    Lions Tour 2025

    timed out twice trying to get 3 x tickets to the Brisbane game with no luck. the only available option was for a single ticket for $478. Hopefully they do the last minute standing tickets like they did last time.

    Round 2: Reds v Canes. Sunday.

    Maybe not for casual fans of both is my point.

    Round 2: Reds v Canes. Sunday.

    Pretty unfortunate scheduling for the reds with the Broncos game in vegas kicking off at the same time

    Wallabies 2023

    Does anyone have any info on him that isn't provided in the article? It sounds like a pretty great signing to me.

    Super Rugby Pre-Season Trial: Waratahs v Reds

    My slight issue with Daugunu is it seems to me like he cuts inside to take on a defender instead of taking the space thats in front of him too often. I thought he was pretty busy though.

    Wallabies 2023

    I would still want a last ditch attempt to bring him home. He said in the past he only left to try NFL because he had no offers here, and his Family is still here. It does seem like he's made his mind up though

    Wallabies 2023

    One of our teams could do a lot worse than trying to sign Emmanuel Meafou. Australian born and raised, and in some form for Toulouse. Im sure the French will be looking to cap him sooner rather than later.

    Reds 2023

    I'm Struggling to place where multiple players are in the pecking order. Tualima, Faifua, Tauakipulu all cover the same positions (Maybe Tauakipulu is more a 6/8 instead of of Lock/6) ,but I haven't seen enough of them to know how they compare and how they are developing. Faifua seems to be the...

    Wallabies 2023

    At this point i think if we signed the greatest coach in the world we would still be average. I no longer believe the coach is the issue. Deans, Mckenzie, Cheik and Rennie are likely all elite, world-class head coaches who have all been silly enough to sign on to the poisoned chalice that is...

    Reds 2023

    Are you able to elaborate? I'm definitely interested to know why locks seem to go to another level in europe in particular. Is there something wrong with how we coach or use 2nd rowers?

    Reds 2023

    Does anyone know the circumstances around Lukhans exit? What I mean by that is was it amicable/is he on good terms with the organisation? His form for Northampton has been pretty remarkable and I would hate to think he wont come back. I am baffled by how regularly our locks go overseas and...

    2022 Bledisloe Cup. Wallabies vs All Blacks

    I would be very interested to see Arnolds stats in the top14 in comparison to his peers. He's been quite anonymous and our lineouts been quite shite.

    TRC 2022: All Blacks v Argentina

    What has happened to Codie Taylor? I feel like only 3 or 4 years ago he was one of the best hookers around. I kept thinking his form would return but it has been a while since he has performed at test level.

    Western Force v Waratahs: Saturday 16th April

    If twiggy focused on bringing some of that talent home it would make a huge difference. Get Hoskins or Ainsley back, or both. Matt Philip is close to the best lock in Aus, Hardwick is a very good player. Luke Morahan, Billy Meakes, Curtis Rona, Isi Naisarani, are all still good footy players...
