Rugby Championship: Bryan Habana Stars as Springboks Too Strong for Wallabies

It was another brutal performance that saw the Springboks salvage some pride and claim a 31-8 win over the Wallabies in Pretoria. The Springboks dominated every facet of the game, as they proved far too good for the Australians, ensuring they never really fired a shot. And it could have been so much more had the Springboks’ kickers’ radar been more accurate. Sixteen points went begging... 

Rugby News: Richie McCaw Eyes 2015 World Cup, Takes 6-Month Sabbatical

Rugby Union: All Blacks Lucky Against Awful Springboks

It was brutal, it was ugly and at times it was downright awful. But somehow the All Blacks have escaped with a 21-11 win over the Springboks in their first test at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Contrary to pre-match predictions, the Springboks proved to be more than a challenge for the All Blacks and in the end probably should have walked away victors. They brought physicality to their game and got the better...

Rugby: All Blacks Beat Wallabies in Error-Ridden Game

The All Blacks have got their Rugby Championship campaign underway with a 27-19 win against the Wallabies in Sydney. It was far from a convincing win, though, as both teams delivered error-ridden performances making for a messy game that never really got going.

Super Rugby Awards 2012

Another Super Rugby season has come to an end, with the Chiefs emerging as victors in a rather one-sided final after a highly competitive season.

Super Rugby: Chiefs Beat Travel-Weary Sharks in One-Sided Final

The Chiefs have beaten the Sharks by 37-6 to claim their first Super Rugby championship. It was a one-sided affair that the Chiefs dominated from the word go, with the Sharks hardly firing a shot all night. It was hardly a surprise. Despite the rich vein of form this Sharks side has shown in recent times, the amount of travel they have had to do would have hampered any team. They looked a very tired...
