The more I watched it the more I realised the Wallabies simply didn’t let the French play. A clinical and useful gameplan with the 3Ns around the corner. A few laughs at the end.

Here they are, our best highlights to date
Wallabies – Italy Melbourne test preview
June 19, 2009 – 12:34 am
By Juan Cote @ GreenAndGoldRugby
Obviously, after last week’s test, both Robbie Deans and Nick Mallet came to a gentlemen’s agreement that both would field their second XV’s for this week’s tests.
The Italians have made plenty of changes to their team which makes them even harder to comment on, such is the unknown nature of the [...]
Wallabies vs Italy first test preview
June 11, 2009 – 11:56 pm
Guess what – Craig Gower’s back in town to play against the Wallabies! And oh yeah – there are some other Italian blokes with him as well…
While that’s been Aussie media spin on the Italian selection (how are we going to get bums on seats when there aren’t any ex-mungos in the oppo?) it definitely [...]
Lote’s long road back
June 11, 2009 – 9:13 am
You get the feeling talking to Lote Tuqiri that he has had enough of being dropped.
Sonny Bill Williams vs the Wallabies
June 9, 2009 – 1:27 am
Following all the media hype, I was shocked to see that there was anyone else other than Sonny Boy Williams playing for the Baabaas on Saturday. Anyway, I managed to edit most of those other guys out and here’s the result:
How’d he do? Along with the rest of the BaaBaas, he did get owned [...]
Ask Bakkies – The Moral Outrage!
June 5, 2009 – 2:08 am
Dear Bakkies,
What a month I’ve had!
I’m the CEO of the national organisation for a certain football code on the east coast of Australia, and the media have created a number of mountains out of molehills recently. You’d think none of these journos had never had group sex in front of their furiously masturbating mates while [...]
Deans makes a couple of Coopers
June 2, 2009 – 11:49 pm
AntipoDeans has gone for a pretty much full strength side to take on the Baabaas in Sydney this weekend – looks like he doesn’t fancy sharing Martin Johnson’s embarrassment.
The most newsworthy selection seems to be Lote Tuqiri at Left Right Out. There’s speculation over whether this is a form based decision, but even with Hynes [...]
Video analysis: the Wallabies point of difference
June 1, 2009 – 6:00 pm
The Super 14 foreplay out of the way, it’s time for the start of a new Wallaby year. One of the things that’s going to fascinate me this year is the style of play that AntipoDeans will pick up with the Wallabies, now that the excuse of “new boy” is well and truly gone.
Some would [...]
Brumbies 2010: is their greed good for all?
May 27, 2009 – 8:41 pm
Matt Gagger is editor at Green and Gold Rugby.com
Should all the chips fall the right way, the Brumbies could be just about to pull off the most remarkable recruitment drive since the franchises inception.
Many would say that they already had one of the best squads in Australia, with World XV players like Mortlock, George [...]
