Do we have to chase it?
Eddie Jones was right! These rules changes are mucking up the game.
Let me digress. In Eddie’s regular diatribes against the ELVs he made the particularly interesting point that making the tackle contest too much of a contest would change the shape of rugby (my […]

Video: Mortlock splits Woodcock

Lee Coan wrote this article. From the Brumbies vs Blues on the weekend. This, together with his overall performance proves that you write Captain Insano off to your peril.
He told reporters afterwards: “I just thought of him as that dick Robert Tuchman, and fucken wham”
I’ve also stuck Morty’s hit on Flutey in for good […]

Mortlock hit on Flutey
November 20th, 2008 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. Here’s a replay of Stirling Mortlock’s crunching tackle on Riki Flutey. With these touch judges he was lucky not to be penalised, but it would have been worth it the lift it gave the team.
Also in this sequence is Cross’ impressive turnover, and an example of one of those […]

Tuqiri’s hit on Flannery video highlight
June 18th, 2008 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. Here’s the footage of the rib-cracking tackle Lote Tuqiri put on Jerry Flannery in the dying seconds of the test last Saturday, June 14th. A hit like that really lifts a team in defence, and it couldn’t have been better timed.
Having been a critic of Steve Austin in the […]

Hurricanes vs Western Force: video highlights & score
May 10th, 2008 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. Hurricanes 21 - Force 10
Despite having nothing really to play for, solid defence from the Force managed to restrict the Canes to 2 tries, which could well prove important from a Waratahs home semi perspective.
In only his second match in Super 14, the 17 year old James O’Connor had […]

Palu bitch-slaps Venter & Co. for a try - video
April 30th, 2008 · No Comments
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 […]

Big Jerry gets owned

Lee Calvert wrote this article. Here’s the clip of Beau Robinson making Jerry Collins his bitch during the weekend’s Waratahs vs Hurricanes game. As it’s often Big Jerry taking prison wives, it’s nice to see a bit of payback. Suffice to say that he didn’t play much more of a role for the rest […]

Jon Jones wrote this article. Call the hairy French bastard what you will; Captain Caveman, Attila, Cartouche, Sea-bass, The Anesthesiologist or The Hobo; you’ve gotta admit that he’s taking this world cup by storm. If it’s not his publicised spat with the coach Laporte (who now simply has to pick the bearded one to […]
