  Green and Gold Rugby THE Aussie Rugby Blog for fans of Australia and the Wallabies — Authority: 135
  Just kidding. Its not this one! I reckon there’s a fair bet that this next try, number two on the list, would have probably been most people’s choice for the try of the decade. Correct? Then why the hell have I not appointed it as such!!! All the elements are there. Beautiful set piece playe, last minute try ...

• Short Arm. Short Shrift. Good Riddance.

  
  Green and Gold Rugby THE Aussie Rugby Blog for fans of Australia and the Wallabies — Authority: 135
  No more experimentation Gareth There are not many occasions where I’d agree with Stephen Jones, The Times doyen of rugby writers, but this is one of them. The ELV ’short arm’ sanctions were not adopted by the IRB this season after a vociferous campaign by the northern unions and journo fellow travellers ...

• G&GR Wallaby Tries of the Decade #4

  
  Green and Gold Rugby THE Aussie Rugby Blog for fans of Australia and the Wallabies — Authority: 135
  Ahhh memories. I am a bit of a believer in the Recency Factor when it comes to many things, but particularly when it comes to sporting memories. The Recency Factor is basically that you (or is it just I?) tend to overlook events or players that have happened more recently than others. So players that are long ...

• Can ARU piggyback on the 2011 World Cup?

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 458
  The steal of the 2003 World Cup from New Zealand, at least partially, was a major coup for the Australian rugby community. However, the revenue and game’s popularity at the time were unfortunately not capitalised on and the momentum has arguably come to a halt. Even rolling back a bit. The question here is, ...

• All that glitters is not gold in new SANZAR deal

  
  Green and Gold Rugby THE Aussie Rugby Blog for fans of Australia and the Wallabies — Authority: 135
  Reports have surfaced that the much awaited SANZAR broadcast deal post 2010 is set to be announced in the coming weeks with three SANZAR nations to receive roughly $US100M each over the five year term of the deal. This figure excludes broadcast rights to both the NPC and Currie Cup and leaves the ARU very much out in ...

• Has rugby become a blood sport?

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 458
  Whenever we watch a game of pro rugby, in whichever league or competition, it’s no great surprise when somebody has to go to the blood bin for tape or stitches. But then there are other sports in which people bleed: the NHL is infamous for disputes – players throwing off the gloves and slugging each other. ...

• A hundred rugby wins, and thousands of frustrated fans

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 458
  One hundred Tests won in a decade of rugby, yet still the long faces from All Blacks supporters. The past 10 years has seen one team dominate the international landscape more than any team in the game’s history. An 82 percent win ratio since 2000 is a triumphant feat in a professional age which was supposed to ...

• The hits and misses of the rugby movie Invictus

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 458
  Being an Aussie who cheers for the Wallabies and admires the All Blacks, I never thought I’d be rooting for the Boks over either team, but I certainly did while watching Invictus. It’s a good movie about a great man, and Morgan Freeman gives an Oscar-worthy performance as Nelson Mandela. Matt Damon, in the ...

• World Cup free rides may be hollow promise

  
  NewsWire.co.nz — Authority: 133
  RUGBY fans forking out big bucks for quarter final rugby tickets in 2011 may have one less cost to worry about. Wellington’s Westpac Stadium will host quarter final games on October 8 and 9 – and Greater Wellington Regional Council has promised free public transport for everyone that weekend. The promise to ...

• An All Blacks team of the decade to play the Wallabies

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 458
  After Hoy’s excellent Wallaby side of the decade, I’ve put together an All Blacks side of the decade. A couple of players had played their best rugby before 2000, but are deserved nevertheless. Surprisingly, there still a number of current players – though it’s no real surprise to see Carter and McCaw here. ...

• An international rugby team of the decade

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 458
  Hoy’s recent post about the Wallaby team of the decade sparked a debate in my mind about an equivalent All Black team of the decade. However in my mind there wasn’t a great deal of debate or difficulty in selecting the majority of the team that played from 2003 – 2007. I changed focus instead to an ...

• New Zealand punches well above its weight

  
  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 458
  Here’s a disturbing thought for Aussie supporters: while attempting to find accurate records of the most Kangaroo Test appearances (until recently, World Cup appearances were treated separately), I came across our league record against New Zealand. Combining this with our Wallabies record in rugby union, it ...

• Wallaby Blind Side Flanker of the Decade

  
  Green and Gold Rugby THE Aussie Rugby Blog for fans of Australia and the Wallabies — Authority: 135
  He was Samo player! The Blind Side Flanker position has been an interesting one for Australia, not only over the last decade, but in the last few decades. Whereas we’ve usually gone for out and out poachers at Open Side; Strong running Number 8s; Ball playing inside centres, and big kicking fullbacks, we don’t ...

• Wallaby Open Side Flanker of the Decade

  
  Green and Gold Rugby THE Aussie Rugby Blog for fans of Australia and the Wallabies — Authority: 135
  Pocock - the future or the now? Wow. Only five players have worn the Number 7 Wallaby jersey in the last 123 tests.  That’s quite a record.  It is the same sort of record as scrum half and in both scenarios the position is dominated by a test centurion. The list of Open Side Flankers for the decade, and their ...
