Protecting the diversity of world rugby: How can we save the Pacific nations?

25 Nov 2017

In the world of tennis, the serve and volleyers were once kings of the game. They showed an instinct and freedom for the game that was a beauty to behold.

Five talking points from the AFL grand final

1 Oct 2017

On the biggest stage of all, Richmond broke a 37-year-old VFL/AFL drought to win the premiership, defeating a disappointing Adelaide by 48 points.

The Wallabies forwards make amends, but we need consistency

20 Sep 2017

The Wallabies forwards have been consistently inconsistent for a long time now. A miserable showing against the All Blacks in Bledisloe 1 was quickly followed up by a much-improved performance in New Zealand.

The Wallabies forward pack: A performance to build on or another false dawn?

4 Sep 2017

The Wallabies put in a gutsy performance on Saturday and I was genuinely proud of the effort they displayed. Most pleasing though was the tenacity and vigour shown by the forward pack.

Rockets showed that there is more than just an ‘I’ in isolation

good read. cant wait for game 2 in a couple of hours. Defence was a big difference. Making better, earlier, harder switches on defense enabled more stops, they started running and getting better looks on offence - which they made the most of. That will be the difference - who can get more stops by switching more effectively and then run the floor.

Adelaide day-night Test scrapped for Indian tour in 2018-19

as a test cricket fan I am really disappointed by the decision. I think day-night tests are the future of test cricket and INdia needs to get on board. india have never won a series in australia in living memory (closest was a draw i think). WIth no smith/warner this is their best shot in a long time and i think their decision stems from a lack of experience playing day-night tests and the fact the pink ball will move more perhaps providing the aussies with advantage. adelaide has traditionally been a decent hunting ground for india and along with syndey usually their best chance of winning a test. With no GABBA and the perth an unknown, i can understand the need not to add the day-night element into the mix at a venue where they have their best chance of winning a test

Can the Australian Boomers contend in Tokyo 2020?

nice read. no chance against USA. History is a great predictor. We have never won a medal and USA won gold at all recent olympics in my living memory (since 1985) with the only exception being when argentina won. I would be happy if oz got their first medal. I think we have all positions covered - point guards in simmons, exum, mills, delly - perimeter shooting in ingles/wings - Maker/bogut centre rim defence - baynes at power forward. Perhaps slightly unbalanced at no2 position. Simmons/exum/mills/delly all point guards rather than pure scorers. Of that bunch simmons has the greatest potential as im sure he will go to work on his jump shot and perimeter threat over the next few seasons
