Cam Treloar: Where we’ve got it right…

Last time I wrote for Green and Gold Rugby I gave my thoughts on parts of the game where Europe had it over the local version. There are however, on a professional level a multitude of areas where Professional Rugby in Australia is streets ahead of our European counterparts. […]

The very culture of how we support our teams, be it the Wallabies or a super 15 side, is sadly defined by one man… the guy in the tight black t-shirt with the clip board running the door at Cargo bar.

England pose a clear and present danger

In the past 20 years England have played the Wallabies seven times in Australia and won only twice, both in 2003 and of course one of those achieved rugby supremacy at the RWC.
History is against our kith and kin from ‘Ye Olde Dart’ this Saturday in Perthampton-on-Sea; however, […]

Leinster legend and Wallaby captain
Luke McAlister, Aaron Mauger, Chris Latham, Carlos Spencer, Lote Tuqiri, Victor Matfield, Mark Gasnier, Rocky Elsom and Dan Carter.
What do these players all have in common? They are players who chased the more lucrative pastures of the northern hemisphere but have now returned home, […]

'No more experimentation Gareth'
There are not many occasions where I’d agree with Stephen Jones, The Times doyen of rugby writers, but this is one of them.
The ELV ’short arm’ sanctions were not adopted by the IRB this season after a vociferous campaign by the northern unions and journo fellow […]

G&GR Wallaby Tries of the Decade #4

Ahhh memories.
I am a bit of a believer in the Recency Factor when it comes to many things, but particularly when it comes to sporting memories. The Recency Factor is basically that you (or is it just I?) tend to overlook events or players that have happened more recently […]

Wallaby Blind Side Flanker of the Decade

He was Samo player!
The Blind Side Flanker position has been an interesting one for Australia, not only over the last decade, but in the last few decades. Whereas we’ve usually gone for out and out poachers at Open Side; Strong running Number 8s; Ball playing inside centres, and big […]

Wallaby Open Side Flanker of the Decade

Pocock - the future or the now?
Wow. Only five players have worn the Number 7 Wallaby jersey in the last 123 tests. That’s quite a record. It is the same sort of record as scrum half and in both scenarios the position is dominated by a test centurion.
The list […]

After Lote Tuqiri, should rugby be interested in Karmichael Hunt?
July 1st, 2009 · No Comments
Lee Coan wrote this article. Lost in the noise of Lote getting punted from the ARU, was the news this morning that Brisbane Bronco’s wonder boy, Karmichael Hunt is looking to move to rugby. In a delicious irony, as one former Bronco leaves rugby, a current Bronco is looking to join it.
