Although the ACT Brumbies were formed in 1996, the team was often labelled as a side full of ‘rejects’ that would perform poorly in Super Rugby competition. The Brumbies however are now the most successful Australian side in Super rugby history, having reached five Grand finals with two titles under their belts. However, since the start of the Super Rugby in the 15 team format, the Brumbies have failed to make the finals, and finished second last in the Australian conference in 2011.

Brumbies 2012: New coach, new players, new attitude
by pjbreck - January 28th 2012 @ 1:39am
So here we are on the precipice ready to dive into Super Rugby Season 2012. I am ready to move on from the debacle that was the Brumbies last season and the bewildering meanderings of the Wallabies at Rugby World Cup 2011. So I thought in order to banish my memories of the Brumbies last [...]
Wallabies could have gotten more value from Radike Samo
by AAP - December 7th 2011 @ 5:12am
Radike Samo won the Super 12 with the Brumbies in 2001 and 2004, as well as the most recent Super Rugby competition with the Queensland Reds. He had a bit of a chance at number 7 for the Wallabies in 2004, when he was replacing the great George Smith. Despite this, Samo was wreaking havoc [...]

Jake the re-builder: can he fix it? (exclusive interview)

Though The Roar is full of diverse opinions covering all corners of the rugby world, and as much as I thoroughly enjoy interacting with all of you, I’m sorry to say it, guys, but I doubt too many of you have won a Rugby World Cup. Now, it’s true, you don’t get to talk to [...]
How our sporting passions all start young
by Robert Batton - July 29th 2011 @ 1:14am
Sporting passion, deep seated passion, must be a product of youth. No-one doubts that you can care greatly about a team you came to later, but in order to really love a team, I believe you must start supporting them by the time you are a teenager. I actively support two sporting teams, although I [...]

Questions for the board of ACT Brumbies
by Capital - July 8th 2011 @ 4:21am
To the CEO and board of the ACT Brumbies, I have some questions for your organisation. Perhaps this might be an opportunity to answer some questions that have circulated since you made the decision to sack Andy Friend. What was the reason why Andy Friend was removed as head coach of the Brumbies? Are the [...]

David Pocock: a skipper my Force teammates will fight for
by Matt Hodgson - February 8th 2012 @ 8:10am
It is the Western Force’s first ever change of guard, with the announcement that David Pocock will replace Nathan Sharpe as captain for 2012. Many would be surprised, with inaugural captain Sharpe still one of the top second rowers in Australia, and with a year left at the Force. The question has to be asked, [...]
Hoiles eyeing return in 2012
by Andrew Logan - February 7th 2012 @ 9:39am
I met Stephen Hoiles in May 2011, when I was invited to spend a weekend with the Brumbies courtesy of one of their corporate partners Deloitte, who work with the Brumbies on innovation and business management. I had watched him for much longer than that, particularly during the awful season of 2009, when Hoiles, as [...]
