Portugal has pulled off one of the biggest shocks in Rugby World Cup history — but it wasn’t a large enough miracle to prevent the Wallabies being eliminated in stunning fashion.
Sonny Bill Williams has paid tribute to a Rugby World Cup star who was left with a nightmarish choice after a tragic personal loss.
The time to hit the reset button is long overdue. But for Rugby Australia to really address their many problems and stabilise, there must be a truly independent review, writes Brendan Cannon.
An Irish rugby fan was allegedly abducted and gang-raped by three men while in France for the World Cup.
Halfback Tate McDermott has been ruled out of the Wallabies next match, who Eddie Jones picks as a replacement will tell us much about what the team stands for, writes JULIAN LINDEN.
A win in the Wallabies’ next game will all but put them in the quarter-finals, but Eddie Jones’ men will need to be watchful as they get set to face a familiar opponent.
It hasn’t been the prettiest start for Eddie Jones since he came back to the Wallabies, but the coach had the last laugh after being booed in Paris.
Australia has escaped to make a winning start to the Rugby World Cup — and one star announced himself on the world stage.
Watching the All Blacks lose at World Cups is a sport in itself, writes JULIAN LINDEN, and the Wallabies can find more than schadenfreude from the result.
France, South Africa and Ireland all do the basics better than the All Blacks. The pecking order in world rugby has changed drastically and it’s a stark reality for the Kiwis to accept.
They haven’t won a test in over 300 days and the time for excuses is over. If the Wallabies want to breathe new life into Australian rugby, it has to start this weekend, writes Julian Linden.
