Review: Hurricanes v. Reds. A Game too far

In my preview I suggested that the result of this game would come down to who wanted it more. It now looks like both teams wanted it pretty badly. The Hurricanes reminded everyone that they are a New Zealand Rugby power house and the Reds were in it until […]

For those that didn’t quite get the joke of this and then this, sorry. There was no mystery Reds signing. It was just me, your intrepid ‘reporter’, getting the chance to train with the Queensland Reds. Some time ago Coach Ewen McKenzie invited me, as proxy for Matt Gagger, […]

Twitter? Are you serious G&GR? It’s enough to have that bloody scrolling thing down the side of your front page, but now you’re doing stories about it?
Yes, yes we are.
With the Super Rugby season about to kick off, I thought it timely to do a recap of who’s doing […]

G&GR Wallaby Player of the Year: Domestic Test Series

Lee Coan wrote this article.
As we say adieu to the Wallaby season following our massive win over France, we can start to look back at the year and reflect. Looking at our win percentage alone, we’re getting better. In 2009 we could only manage six wins from our fourteen tests. This year we […]

Robbie Deans has steered clear of any dramatic changes to his Wallaby side to take on the All Blacks in yet another Bledisloe dead rubber this weekend. There are two solitary changes to the team that were run down by the All Blacks in their last encounter. Drew Mitchell, who missed […]

With the Tri-Nations over, and the domestic competitions finished, Australian Rugby is left with a notable gap in the market. A fact obvious by the complete lack of content in the papers at the moment. Hell, even we here at Green and Gold Rugby have slowed down a little. […]

In one of those numerical type quirks that can excite some people (not me it must be noted), in the ten tests played by the Wallabies in 2010, coach Robbie Deans has used ten rookies. This means that a little under a third of the players used by […]

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 […]

They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. If that’s the case then Robbie should be looking over his shoulder for the men in white coats. In the end, the Aussie selectors have been left […]
