France vs Wallabies; score, pixelated review & fuzzy stats

November 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article. France 13 - Australia (and David Skrela) 18
It was ugly as hell (and that might have been because it seemed like I was watching it underwater through a snow blizzard on an intermittent webstream) but stuff it, it was a win.
I get the feeling there will be plenty to […]

England vs Wallabies Twickenham Score, Review, Photos

Lee Coan wrote this article. England 14 - Australia 28
There is only one test match I’ve been to that felt better than that, and it was the 1991 World Cup final. What a game. What a vindication.
In world sport there can’t have been many who have carried the stigma that Al Baxter and the […]

I haven’t seen the game as yet as no-one showed it up here, but by all accounts it was a pretty piss poor effort. Perhaps a few who saw it could give an opinion?

Score & Review: Australia vs New Zealand Hong Kong

November 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article. All Blacks 19 - Wallabies 14
Someone needs to remind the Wallabies that there are two halves in a match of rugby. Yet again they came out playing the better attacking rugby, scoring two tries to nil in the first 40, to then look and play like walking zombies for […]

Wallabies vs All Blacks Tri-Nations final in Brisbane Score & Commentary

September 13th, 2008 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article. Wallabies 24 - All Blacks 28.
Fahhk. I’m going to need some time to write anything semi-objective about this game, as today Australia managed to excite and infuriate in almost equal measure in a loss that handed the Tri Nations to New Zealand for the umpteenth friggen time.
So I’ll try […]

South Africa versus New Zealand Tri-Nations Score & Review

Lee Coan wrote this article. Springboks 0 All Blacks 19
The Wallabies looked on from the stands in Capetown as these two sides belted lumps out of each other today. Unfortunately for the Saffas this seemed to be their only gameplan.
The ABs got on the board early through a McCaw chip behind the tryline for […]

Lee Coan wrote this article. All Blacks 39 - Wallabies 10
Australia’s Tri-Nation hopes and confidence that had been building under Aussie Robbie took a sizeable dent on Saturday night in Auckland, with the Wallabies being on the receiving end of almost exactly what they dished out to the All Blacks just seven days […]

YOU FCKING BEAUTY!!
I’m too stoked to write a proper review right now, but what an amazing game and fantastic performance by the Wallabies. I’m struggling to think of a player who didn’t have a hand in this victory.
For the first time that I can […]

Wallabies vs Springboks: Tri-Nations first test score & review

July 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article. Australia 16 - South Africa 9
I’m tempted to say for the review, read the preview. The core of this story was as predicted - a tough battle that was just one too far for the Springboks. But it was detail around margins that was most interesting from a Wallaby […]

Score & random thoughts from the All Black vs Springbok 2nd test

Ali Williams is as soft as his name
“Keeping the scoreboard ticking over” is a novelty for the Wallabies, the day job for Carter.
A try off the back of a 5 metre scrum should be indefensible under the ELVs
Ricky Januarie must be a […]

Before the tournament started a few weeks back I got all excited about the prospects of what this team might do with so much S14 representation, for us to be knocked out in the pool stages last weekend by the bloody Poms! Above are […]
