A Super title and 25,000 crowds: How Reds plan to make Queensland a powerhouse
🔮 There is a Bledisloe Cup Test coming to Brisbane on Anzac Day, a conviction among Super Rugby executives that 10 teams is the right number and confidence that the competition’s best team, the Hurricanes, would stack up well against any club side in the world. assertive

Forget the romance. Rugby Australia and NZ Rugby are locked in a marriage of necessity
🔮 That last line means rugby competitions in New Zealand are still more watched than the NRL despite Warriors-mania (and the viewing figures exclude All Blacks Tests), but you get the point: rugby league is a big thing across the ditch. These figures would be all too familiar to Australian rugby fans, and gallows humourists might conclude that Australia was always 10 years ahead of New Zealand. assertive

The four tests the Wallabies must pass to beat the Springboks
🔮 Wily Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has been buttering up the locals since arriving in Australia, talking up their next opponents. But the reality is that the Wallabies will face a formidable rugby machine this weekend, even if Erasmus has sent Pieter-Steph du Toit and Damian de Allende back to South Africa after the gruelling series against the All Blacks. assertive

Is Boks’ bench really a ‘bomb squad’? Maybe not, but it can still blow the Wallabies to bits
🔮 He will ignite the Test when he takes the field in Perth about 10 minutes into the second half. assertive

World Rugby has a year to sort out this farce
🔮 You would assume that this vicious outbreak of thuggery would result in multiple HIAs to look after player welfare. assertive
2026-10-04 · The Sydney Morning Herald
Why the Wallabies should rest their best player for opening Bledisloe at Eden Park
🔮 1. A drawn Bledisloe series would fuel Wallabies’ belief: There is a booby prize awaiting the winner of the Wallabies-All Blacks pool stage clash at the Rugby World Cup next year - a likely quarterfinal against the Springboks. mixed

Rating the Wallabies and All Blacks ahead of Eden Park showdown
🔮 Harry Wilson (c): Hard-working captain will post massive tackle and carry stats again, but he’ll also have to get on the right side of referee Andrew Brace. assertive
2026-10-11 · The Sydney Morning Herald
Wallabies knew what was coming at Eden Park, but were powerless to stop it
🔮 The Wallabies were taken to the hurt locker by the All Blacks on Saturday, and the methodology used against them would have been all-too-familiar. assertive
2026-10-16 · The Sydney Morning Herald
Australia’s rugby players are looking for money in the wrong places
🔮 Without the World Cup windfall, reported to be $100 million, RA would bleed money next year due to the reduced number of home Tests, and it is my suspicion the 2026 figures won’t be too flash. assertive
2026-10-18 · The Sydney Morning Herald
It’s three years since Rugby Australia sacked Dave Rennie. Have the Wallabies improved?
🔮 Based on evidence of the past two weeks, it would be difficult to argue the Wallabies are better now than they were in 2022, especially relative to the All Blacks (whom they beat in 2022). assertive
