Last week we had a caption competition for a picture of Robbie Deans chatting to Ben McCalman.
We got puh-lenty of captions and we’ve reviewed the entries and our two winners are:

The autumn internationals - round up
November 28th, 2010 · No Comments
newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article.
Chris Rattue loves to complain but moaning that these autumn tests are meaningless and a waste of time surely shows up his true ineptitude when it comes to his knowledge of rugby. For an All Black supporter, it is always a joy to watch New Zealand play the northern hemisphere teams. The crowd […]

The Wallabies had everything to play for after their energising victory in South Africa a week earlier. Sure, they would be tired but at home, playing against a Carterless New Zealand outfit that had the Tri Nations in the bag, this test was always going […]

Where were we in 98:
A squad full of World Champions.
Looking back to June-ish 1998 and using the IRB Rankings formula, via the Pick and Go web site, we disover that the Wallabies were sitting in 3rd spot on the ‘world rankings’. Above them were the All Blacks (1st) and […]

Last night to prepare these statistics I watched the game for the first time since seeing it live and I have to agree with those that have posted on the site after re-watching the game – the Wallabies weren’t terrible.
They were outplayed on the night by a better team […]

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 […]

Luke Burgess’s passing against Ireland left a lot to be desired. He threw an average pass 47% of the time and a poor pass 22% of the time. The performance of Burgess and Genia so far this season is shown below.

July 5th, 2010 · No Comments

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.

On Friday I went to the Wallabies Captains Run and watched Matt Giteau and Quade Cooper working very hard on their kicking and as I noted in my article on Matt Giteau’s kicking later that day, Giteau was still having troubles whilst Cooper was kicking well.

In bringing you our analysis of the Wallabies each week, we need to watch and re-watch the game to find the most relevant information to highlight and sometimes it can be painful going through that process. However, this week it felt like Groundhog Day – I couldn’t escape the […]
