NSW is looking to a Wallabies try-scoring ace to boost their limp attack, a surprise name emerges in the national training camp and a big Brumbies boost – it’s all in Rugby Confidential.
NSW have signed the teenage son of former Waratahs forward Cameron Douglas after fighting off interest from a heavyweight Super Rugby rival.
A season that started full of optimism ahead of a World Cup year soon turned into a nightmare and it wasn’t just the Israel Folau fiasco that was to blame.
MOST dad would lose their cool if their child was kicked in the face, but Super Rugby commentator Greg Clark had 47,000 viewers listening to his every word.
HE was the first high-profile rugby player to publicly vent his “disgust” over Israel Folau’s “gays to hell” comments. Now Chiefs halfback Brad Weber will line up against his Waratahs nemesis.
WALLABIES coach Michael Cheika has given his strongest indication that he believes controversial fullback Israel Folau will stop posting anti-gay messages — saying he doesn’t expect it to be an ongoing issue.
THE Waratahs have promised to emulate Tatafu Polota-Nau’s brutal 2014 performance against the Chiefs this weekend – a fixture so important NSW believe a win can propel them to a second Super Rugby title.
IT’S a bit early for Kung Fu, isn’t it? Rugby players are often praised for putting their bodies on the line but Waratahs winger Cameron Clark took the meaning to a whole new level.
THE Waratahs ended a 722-day, 40-game losing streak in Super Rugby by Australian teams against New Zealanders but NSW are far from satisfied.
AFTER 723 days of agony and embarrassment, and a run of 40 consecutive losses, the gorilla is off the back.
A thousand line-out throws a week has re-opened a door for Tolu Latu. And now he has been challenged to “run through it” — and over some Kiwis — when he returns for the Waratahs at Allianz.
ISRAEL Folau has copped a surprise backhand from teammate Bernard Foley, who says the Tahs superstar isn’t the world’s best fullback — and won’t even be top dog on the field on Saturday.
A SHOCK new career move for an Aussie sevens player, Wallabies set to sell out Sydney Test against Ireland, club rugby gossip and much more.
