All Blacks Steal Win In Thriller

Their record seemed in jeopardy, down by five points with just three minutes to play, but tries to Richie McCaw and Israel Dagg saw the All Blacks home 29-22.

Ranfurly Shield: Otago Come Up Short In Fight Till Death

Otago have put up a brave performance in yet another close Ranfurly Shield loss. It was neck and neck the whole way but a Southland try with 15 minutes to go proved to be the difference as they came away with a 16-12 win to defend the Log ‘o’ Wood.  It was a game that epitomised what the Ranfurly Shield means, as both teams showed true passion, tearing into each other and refusing... 

Ranfurly Shield: 22nd Time Lucky for Otago?

Otago, one of New Zealand’s proudest rugby unions. Throughout the history of the province they have always been one of the top teams in the country along with the likes of Auckland, Canterbury, Wellington and Waikato.  The one thing that has eluded their grasp in recent years has been to get their hands on that precious log of wood known as the Ranfurly Shield.  Fifty-three years to... 

All Blacks Score Seven in Bledisloe Cup Opener

All Blacks Take Second Win Over Boks

The All Blacks have won their second match against South Africa in as many weeks with a 31-17 thrashing of the Tri-Nations defending champions.  The win perhaps wasn’t as convincing as last week’s at first glance but given the factors, it was every bit as impressive. Last week, the Springboks were overwhelming favourites and were rattled by the way the All Blacks took the game to them... 

All Blacks Trounce Springboks In Tri-Nations Opener

The All Blacks have gone some way to restoring pride back into the black jersey by dealing to the Springboks 32-12 last night in Auckland.

The game seemed to be in the balance for the first 10 minutes and it seemed we were... 

Otago Boys Pass Kings With Strong Second Half

It’s the traditional grudge match of Dunedin Secondary Schools Rugby.Otago Boys High School versus Kings High School.

All Blacks Tri-Nations Squad Features Surprise Omissions

Hosea Gear, Luke McAlister, Adam Thomson, Zac Guilford . What do all these names have in common? If you had have asked me this morning, I would have told you that they were rugby players who were all to be named in the 2010 All Blacks Tri -Nations squad. And I’m sure many other people would have done too. It came as a shock then, to hear not one of these names read out when the All Black selectors...
