The Reds are counting the cost and crossing their fingers after a brutal encounter with the sharks in South Africa. In a game marred by injury to both sides the Reds seemed to suffer the most with both flyhalf options injured before the fifty minute mark. Despite the rain […]

Sharks V. Reds – Review
March 17th, 2012 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
The Sharks lost JP Pieterson in the warm up. A late change to any team is disruptive but the sharks seem to handle it with no problems. The expected fine weather has not eventuated and it looks like another wet game for the Reds.
The first try comes to the […]

Saracen, Crusaders and ‘that’ match at Twickenham

newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article. Firstly, may I say, I LOVE England! I’m a kiwi living here on round two (I couldn’t stay away). I came back for the people, the banter, the English charm, the pubs, the socialness, the parks, the gigs and about a billion other things. But mostly, I came back for […]

newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article.
It was a balmy day at Twickenham yesterday, the first day of daylight saving, and the hint of spring making you feel good to be alive. Although the crowd did not exceed expectations (only 35,000 turned up in the end), the lower tier of the stadium was still packed and […]

Waratahs vs Sharks Super 14 Semi Final Video Highlights
May 25th, 2008 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. Watching it again, there were a couple of bits that stand out:
How well the Tahs finished tries 2 and 3. Sure, they were great positions, but how often do you see guys take it on too far or passes miss the man in those situations? SNK’s golded ball and […]

Lee Coan wrote this article. Waratahs 28 - Shorks 13
Someone took the Waratahs of 2008, condensed them all down, wrung out the pure essence, poured it into a bottle, and then served it up to the Sharks at the SFS last night. ‘Eau de Tah ‘08’ was just too powerful for the men from […]

Palu bitch-slaps Venter & Co. for a try - video

Lee Coan wrote this article. I mentioned that it made me chuckle at the time, but here’s big Cliffy’s first try from last weekend which followed an awesome tackle on one of the harder nuts of Saffa rugby - AJ Venter. No prize for guessing the two words that went through Ndungane’s mind as […]

This was the Waratahs 5th straight win in the 2008 Super 14, and their second half four try dicking of the Sharks has rightfully slung them to second in the table. The blueprint for the win was the same as last week - muscle up […]

Rounding out the upsets from last weekend was this great effort from the Brumbies. As you’ll see, there wasn’t too much backline flare on display, the whole team playing as one big back row, patient and accurate in both attack and defense - strangling the […]

Thanks to Sky not giving a shit, I’ve been able to see sweet f.uck all of this game. But as it happens, a good pommy mate of mine - Cap’n Dan - is a BA pilot down route in Cape Town.
Bored, and hankering to bet […]
