October 18th, 2011 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.

We haven’t seen much of the Italians since the 2010 End Of Year Tour.
No doubt the Wallabies have done their homework but I decided to have a look at the Italian’s performance against Scotland two weeks ago. Watch the video as part of your preparation for the Wallabies first […]

Scrum Collapses and Re-sets
September 4th, 2011 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
Whilst in any discussion involving rugby there is usually some talk of the strengths or weaknesses of certain teams’ scrum any such discussion inevitably gets back to the issue of scrum collapses and the need to repeatedly re-set scrums.
No matter which hemisphere someone hails from, no matter which team they […]

Who’ll Be In The 2011 RWC Final?
August 31st, 2011 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
Since September 2010 I’ve been telling you that I think the final will be between the Wallabies and All Blacks.
Yes, I’ve raised issues with the way the Wallabies played in 2010 and so far in 2011 but my opinion hasn’t changed.
What do you think? Would you like to check […]

Dwyer’s View: Aussie teams off pace, but squad firming
May 1st, 2011 · No Comments

All five Aussie franchises played in the Super Rugby tournament on the weekend and only one of the five had a win – and that against another Aussie team! Not a very reassuring thought, perhaps, but there were still plenty of positives to be taken.

Awful Aussies: Wallaby Player Ratings

Lee Coan wrote this article.
In 1972, the Wallabies toured New Zealand and lost the three test series by an aggregate of 23 points each game (6-29, 17-30 and 3-38).
So poor was the Wallaby team regarded that they were referred to as ‘the Awful Aussies’. Fast forward to last night and to Christchurch next […]
