Wallabies should never be satisfied with second place
7 Sep 2012Australian rugby fans are going through one hell of an identity crisis at the moment. Stung by twin defeats to the All Blacks in Sydney and Auckland, Wallabies’ supporters are suddenly racked with as much self-doubt as the Wallabies themselves.

Dumb Wallabies must learn to listen
27 Aug 2012Another Bledisloe, another embarrassment for the Wallabies. Their scoreless defeat to the All Blacks failed to meet even the most pessimistic Australian expectations.

Kallis epitomises value of genuine all-rounder
24 Jul 2012How good is Jacques Kallis? The ageless South African all-rounder always seems to be in the background when the accolades are handed out. That was the case again yesterday as Hashim Amla thrust himself into the spotlight against England. Amla’s unbeaten 311 was the highest individual score ever compiled by a South African, and the [...]
