  • Nick Champion de Crespigny, Wallabies squad vs Fiji, British and Irish Lions

    1 week ago | nine.com.au | Sam Worthington

    One of those sharp shouldered blokes you definitely want on your side. That is the skinny on new Wallabies backrower Nick Champion de Crespigny, the closest thing to a bolter in Joe Schmidt's squad to play Fiji on July 6. The 28-year-old from the Western Force is one of only two uncapped players - along with ACT Brumbies winger Corey Toole - in a largely predictable 36-man group that will now fight for coveted Test spots against the British and Irish Lions.

    Wallabies great Michael Hooper has urged Joe Schmidt to not forget about the 'Ice Man' Bernard Foley ahead of the pressure packed British and Irish Lions tour.

  • Head clash rules star out of Super Rugby final

    1 week ago | nine.com.au | Sam Worthington

    The return from injury of Tamaiti Williams has been offset by the loss of Chay Fihaki as the Crusaders named their team for Saturday's Super Rugby Pacific final. There were fears Williams, the 142kg All Blacks prop, would miss the decider after a knee injury ruled him out of the 21-14 semi-final win over the Blues. He was on crutches after the qualifying win over the Reds but got through training this week and replaces George Bower as the starting loosehead.
