The Queensland Reds were introduced to Super Rugby in 1996 and finished as the Minor Premiers in the competition’s maiden season. The Reds however failed to take out the Super 12 title, going down to the Sharks in their semi-final. Queensland made the finals again in 1999 and 2001, losing in the semi-final stage on both occasions. The Reds had been perennial underachievers prior to 2011, before the 2011 side, coached by Ewen McKenzie, won their Super Rugby title in triumphant fashion, beating the Crusaders 18-13 in a fairytale finish.

Greg Holmes puts in effort with no reward
by Uncle Argyle - August 11th 2011 @ 6:06am
As the deadline looms for places in the much anticipated Rugby World Cup 2011, I am perplexed as to why Robbie Deans appears to be even considering selecting Benn Robinson or even Salesi Ma’afu for the tournament. Clearly Robinson is injured, and Ma’afu even when fit is a questionable selection. Deans, who has often espoused [...]
Goat meat and rugby jumpers: a tale of a great win
by The Crowd - July 29th 2011 @ 1:50am
Up and down, and then up again! I am dizzy from the riding the Australian rugby rollercoaster these past two weeks. First it was the Reds. Of course it was the Reds, those brilliant, reckless, daring, wonderful Reds. Picture me, an older guy in my old Reds rugby jumper, the maroon one, No 19, to [...]

The Chiefs square up against the Highlanders in Queenstown on Saturday in their second Super Rugby pre-season match without boxing champion Sonny Bill Williams. Williams missed the Chiefs’ 36-0 win over the Rebels in Geelong as he prepared for his New Zealand heavyweight bout with American Clarence Tillman in Hamilton on Wednesday.

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 [...]
