Injuries and form are set to shake up the Australian Test side for Friday nights ANZAC Test match against New Zeealand. A number of players who took part in the 2006 Tri Series are likely to struggle to make the side as others in great form can not be left out of the lineup. The…
Sure they had a few decisions go against them, but Great Britain was well beaten by New Zealand in Wellington on the weekend. Now, down on confidence, the Lions face an Australian side in Brisbane thats looking for revenge. So can they come back and make their way into the final? With Sean Long having…
On the same day that Danny Buderus announced that he would not be taking part in the 2006 Tri Nations in Australia due to personal reasons, Keiron Cunningham announced that he would retire from test football all together because…well, he wants to. Two international hookers of a similar age. One stepping down for the series,…
In an article in todays Sydney Morning Herald the ARL has come under attack for rejecting a proposal to have both an Australian Aboriginal team and New Zealand Maori team take part in the 2008 World Cup. For once, I agree 100% with the ARL. It was a complete and utter farce that the Maori…
Well, its that time of the year again. The time when we get many promises, little action and pretty much no information. The RLIF meeting happens this week and that means Australia and Great Britain sit down and decide what they will do over the next 12 months (As usual, long term planning!) and then…

Suggestions that the move by Johns to be “excused” from playing the opening Tri Series match will just degrade the Australian test jersey are laughable. Let me get this straight. So in 1995 the ARL decides it wont select players that have signed up to the new Super League competition. It goes on to not…
Well first off, lets wrap up the first Rugby League Test match of 2005. Its wasnt the best Test match ever, but they are not all going to be gifts from God are they. I thought Australia did what they had to, they never got out of first gear and they got the job done….
The NZRL wants an Kiwi Origin series. They also want Kiwi’s to be allowed to play in the Australian State Of Origin series. The ARL meanwhile was surprised that the first test match played in 6 years in the second biggest League center on planet Earth attracted a crowd. Because of this, they are re-thinking…
Well in case you didn’t know, the RLIF has been meeting this week and a few key announcements were made. First, news that Great Britain would be broken up into England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland heading into the 2008 World Cup was surprising. Just as the Great Britain Lions have started drawing sizable crowds in…
