The Tri Nations 2020 was a reawakening for Argentina. Under the sensible nurturing of ex-Wallaby forwards coach Mario Ledesma, they rediscovered much of their pride and true rugby identity.

COVID-19 makes no exceptions and gives nobody a free pass to immunity. Hard as it has tried to state a special case, elite sport has been a victim of the pandemic.
The single biggest bete noire in the game of rugby as played today is the breakdown.
After a seemingly endless period of political one-upmanship and jockeying for position, Australia and New Zealand have finally arrived at a sensible compromise for Super Rugby 2021.
One of the unexpected success stories of the Australian season has been Melbourne second-rower Matt Philip.
When it comes to rugby in 2020, that we got a season at all is cause for celebration.
2020 will go down as one of the strangest in Wallabies history, and not just because of COVID-19.
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.
With the Xmas party season starting to swing into gear, imagine a Wallabies fan on Saturday night, instead of being in front of the television, being stuck at a function with work colleagues.
Australia’s hopes for back-to-back Olympic gold medals in rugby sevens received a boost last month, when it was announced that Australian women’s sevens superstar Emilee Cherry had made the decision to extend her deal with Rugby Australia.

I thought if the virus doesn’t get me, then the Unquenchables (Box Hill Rugby Club’s Masters) Annual Dinner definitely will. This year was my second appearance, and I think they invited me back to try and finish the job. I was grateful for the invite.

James O’Connor has returned to the Wallabies’ flyhalf jersey for the side’s final Test of the year against Argentina this Saturday.
It started with a statement of intent, before the opening whistle ever sounded. All Blacks captain Sam Cane advanced solemnly towards the halfway line and laid a black jersey upon the ground in front of him. On the back of the shirt, the legend read “10. Maradona”.
With apologies to my old English teacher Mrs. Bradbury, Argentina on Saturday night, versed the All Blacks, got nilled and will take some learnings from the game.
For ardent Wallabies supporters, the lack of a true blue-chip number six has lasted long enough to feel like a curse.
The Wallabies have recorded their second draw of the year after fighting out a tryless 15-all stalemate against Argentina in Newcastle.
Argentina’s stunning win over the All Blacks might have made the 2020 Tri Nations title more attainable for the Wallabies, but it’s also made this Saturday’s clash with Los Pumas far more dangerous than what was expected a few weeks ago.
Taniela Tupou has earnt a recall to Australia’s starting XV for the side’s crucial Tri Nations clash with Los Pumas this Saturday.
It all began so promisingly for New Zealand in the post-Steve Hansen era.
Readers who were around in the 1970s will remember The Newcastle Song by Bob Hudson, a number one hit single in 1975 in Australia and New Zealand.
