Darcy Swain is outstanding on debut at the second row where he kept a robust French attack quiet, especially in the dying seconds that helped the Wallabies kick out for the win. He already has the Brumbies mentality applied last night that was taught from Super Rugby, which it’s crucial to step up & handle…
13th of July 2021 By Daniel Cullinane Twitter: @dcullinane02 After a close win for Australia in the first test, both teams had much to play for in this second encounter in Melbourne. For Australia, a win would wrap up the series. And for France, victory was essential to keep the series alive. France would again…
Louis Carbonel is exceptional at fly-half for France last night, having became involved in adding the points they need. He used his best strengths well with so much physicality and creative vision that limited these chances from the Wallabies going forward, before he brought his men in which ultimately controlled the game with patience. Then…
What a close matchup between the Wallabies & France in Game 1 of 3 at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane. The French may have clinched the 1st half alone 7-15, with two superb tries coming from Gabin Villière on the left wing. He demonstrated so much pace off their early patience upfront, especially when he was blessed…
Great move by the NSW Waratahs to have someone named Darren Coleman who knows the system in NSW very well! Especially when he developed a great reputation in club rugby, which is the first grade Shute Shield level. Having guided Gordon to a championship last season. He will finish coaching the LA Giltinis soon in…
Hoskins Sotutu has wowed his Blues fans all night at Number 8. Where he was part of building a great defensive shape. As the Highlanders began to suffer with the poor discipline despite leading early. The reading was there to help convert the focus from defense to attack. Before he made them stabilise with the…
Such a competitive first 40 from both teams in the Blues & Highlanders. Blues were very patient when it comes to the attack. A number of winning penalties provided those opportunities needed to get ahead. Before Mark Talea managed to touch down the big score first. Thanks to a fantastic cross kick from Otere Black….
It may be difficult for me to keep up with a few sporting events at the same time in a busy weekend which is so huge to cover so had to rest up at times with managing my body. But I will put in a summary of what we have seen so far from Week…
It was a low scoring affair in Canberra between Brumbies v Canes. The home team were able to get away first thanks to Ryan Longeran. While Canes were held back due to ill-discipline they too have leveled it up. With courtesy of Dane Coles before they won the penalty just before HT. As Jordie Barrett…
Bayley Kuenzle has been great last night for the Brumbies. It may not be the usual craft he occupies at fly-half but started in the midfield. Where he & Len Ikitau were patient going forward based on the Canes early errors. That is how they were able to get away with the headstart in the…
