Sunset fast approaching for Queensland Reds
4 Apr 2013I loved watching the rise and rise of the Reds from their disaster and failures to being the strongest side in Australia. The team was built on an outstanding bunch of youngsters who were picked by Phil Mooney in his efforts to repair the burning wreck Eddie Jones left behind him. Mooney must be applauded [...]
Can the Wallabies beat the Lions in 2013?
31 Dec 2012With the British and Irish Lions visiting Australia in 2013, what do you think the Wallabies’ chances are of coming away with a win (or four)?

It then dawned on me that he must have felt that by following this brain dead strategy he was kicking his Wallaby [...]
Is Queensland's Red the New South blue?
22 Apr 2012I was expecting great things from the Reds last season and they didn’t disappoint. They were like an elastic band that has been pulled back and let go. I said to my partner at the end of it all, “I hope they keep attacking like that next season.” Well, we all know that answer, don’t [...]
