Sunday afternoon Rugby in Brisbane is always special, but when it’s on a beautiful clear Autumn day it’s nearly perfect.
The chiefs had the early running until Liam Messams pass into the arms of Mike Harris, who scuttled off downfield attracting three defenders before passing to Dom Shipperly for the Try. Harris couldn’t convert the […]

This Sunday is Mothers Day in Queensland and thousands of them will flock to Lang Park to see the Reds take on the top of the ladder Chiefs. Adding to the incentive of having their mothers in the crowd is the massive ego boost they must have after “modelling” […]

An improving Reds side travelled to Christchurch to take on a Crusaders side who look to be on a mission to win another Super Rugby Title. The Reds hadn’t read the script though and from the kick off charged down Ellis’s kick for touch, regained the ball and through […]

Review. 50 Caps And A Try to Ioane In Reds Defeat Of The Blues

Digby Ioane only took 60 seconds to celebrate his 50th game with a try in the Reds defeat of the Blues in Auckland tonight. Ioane was heavily marked by the Blues centre pairing of Nonu and Ranger. And surely he’ll feel Nonu’s tackles tomorrow. The big Blues enforcer didn’t […]

Sharks V. Reds – Injury Crisis? What Injury Crisis?

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 […]

The Wallabies: One Hand Tied Behind Their Backs

We all knew that the semi final against the All Blacks was going to be a massive challenge for the Wallabies. Their performance in the quarter final against the Springboks was heroic and produced a win I’ll remember for a long time but let’s face it they didn’t play […]

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 […]

After an ordinary start to the 2011 international season against Samoa, the Wallabies bounced back with an improved performance against the Springboks in TN1 on the weekend.
There’s no doubt the introduction of some of the players rested for the game against Samoa made a big difference but the match also […]

Who’ll Be Smiling After Saturday Night?

The bookies think it’ll be the team in Red … sorry Grey! I think most people think the Crusaders are the favourites and most Aussies hope it’s the Reds but suspect it might be the Crusaders.
Before the semi-finals I was asked for my predictions – I went with the […]
