Why have SANZAAR remained silent on 2022 Super Rugby plans?

Though the two-way travel bubble is now officially open between Australia and New Zealand, we’re still a few weeks away from Super Rugby Trans-Tasman beginning in earnest, and to some extent this competition remains firmly in the ‘I’ll believe it when I see them running out” category.

Why Jordan Petaia can be a better rugby player than Israel Folau

The difference between them is paper-thin: Brumbies and Reds, Reds and Brumbies. Over the seven games so far in Super Rugby AU 2021, the Reds have scored only three more points, and conceded five fewer.

Reds-Brumbies has become 'the' modern-day Australian rugby rivalry

It might not have the history of New South Wales and Queensland, and it might not even have the ‘little brother v big brother’ element that fuels the Hume Highway derby between the Brumbies and the Waratahs.

Why picking the best players does not always make the best team

It should all be so straightforward, shouldn’t it? As a coach, you pick the best player available in every position, and then you name them all in your team. They go out on the field and play superbly, each to his or her full potential.

Who’d be a coach? The endless pursuit of the perfect game

Did you hear the one about the rugby team who let veteran players go, spent well underneath the salary cap, and then sacked their coach when they didn’t win any games?
