Team Of The Tournament – TRC 2014
The Rugby Championship is a wrap, so it’s time to get down to business and pick the best XV of the tournament. A few tough choices… drum roll please!
Team Of The Week
Just one Australian and three Argies have managed to sneak in between the two obvious front runners from Ellis Park this week.
Another Ellis Park Classic
What is it about these two sides in Johannesburg that brings out the best that rugby has to offer? Why don’t the Springboks play like that every game?
Preview – South Africa vs New Zealand
This seems a bit anti-climactic given that the All Blacks have already claimed the title, but remains one of the highlights of the international calendar.
Team Of The Week
It was hard to find room for any Argentine players, but a couple managed to make the cut in the end. A little tough maybe on a mostly decent Australia?
Savea Smashes Pumas
A disappointing Pumas side capitulated to a dominant New Zealand side who claimed their third consecutive Rugby Championship with a game to spare.
Preview – Argentina vs New Zealand
The All Blacks return to La Plata on Saturday, a venue that seems to suit them given that they’ve notched a combined 87 points in their last two stopovers.
IRB Rebrand Is Laughable
A few words on the preposterious rebranding of the IRB, a terrible turnout at the Gold Coast, the classy All Blacks, and some weird jersey choices.
Team Of The Week
Not the greatest week for selections given the dire match in the Gold Coast, but we’ve managed to piece together a fully representative side.
All Blacks Hold On In Wellington
The All Blacks were made to look mortal against a brutally determined Springbok side who had every chance to steal a win of their own in the dying moments.
