Last week I analysed the Rebels’ scrum, including a review of the correct techniques for props when scrummaging – click here if you missed it.
This week I’m going to look at the importance of the middle row when scrummaging.

Sharks V. Reds – Injury Crisis? What Injury Crisis?
March 18th, 2012 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
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 […]

Lee Coan wrote this article.
The Wallabies were comprehensively outplayed by the All Blacks last weekend, so is there any joy in any of the statistics for Wallaby fans? Not really.
The Wallabies won fourteen of their fifteen lineouts lost for a 93% success rate. In defence the All Blacks also lost one lineout from […]

Analysis: Wallabies Lineout Woes
October 14th, 2011 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
Lineouts are a bit like a magic trick or better still, a magic show. A magic trick doesn’t actually work because of what the magician does at the crucial moment, it relies on a much wider deception to get you watching one thing (or a number of things) so […]

Analysis: Wallabies Kicking Game

Lee Coan wrote this article.
I’m sure that like most of you I sat watching Sunday’s victory by the Wallabies against the Springboks in amazement that any team could win such a game with such little possession and field position. Okay, that’s not entirely correct – I was pacing the floor and jumping around […]

Wallabies v. Boks Player Ratings

Lee Coan wrote this article.
I always enjoy doing the ratings after a Wallaby win, rewatching the game is so much easier. This one was a real toughie to rate though.
It was a titanic performance in many areas, but I couldn’t go bananas with the scores as we came so close to losing. Pat […]

Dwyer’s View: Phil Blake, Take a Bow
October 10th, 2011 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article.
How did we win this match? Virtually no ball, no field position, dusted in the lineout, creaky at the scrum, kicking out of hand average at best. Our defence was fantastic, that’s how! So Phil Blake, as our defence coach, you can take a well-earned bow. Actually, you can […]

Wallaby Defence Immense in The Great Escape

How on earth did we win that? Whoever said that you need possession and territory to win games wasn’t at today’s Wallabies v. Springboks Quarter Final.
How can you win a game by playing only 25% of the match in the opposition’s territory? In the greatest escape since….The Great Escape….the […]

The All Blacks main threat. This time last year without the likes of Brussouw and Du Preez they were pretty wretched. However, they’re once again nearly at full strength, and right in time for World Cup finals time too. Can they play attacking rugby? Not really. But the […]
