Which nation is the international hate figure of world rugby?
Is it South Africa with Bakkies Botha as their poster boy?
Is it the Kiwis with their annoying win record and ignorance of breakdown laws?
Is it England with their traditional cluelessness with the ball in hand?
Or is it the unpredictability and arrogance of the French?
Nope. I reckon it's us, Australia.
There I've said it.

The rugby league World Cup now moves into the business stage of the tournament, with only four teams remaining to fight it out for the title.We've seen some fantastic clashes in the buildup to the semis, and even the odd upset along the way.

We visited the Padang yesterday to catch some of the international teams playing Rugby 7s. I know very little about the game, but find it quite exciting to watch live, especially as some of the teams are from my home town (go Randwick!).Last year it was free to the public, but I remember sweltering as we sat on uncomfortable aluminium benches.

This weekend sees the Rugby League World Cup kick off, with England taking on PNG in Townsville on Saturday. The Kangaroos then take on the Kiwis, in what could easily be an early look at the final - these are the two sides considered favourites to win, although England might have something to say about that.This will be the first World Cup in eight years, which just goes to show how insignifican

It's Top 5 time again, and this week we thought we'd continue along the lines of Rugby vs. American Football.We know this will probably create some controversy, but we want to give you our Top 5 reasons why we think rugby and rugby league beat American football - hands down.Of course, that may not be the case at all - but this is what we think, based on the research we've done on the topic lately.
Greig Muir, Nerine Pienaar, Francois Pienaar and Bruce Gardner(Grant Norval)Summerhill is blessed in its visitations by famous names, and as celebrated as any among our friends is Francois Pienaar, captain of the 1995 World Cup winning Springbok rugby team who famously donated his No.6 rugby jersey to Nelson Mandela on that historic occasion. Francois first came to Summerhill courtesy of a
The next installment in the series is a fairly lengthy clip - about 8 minutes - but, if you're interested in this debate, it's very much worth the watch.It's American football vs. rugby from a scientific perspective, and measures tackles from both a rugby player and a padded American football player.The conclusion they come to is certainly interesting, but we're not sure that we entirely agree. W
Part 4, and this clip is a mix of American football and rugby - a great way (we think) to compare the sports side-by-side.So - which one is rougher?You be the judge.
Part 3 of our American Football vs Rugby section has two more videos for your viewing pleasure.There's another video with yet more examples of the apparent 'softness' of rugby (ha, yeah right...), which we hope will show all you Americans that tackles in rugby hurt.They really, really hurt.
In our first post on this subject, we explained why we won't be taking a side in this debate.We told you we don't know enough about American Football, but that we know (too much, probably...) about rugby.And that means, we can at least tell you American Football supporters our side of the story.We want to show you that, contrary to popular belief (outside the main rugby playing nations, anyway), r
One of the hot topics in the Attic lately has been the American Football vs. Rugby debate.It was our original intention to enter the debate, but we've talked about it (and researched it, too) at length - and we're not sure we're in a position to do that.See, we've never played American Football. So can we comment on how 'tough' or 'rough' it is? Or isn't?We don't think so.We've read so much on t

If the Super 14 and the opening Tri Nations games are anything to go by, then you would have to say that the Experimental Law Variations, or ELVs, have been a great success.The games are being played at a good pace, with a lot less stoppage time.

New Delhi, June 14 (IANS) Talented actor Rahul Bose simply loves playing rugby - so much so that he doesn't mind the broken fingers and nose that he suffers during tournaments.

The Crusaders bounced back from last week's defeat to the Highlanders in the first Semi final of the 2008 Super 14 beating the Hurricanes by 33 points to 22. The result means that the 2008 Super 14 final will be held at the AMI Stadium in Christchurch and that means home advantage for the Crusaders.

Al Millennium Stadium finisce 16-13 per gli irlandesi, al secondo successo nel trofeo continentale. O'Gara non sbaglia niente, il francese Pelouse sì: un giallo inutile e un'infrazione al 25' condannano Perugini e compagni.
The Waratahs won their way into their second Super 14 final with a four-tries to one victory over the error-strewn Sharks. The Sharks lost last year's final by a point to the Bulls but they hardly featured against the well-drilled Waratahs, who dominated the breakdowns with intimidating defence and stole five lineouts from the Sharks.
