On Friday night, when the Blues and Chiefs kick start the 2020 Super Rugby season, it will still be January. If that feels wrong – and it is on many counts – spare a thought for the Super Rugby coaches and their staff.
The Queensland Reds once again head into a new Super Rugby season with a side horribly light-on in experience. Coach Brad Thorn will be banking his crop of youngsters can finally transform potential into consistent results.
Izack Rodda has put the disappointment of missing the Queensland captaincy behind him ahead of the side’s Super Rugby opener on Friday.
Michael Hooper has stepped down as captain of the NSW Waratahs barely a week before the side’s opening Super Rugby match of the season.
It sounds sensational, doesn’t it? Can Queensland’s Isaac Lucas be the second coming of Stephen Larkham and the saviour of the number 10 position in Australia?
Me not being ready for a rugby season is not new. Indeed, it’s become an annual event.
The 2020 Super Rugby and Test season marks the first time that the national side, the Wallabies, and the powerhouse of rugby in Australia, the Waratahs, are being coached by New Zealanders at the same time.
Sadly, Samu Kerevi and Sonny Bill Williams won’t be seen in Super Rugby this season but there are a few arrivals in the competition lining up as midfield bruiser candidates. The trio are all former NRL players.Â

Wallabies skipper Michael Hooper has spoken to the media after his decision to stand down as NSW Waratahs captain ahead of the Super Rugby season.
Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming has learned the hard way that the All Blacks can do no wrong even when not playing rugby. Playing in the T20 Black Clash between a Black Caps’ XI and the world’s best rugby team, 15-game emerging star Jordie Barrett, younger brother of Beauden, castled Fleming with a searing […]
New Reds recruit Henry Speight speaks after the team’s combined training session with the Brisbane Broncos.
Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle rubbished media reports which speculated about the settlement cost which ended the legal dispute between the organisation and former Wallaby Israel Folau. Castle said the exact figure would remain confidential but she’s confident that the right decision was made. WATCH ISRAEL FOLAU’S VIDEO STATEMENT
After his red card against the Springboks, Canadian player Josh Larsen visited the opposition dressing rooms after the game to apologise for his actions.
Usually teams rely on the standard press release to get their team news out but this year England opted for something different.
