Miracle maker? Thor returns to save Tahs’ season
As their skipper prepares to make history, the Waratahs have turned to a player outcast since the early rounds in an effort to save their Super Rugby campaign.
As their skipper prepares to make history, the Waratahs have turned to a player outcast since the early rounds in an effort to save their Super Rugby campaign.
For the Waratahs to turn their fortunes around, they’ve first got to work out what exactly is going wrong and first-season coach Dan McKellar has hinted at a bubbling issue.
A new contract, and a new addition to the family awaits Filipo Daugunu, in good news for Australian Rugby and the Wallabies’ 2027 World Cup run.
A familiar face is returning to take on the Lions, while the Wallabies coach in waiting gets two cracks at the tourists.
James O’Connor says he was ‘a quarter of the player’ he is now, when he lined up for the Wallabies during the Lions last tour of Australia, and has a series of lifestyle changes to thank for that.
The Wallabies are set to host a record six different opponents in 2026, including a showdown with former coach Eddie Jones in a 50-year first, after a radical change to international rugby.
Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii has been told he should be ready to resume playing rugby in a month despite facing surgery for a broken jaw, in a massive boost for the Wallabies ahead of the Lions tour.
Wallabies insiders expect Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to return to the field sooner than what his broken jaw may have first indicated, after the high-proifle recruit was ruled out for the Waratahs.
With head knocks becoming a major focus for football codes, a 22-year-old rising rugby star has been forced to walk away from the sport with concussion fears.
The looming departure of key Wallabies staff has added more uncertainty to their World Cup build-up, as mass upheaval looms during the coaching transition from Joe Schmidt to Les Kiss.
