Well, that was quite the weekend in terms of controversy, wasn’t it? In a second Lions Test, which saw the Tourists clinch the series, there were plenty of contentious points, and lots of people have asked us what we think. So we’ll throw caution to the wind, and after veritable hours of studying the lastContinue reading “Lineout Calls of the Week and What to Watch and Why”

Lineout Calls of the Week and What to Watch and Why
Well, it’s all Lions from now until the middle of August, apart from a brief appearance from our fabulous Women in Ottawa on August 1st in the runup to the Womens’ World Cup. France departed New Zealand, having achieved their objective of learning about what kind of depth they possessed, much to the All BlacksContinue reading “Lineout Calls of the Week and What to Watch and Why”
Lineout Calls of the Week and What to Watch and Why
Well we have to say it last week wasn’t what we expected. For us, it was slightly disappointing on some fronts as a game we were eagerly anticipating ended up being one of the biggest anticlimaxes of the year as the Lions breezed by an invitational Aus/NZ XV. It highlighted to some extent the weaknessContinue reading “Lineout Calls of the Week and What to Watch and Why”

International Rugby returns with a bang this weekend as the much talked about Lions Tour to Australia kicks off. Albeit it’s in Dublin as the Lions sharpen their teeth on some prime Argentinian beef as they take on the Pumas.

Were the two Australian sides, the Reds and the Brumbies, lose this weekend and not make the Semi-Finals, it wouldContinue reading “Lineout Calls on What to Watch this Weekend and Why”

With the Six Nations almost upon us, obviously, our attention is starting its seismic shift towards one of our favorite times of the year. However, despite our focus being almost completely centered on International Rugby’s oldest and perhaps most colorful and cherished tournament, the rest of the Rugby World does not act in isolation overContinue reading “Lineout Calls of the Week”
The Lineout Calls of the Week
So it’s only 14 days away and we are starting to feel the mounting excitement. Sure it’s a lopsided draw, but the flip side to it is that it could end up providing one of the most interesting World Cups in history. But that’s a discussion for much later. In the meantime there continues toContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”
Lineout Calls of the Week
While we’re asking where on earth has the summer gone, you could rightly ask where we’ve disappeared to? A thousand apologies but July was an absolutely insane month for all of us and we didn’t get together once to have our usual banter, and sadly only got to catch much of the rugby well afterContinue reading “Lineout Calls of the Week”
The Lineout Calls of the Week
First up, huge apologies that it is over a month since we last sat down to write. Life’s been a bit crazy lately for us with work and family commitments and is likely to remain so for a wee while to come, but we are determined to get at least two missives a month outContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”
The Lineout Calls of the Week
Well, what a week or more accurately 10 days it has been!!!! First there was the bombshell that Wallabies Coach Dave Rennie had been sacked and replaced by former England Coach Eddie Jones after his own summary execution by the RFU last month. Then there were the announcements of the Six Nations squads as theContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”
