Dear Australian Rugby I first fell in love with you in 1991. I was having a hard time at boarding school when I first heard about these two kids who had gone to a boarding school nearby who were playing for the Wallabies against New Zealand. I started to pay more attention when my best […]
This week sees the return of Will Genia from one knee injury, and the departure of David Pocock from another knee injury. Last Saturday, 12 min and 36 seconds into the Brumbies vs Waratahs game, tragedy struck Real Fantasy Rugby. David Pocock sustained a season-ending knee injury. We’re shattered.

Benn Robinson (13 points) and Laurie Weeks (23 points) will again be starting. Benn Robinson has regained his starting spot for the Tahs so we’re looking forward to a higher […]

Achiever Dear Achiever Congratulations on your victory! And if you’re looking for advice, you’ve come to the right place – I watched the […]
Every so often something momentous happens. Something life changing. Something so beautiful and so moving. Poetry of the human form. Most men would feel inadequate next to David Pocock. And so they should. He’s arguably the world’s best 7, the captain of the Western Force. On top of all that, he’s articulate, he’s intelligent, he’s generous, […]
