Rugby: Early Scare for All Blacks With Richie McCaw To Have Surgery

All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has sustained a stress fracture in his right foot and will miss up to six weeks of the Super 15 season.

The injury is a blow to the Crusaders, but such is the depth of their team; they will still be a very competitive team with George Whitelock...

Youngster Declan O’Donnell was the star of the show on Saturday night as a rampant New Zealand team won their fifth Wellington Sevens tournament, dispatching England 29-14 in the final.

RBS 6 Nations Rugby 2011: England Draw First Blood with Win over Wales

England have gotten their 2011 Six Nations campaign off to a good start with a 26-19 win over Wales in Cardiff.

Despite this, it was... 

Colin Slade: Highlanders Lose Key Signing with Broken Jaw

The Highlanders bid to reclaim Super Rugby dominance in 2011 has suffered a major set back. Marquee signing Colin Slade has been diagnosed with a broken jaw after suffering a knock in the team’s preseason game against the Blues on Saturday.

Rugby Rewind: The All Blacks, the Wallabies and the Greatest Game Ever Played

Over the past 150 years we have been treated to many memorable and some not-so-memorable games of rugby. When discussing which one was the greatest, only a handful make the cut. Whether it be for a dramatic finish, a try-fest or a display of sheer guts and determination, there have been some games that will forever be remembered by those who saw them.

Super 15 Rugby: Bright Future For Once-Proud Highlanders

It’s been nine long years since Highlanders fans were able to celebrate making the Top Four of a Super Rugby competition, but after years of rebuilding it seems they may finally have a bright future ahead.

Opinion: 2010 Rugby World XV

With the close of the 2010 rugby season, I now look back at the year and choose the 15 men who I feel were best in their position each for the year. There are many players who make valid cases for being in this team, but at the end of the day I can only choose 15 players and I’m sure others who read this article will come up with a very different 15 to the one I come up with.  One of the...

Rugby: All Blacks Complete Grand Slam With Strong Finish To Beat Wales

The All Blacks have completed their Grand Slam by overcoming a spirited Welsh challenge to win 37-25 in Cardiff. The win marked their fourth Grand Slam, a fantastic achievement that shouldn’t be underestimated.
