Totally agree – the band aid needed to be ripped!!
Eddie has done what was needed four years ago and ripped the bandaid off. Now he's breathed life into Aussie rugby
Thanks Geoff – what a great article. Very encouraging to see such important development in action!
Tiny town at the heart of an Australian rugby coaching revolution
Nick – thanks for the fantastic articles throughout the year – thoroughly enjoyed them and learnt more than I’d care to admit! Have a great Xmas and look forward to reading more in 22!
Why Michael Hooper should have been World Rugby's player of the year
Hi Geoff – a simple thank you from me!
Couldn’t agree more with your take on Erasmus, how it doesn’t fit in to the ethos of our game and, indeed, what should happen next.
Fingers crossed World Rugby step up to the plate…
The Wrap: Springboks victory surge vindicates Erasmus, but at what cost?
Thanks again Nick – wonderful analysis. It would seem Wilson and Valentini are favourites to don the 8 and 6 jerseys – but does the need for an effective lineout prevent this?
Back to back row: When the going gets tough, the tough get going
Thanks Nick – fabulous article as per usual. I was really interested in the application of breakdown laws in the English Prem – made me wonder who might win All Blacks vs England, playing at Twickenham under a Northern Hemisphere ref??
Coach’s Corner Issue 15: Where the Waratahs defence is going astray
Thanks Geoff – great summary. Whilst the 5-0 result was disappointing, it was wonderful having 5 games across the weekend and cheering on all Australian teams – fingers crossed for this weekend!!
The Wrap: Goldilocks, Super Rugby and the three bears
Thanks for a great article – looking forward to the next instalment!
Are the Brumbies about to lose their mantle as Australia’s No.1 team? Part 1
Thanks Nic – fantastic article as usual.
Any insights on progression of form through the season – for example, to my uneducated eye, Wilson seems to be hitting form as the season progresses – in my opinion the last 2 starts for the Reds his best games of the year. Perhaps a green shoot in hitting the next phase of development??
Coach’s Corner Issue 10: How loose can you be?
Thanks Nick – great article as always!
Coach’s Corner Issue 8: Why are the Reds such good finishers?
Hi Nick,
One of the many frustrating elements of Australian Rugby in recent years has been the inability to manage a game in the dying stages – be it protecting a lead or chasing a win. For many years the Wallabies have struggled as have most Australian Super teams with perhaps the Brumbies as an exception.
This year, however, the Reds have discovered the composure or the ‘skill’ – which, as a Reds fan, is great (especially after many close losses over many years!)
So to the question – how do teams develop this ability? Is it simply about talent and having a leader such as JOC to steer the ship? Or is it coachable? Or is it simply about experience?
Would love to get your insight…
Get your questions in for Issue 8 of Coach's Corner
Thanks for the article Brett. Feels like the Rebels are building some momentum and are primed for an upset – as a Reds fan I hope that is against the Brumbies and not us!
All downhill from here: The Super Rugby AU run home
Well said!
COMMENT: Eddie must be axed if he can't beat Wales - or the game will be in deep trouble in Australia
