Lee Coan wrote this article.
Watching the Rebels scrum performance against the Blues two weeks ago was painful.

Analysis: Wallabies Lineout Woes

October 14th, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
Lineouts are a bit like a magic trick or better still, a magic show.  A magic trick doesn’t actually work because of what the magician does at the crucial moment, it relies on a much wider deception to get you watching one thing (or a number of things) so […]

Did they play well enough to have the All Blacks worried about their next encounter with the Wallabies? No!

What’s going on at the breakdown?
It’s been about a year now since Scarfman, our colleague here at Green & Gold Rugby, produced his All Blacks at the Breakdown video exposing some of the tricks the All Blacks got away with in the first match of the 2010 Tri Nations […]

I Love a Bit of Controversy…

… particularly when it involves Richie McCaw.
Sunday’s game between the Reds and Crusaders didn’t disappoint with a number of refereeing decisions being called into question. There were even some who claimed the referee cost the Crusaders the game by wrongly awarding that last penalty against McCaw.
Marc Hinton had this […]

The Importance of Quick Ball From the Ruck

March 30th, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
Teams need quick ball from the breakdown to so they can attack more freely by limiting the time the defence has to set up their defensive structures.
In 2010 the revised interpretation of the laws saw the attacking team favoured at the ruck.  That led to much quicker ball and allowed […]

James O’Connor: Wallaby Number 10?

March 15th, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
I’ve been really impressed with James O’Connor playing number 10 for the Force so far this season.
I have no doubt that he’ll be in the starting team for the Wallabies come World Cup time – the only question for me is in which position.  His goal kicking seems to […]
