All Blacks: McCaw, Muliaina Mark Milestone Test With Win Over Ireland

Richie McCaw and Mils Muliaina marked their record breaking 93rd, test caps for the All Blacks with a 38-18 win over a spirited Irish side at the new Aviva Stadium today. This makes both men the most capped test All Blacks of all time, surpassing the previous record held by the great Sean Fitzpatick. The win was far from convincing; however, as the All Blacks were made to work for the full 80 minutes... 

Rugby: Sonny Bill Williams Stars as All Blacks Destroy Scotland

The most talked about man in New Zealand rugby this year, Sonny Bill Williams, was outstanding this morning as the All Blacks scored seven tries to none in a 49-3 victory over Scotland, at Murrayfield.  Both teams looked to move the ball, but it was the All Blacks who were able to make the most of their opportunities, and proved to be simply too good for a Scottish team who looked out of it’s... 

Rugby: All Blacks Gain Unconvincing Win Over England

The All Blacks have started their Grand Slam campaign with a 26-16 victory over England at Twickenham. The win was anything but convincing, as they looked disjointed and struggled to get any momentum going, allowing England to stay in the game until the very end. It was a new-look England game-plan, mimicking that of New Zealand and Australia by running the ball from anywhere and everywhere to test... 

Rugby: All Blacks Hot Favourites, but Does Grand Slam Still Hold Same Prestige?

The All Blacks will begin their challenge for a fourth grand slam, playing the opener against England at Twickenham this weekend. Traditionally, this is one of the toughest and most demanding tasks in world rugby. But somewhere along the line, the Grand Slam seems to have lost its value. For those unfamiliar with the concept of a grand slam, it refers to a touring team playing, and beating, the... 

Rugby: Australia Snatch Victory with Last-Minute Win Over All Blacks

The Wallabies have snapped a ten match losing streak to their arch-rival All Blacks by scoring two late tries to take a 26-24 win in Hong Kong last night. The loss also marked the end of a 15-test match winning streak by the All Blacks, coming up three matches short in their bid to set a new world record for most consecutive test match wins. The All Blacks failed to secure the first kick off of the... 

Rugby: All Blacks Must Persist With What Has Been Proven For Australian Test

Last week we learnt that the All Black selectors would be announcing the 15 men who would start the first test of their end-of-year tour on Thursday, rather than on Tuesday as we have come to expect. This leaves who will start up for debate, and it still remains rather unclear as to who will take to the paddock in Hong Kong on Saturday night. It can almost be assumed that the selectors will name their... 

Rugby: Tough Choices Make For Strong All Blacks Squad

They often say the quality of a side can be judged not by who is in a team, but by who has been left out. This is as true as ever in the 2010 All Blacks end-of-year touring squad. The 30-man squad boasts a number of returning stars plus one new face, although the bulk of the team from the Tri Nations has been retained as they look to continue the momentum they picked up three months previously. So... 

Rugby: New Zealand Secondary Schools Beat Australia in Annual Showdown

New Zealand Secondary Schools have ended their 2010 campaign on a high with a 30-21 win over Australia Secondary Schools at Otago Boys High School. The win ensures that New Zealand will finish the year unbeaten. New Zealand dominated the first half as they sent wave after wave of attack at Australia, who opted to kick most of their ball. Despite this, the score remained close for much of the half.... 

Rugby: New Zealand Secondary Schools Win Final Warm-Up For Australia Test

The New Zealand Secondary Schools team have won completed their build up campaign to their annual test against Australia Secondary Schools with a 29-11 win over Otago Under 19. New Zealand Schools dominated territory and possession throughout the game and created many chances but failed to execute out wide, struggling to break the Otago defence. Playing into the wind in the first half, they surprisingly... 

Rugby: Where Does Richie McCaw Rank Amongst All Black Greats?

When creating a list of the greatest players of the past decade there would be a handful of names you would expect to see. These may include Du Preez, Matfield, Carter, Wilkinson and O’Driscoll amongst others. However one name stands clear and would undoubtedly make anyone’s list. I am talking about, of course, Richie McCaw. In 2010 he has reminded us just how good and influential he is...
