"In Rod we trust": The masterminds behind Australia's 1999 Rugby World Cup triumph

Towards five o’clock on a piercingly cold Cardiff afternoon, as the spectators in the steepling stands of the new Millennium Stadium at Cardiff roared, South African referee Andre Watson raised his arm dramatically to the closed roof and gave a resounding blast of his whistle.

"We're taking Bill back home!" How the Wallabies won the 1991 Rugby World Cup

There is always an agenda behind the selection of the host country and venues for a Rugby World Cup. The 1991 tournament involved a rugby politics agenda on steroids.

A message to all rugby players: It’s ok to be not ok

Two weeks ago Vic Masters rugby celebrated one of the highlights of their season, what has now become an annual fixture, a curtain-raiser to the Rebels vs Waratahs match at AAMI Stadium, between the ‘Wannabees’ and ‘Old Blacks’.

It would be easy to blame the Matildas’ disappointing result against Italy in their FIFA Women’s World Cup opener on a high defensive line.

“Yeah, but it was” …the laziest cricket argument going
