We haven’t seen much of the Italians since the 2010 End Of Year Tour. No doubt the...

Quade Cooper’s stats in defence against Italy were much better than they’ve been recently — 100 per cent of tackles made and even a dominant tackle. While the result was better, what changed? Was it the influence of Phil Blake? Did Quade just have a better approach to his defence? Or wasn’t he required...

The defence numbers for the Wallabies in their game against Italy look impressive: 94 per cent of tackles...

Congratulations go to Jimbo, winner of the Winter tours tipping comp. Jimbo appeared to take the view that a slow, well timed rise to the summit was the way to do it (shadowing the Wallabies???), moving from 34th after the first round, he hit his straps going to 6th, then 3rd before...

The comp has opened up a little with 4 games to tip last week. Drewboy had a corker, picking all 4 results and tipping the margin for the Wallabies v England game as well as getting margin points in the Argentina v Scotland game. #1 Tah relinquished the lead by only dropping...

Three weeks into the November tours and Southern Hemisphere strength is proving all too strong for the...

Nice effort from Mr Mullet, although calls for a starting spot at 10 are a little premature. Check out Mortlock’s hit on the centre defender. Hilarious how he then feels...

Italy 20 – Australia 30. I haven’t seen the game as yet as no-one showed it up...

Below is the Australia team to play Italy in Padova this weekend. Why we’re announcing teams later than any other team in the world, I’m not sure, because this squad of 22 has been leaked accurately over the past 3 days. On the positive side, it’ll be fascinating to see Barnes at...
