The Wallabies have been written off year by year, game by game, for ages now. I get it. That disastrous 2023 World Cup campaign made both Australian fans – and those abroad – stop believing. However, quietly in the shadows, the Wallabies have been rebuilding, and when the Lions tour in July this year, I think we will be in for a closer series than you think.
Pickleball of rugby: Sevens is a money pit that devalues the sport - World Rugby should cut it loose

World Rugby funds the global game with World Cup largesse. One beneficiary is Sevens. The arrangement has not worked for rugby, now losing 24 million euros a year, keeping Sevens in an awkward posture of utter dependence, diluting global tastes for the real code, and not acting as the ‘gateway drug’ to rugby claimed by backers against all evidence. When rugby finds itself at the bottom of a hole, digging, the best thing is to stop digging.

French rugby legend Sebastien Chabal has revealed he can’t remember anything of his storied career, potentially due to the toll of concussions. Chabal, 47, played 62 times for France and starred for domestic clubs Bourgoin, Sale Sharks, Racing Metro and Lyon during his celebrated career. He now says he can’t remember any of his Tests, or even the birth of his daughter.

Former Brumbies and Springbok coach Jake White mused at a Bulls press conference he plans for around 2.5 injuries per match. If accurate, and White often is, five Aussies not much talked up for a match day 23 first up against the Lions may be big in the third Test. Who might they be? Outgoing Wallaby coach Joe Schmidt is a pick-and-stick man.

The scariest Bull bought me a beer. I’m all good now. https://t.co/2Lo34ukHIT
The jubilant Bulls far from home took the spoils by never really giving Munster much to work with; squeezing space, chasing at pace, and winning collisions. Set pieces weren’t the decider. Gainline made the difference. https://t.co/hym2wQ1A4T
Cameron Hanekom gets over the ball before the 68th minute to defuse a Munster attack in the middle of the pitch. At 13-all, that looked a vital intervention. But it’ll be up to Zac Burger + Keagan Johannes to manage the game now. KJ begins with a miss. Ag shame., https://t.co/em1XKCMPj1
