refusing to be intimidated by what was on the line, and […]

Bulls vs Waratahs review & score

May 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article. Bulls 16 - Waratahs 13
The summary of this game is pretty easy. It pissed down rain, the Waratahs got kicked around the park by the Bulls 10 Hougaard, and on top of that the Tahs lineout went to shit. Not a recipe for an entertaining match, and not a […]

Six-nations scores and round up - week two

February 9th, 2008 · No Comments

Lee Calvert wrote this article. France 26 vs Ireland 21
This one turned out to be a cracker. Continuing their form from last week, the French back 3 are looking the most dangerous in Europe and perhaps further afield. The whole team is re-discovering that French quality of backs running from deep, creating space […]

Barbarians vs South Africa: result, score, review

World Chump B team 5
So many times an all star Barbarian team has disappointed through poor defence and lateral attack, but not today. Almost to a man the Barbars played to their hearts out and showed this Springbok team to be out of ideas. The first half […]

Australia vs England quarter final: result & score

England 12
As you can imagine, I’m going to sleep on this one before writing a full review, but if you’re stuck in North America, here’s the short version.
a) The England scrum monstered the Australian scrum. You can’t play rugby union without a scrum, no matter how much you […]

Wales vs Fiji score and review

Pip Smith wrote this article. Fiji 38

There’s been a lot of wanging on about this being the best game of the world cup so far. I guess for a sevens style of free-flowing fluctuating game yes. But what this game really nailed once and for all is how naive Wales has become, trying […]

Jon Jones wrote this article. Woeful Wallabies 37
Plucky Canucks 6
Here’s the short version; a bunch of Wallabies desperate to score a try themselves, managed to turn a walk in the park into a drawn out horror show. On the upside - these guys are mostly reserves. The downside - we’ll no doubt need a […]

Tonga 20
For the first 30 minutes of this test it looked like Tonga’s fairy tale might go all the way, but in the end England just had too much nous. The forwards in white were able to strangle the game when needed forcing the […]

Jon Jones wrote this article. Islanders do themselves proud
Yesterday Tonga and Samoa brought some good old fashioned passion and excitement to the Rugby World Cup, while Argentina continued to justify their new world ranking. Here are the scores and a few thoughts on the games.
South Africa 30

Tonga came within a gnat’s chuff […]

France 25
Ireland 3
Tonight Ireland’s chances of progressing any further in this Rugby World Cup became very slim indeed. They now need to score four tries against Argentina next week, and make sure that Los Pumas fail to secure a bonus point themselves. On the […]

Matt @ Green and Gold Rugby wrote this article. Wales 20 - Australia 32
Today the Wallabies showed far too much class for Wales, but at the same time made a few too many errors. This should really have been a 50 pointer. This post comes to you from my phone on the way back […]

Arse-clowns (England) - 0
This was a rugby version of a public butt-rape. Today, England’s status as a second tier rugby nation was well and truly cemented as they were smashed in every facet of the game and slumped to their biggest ever Rugby […]

As the scoreline suggests, this was your classic World Cup mismatch of the type that Campo has been campaigning against of late. That aside, the Wallabies produced a composed performance, for the most part devoid of the ‘rustiness’ excuse that usually dogs them […]
