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 […]

Oh come on. Do I have to? REALLY? Sharpie wasn’t the only one swearing in frustration after that round. The Waratahs can count themselves lucky that they were playing the bottom ranked team, otherwise they could have joined the ranks of the Force and Brumbies in a winless round.
As it […]

Alfi Mafi congratulates Adam Ashley-Cooper on another Brumby FC goal!
I have heard the Brumbies of 2010 described as the Chelsea Football Club of Australian Rugby. Now, I don’t follow European football, but can hazard a guess that Chelsea is renowned for purchasing their highly successful team? For creating a winning […]
