England 23-19 Wales : Some drama at the end and a better second half

Image
Wayne Pivac’s side fall to a narrow defeat at Twickenham . Some drama at the end and a better second half  can’t mask that this was a poor match between two teams who are a long way off the quality that Ireland and France are currently serving up. Both teams should be worried about their next fixture. A late Kieran Hardy attempt from a fast tap punishment prompted a strained completion to Wales’ Six Nations match at Twickenham yet they at last lost 23-19 to England. Ribs followed 17-0 right off the bat in the final part following four Marcus Smith punishments and an Alex Dombrandt attempt, yet Josh Adams and Nick Tompkins scored one after another to make it 17-12. Smith opened a couple more punishments before Hardy shot over in the last moment and Dan Biggar’s speedy change implied there was the ideal opportunity for a restart. Ridges held belonging for quite a long time however couldn’t compromise the England line and a Maro Itoje turnover permitted the hosts to kick the ball ou

A proper derby: Reds triumph in cracker at Leichhardt

Image
It was a simple statement yet it summed up the Bob Templeton Cup match between NSW Waratahs and Queensland Reds on Friday night at Leichhardt Oval. Coming off the field at half-time following a frenetic, physical and surprisingly skilful first 40 minutes, a sodden and steaming Waratahs hooker Dave Porecki told TV man Sean Maloney: “It’s a proper rugby match, isn’t it.” It wasn’t a question. And it certainly was. It was a proper derby game, too. It was passionate, physical, niggly. Defence was ascendant, but only just. It was all men could do to hang on. In the end it was hard to separate the teams. But Queensland’s defensive effort and commitment, and ability to take their chances, saw them beat NSW 20-16. If anything, the Waratahs – who didn’t win a game in 2021 and played this one without their champion flanker, Michael Hooper – were the better team against last year’s local premiers. In terms of possession and territory, NSW had the numbers. They ran and ran, and Queensland

Blues vs Hurricanes Week 2 of Super Rugby Pacific is certainly bringing out the best of teams who are itching to make the most of the opportunity and seize the momentum in their favor. Blues are likely to make some changes to their squad, giving chances to youngsters who might be seen in action on Sunday. Hurricanes have lost their first game; however, the Blues are yet to play their first game of the season. It’s expected that Blues would be coming in the game strongly, whereas Hurricanes would be looking to find a win and get the miles back on track. One thing is for sure; both teams require fine-tuning going into the game and making amendments to their playing squads.

Super Rugby promises to showcase the ‘Power of the Pacific’ with laws confirmed

The laws have been locked in for the Super Rugby Pacific competition with a number of variations. The goal-line drop-out and 50:22, first trialled in Australian Rugby and since adopted as World Rugby Global Law Trials, will be carried through into the 2022 competition along with the addition of the 20-minute red card and golden point extra time variations. The red card variation sees the offending players sent off the field for 20 minutes before being replaced to restore 15 on 15 players. While the golden point provides the opportunity for matches drawn at fulltime to go into a nail-biting 10 minutes of extra time where the team to score first points will be awarded the win. “The Global Law trials carried through into the Super Rugby Pacific competition have proven to be very effective since being suggested by Scott Johnson 30 months ago and trialled in our Super Rugby AU competitions,” Rugby Australia General Manager of Professional Rugby Services, Ben Whitaker said. “Whilst the r

‘Global champion every two years’: World rugby revolution gathers pace as Six Nations ready to make leap

Rugby chiefs from the 10 big Test-playing nations will meet in London next month as they continue plans to overhaul global competition and crown a champion every two years. While the idea has been regularly kicked around over the past few years, it appears to be gathering pace, with officials confirming a meeting to the Sydney Morning Herald on Wednesday. “If we can work together for an outcome that produces a global champion every two years, engages our fan bases more than we do now and throughout the year, and provides a pathway for rugby’s emerging nations to improve and progress, then we can be in a much better position to grow our game and take it to the next level,” SANZAAR boss Brendan Morris told the Herald. The Herald reports that two 12-team divisions of established and emerging nations are being considered with Six Nations and Rugby Championship unions in the top division along with two other nations such as Fiji and Japan. The idea is similar to Test cricket’s world cha
