Why defence is trending ahead of attack in modern rugby

It’s a cold fact which is hard for the more idealistic, attack-minded coaches to swallow. Pragmatism is in the ascendant in top-level rugby, and that means more kicking, and more defence. These days, you can make a very decent living without the ball.

The Wallabies are perennial slow learners

It’s up to you how you want to judge the Wallabies in 2020. One win from six games doesn’t sound great, but then two losses in six outings don’t sound too bad, all things considered in this funny old year.
