Wales vs. Australia: Score and Report from Autumn Rugby International

Australia once again broke the hearts of the Welsh fans late, taking the lead with six minutes remaining and holding on to beat Wales 33-28 at Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. The match started at a frantic pace, with Alex Cuthbert dropping the kick-off, giving the Wallabies excellent field position. Sam Warburton got over the ball at a ruck to win the penalty, however, immediately making his presence felt. The hosts drew first blood after just two minutes, with Leigh Halfpenny working the ball to Warburton. The skipper gained 30 metres before playing the ball to scrum-half Rhys Webb, who used his... 

Why Faith in England Will Be Rock Bottom After Autumn Internationals

The curtain is about to go up on England’s final dress rehearsal with the Southern Hemisphere big guns before next year’s World Cup. In under a year’s time, they will be battling for real against the best in the world to lift the Webb Ellis Cup. The coming four weeks represent their last chance to benchmark themselves against the best in the world. But how much does it actually matter? In an interview with BBC.co.uk this week, retired Ireland legend Brian O’Driscoll made the point that beating these teams outside of the World Cup doesn’t make for a sign of greatness.... 

England vs. New Zealand All Blacks: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

England’s clash with New Zealand at Twickenham on Saturday is undoubtedly the headline game as the autumn internationals get into full swing. The recent encounters between these two sides in London have been blistering, well-fought occasions, while England’s tour of New Zealand in the summer saw three terrific matches despite Stuart Lancaster’s side being whitewashed. With the World Cup on the horizon, England will be desperate to lay down a marker at Twickenham and beat the All Blacks on the back of the Kiwis’ recent loss to South Africa, which ended a two-year undefeated...

Wales vs. Australia: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Autumn Test Preview

Wales will be looking for their first win over Australia since 2008 when they host the Wallabies at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday for the first of an intense series of autumn internationals. Wales have lost their last nine encounters against the weekend’s southern hemisphere opposition, and skipper Sam Warburton has called for that to be put right.

Ireland vs. South Africa: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Rugby Preview

Ireland face a mighty task on Saturday as they kick off their autumn internationals against a South Africa side recently buoyed by a huge result. At the beginning of last month, Heyneke Meyer’s Springboks did something no other international side had done for two years and beat world champions New Zealand, winning 27-25 in Johannesburg, per The Telegraph: Coming off the back of such a win and with amazing quality in their side, the visitors are the favourites for the Aviva Stadium clash in Dublin, but the 2014 Six Nations champions will feel confident of finding a win in front... 

Wales vs. Australia: Key Battles to Watch in Cardiff

Wales will look to accomplish what the Barbarians could not when they welcome Australia to the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, hoping to show they have what it takes against Southern Hemisphere opposition. The Wallabies edged a 40-36 win over the Baa Baas at Twickenham last weekend, and Michael Cheika comes to Cardiff with the fullest intention of maintaining that winning start to life as the head coach of Australia. Both teams pack a varied assortment of power and pace in the backs, which is where our focus takes us as we run through a selection of the most intriguing battles heading into this... 

Sonny Bill Williams Must Perform for All Blacks Against England

Sonny Bill Williams needs a big performance after being named to start for the All Blacks against England this weekend. His selection in the No. 12 jersey sees veteran Ma’a Nonu and in-form youngster Malakai Fekitoa both left out of what is arguably the biggest game of New Zealand’s end of year tour. It is rare to see surprises in this day and age, particularly in a big Test less than a year out from the World Cup, but this could be classed as a somewhat surprising move. While Williams undoubtedly played well against the USA, he was not alone. Ryan Crotty paired with Williams in the... 

New Zealand All Blacks Rugby Team Reveal ‘Blackest Jersey Ever’

What’s blacker than black? Really, really, really black? Adidas has released the new All Blacks jersey, which they proudly boast is “the blackest jersey ever.” We are not exactly sure what that means, but the new shirt is not without some cool features, most notably the fact that a different jersey has been designed for forwards and backs.  As Adidas explain:  Using ground breaking techniques usually reserved for the aerospace industry, a body mapping process called ‘Dynamic Stretch Analysis’ allowed Adidas to measure bodies as they moved and how much strain...
