TAB: The best bet in the All Blacks v Wallabies

The All Blacks take on Australia in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match in Sydney. The last meeting between the two sides saw the Wallabies win the dead rubber last year in Brisbane. Michael Chieka has had his squad together for several weeks and it's more of a question as to who he leaves out. Brodie Retallick will be making his first appearance in 12 months. David Pocock's return will pose problems for the All Black team. Jack Goodhue has looked like an All black centre all season long. Ben Smith has won the fullback berth over Jordie Barrett. Waisake Naholo can play on the right wing.

Where does Ian Foster's record as All Blacks coach leave him in the history books?

And so while Melbourne Storm mastermind Craig Bellamy - widely regarded as one of the most successful rugby league coaches of all-time - boasts a 69.2% winning record with his ultra-consistent club side, Ian Foster is anything but boasting about his almost identical rate while in charge of New Zealand's national rugby team. It is one thing coaching…

The five Australian players who could put a dent in Wales' Rugby World Cup hopes

Sunday's Test match between Wales and Australia in Lyon has been billed as a do-or-die clash for the Wallabies. If Wales come out on top Australia will bow out at the pool stage of the World Cup for the first time in their history. While a defeat would not be terminal for Warren Gatland's side it would still put Wales' chances of reaching the last…

All Blacks: Has Ian Foster named the right squad to win the Rugby World Cup in France?

Not that there were any complaints. There couldn't be. The players and coaches refrained from having a bleat, because to do so would have been like shoving a custard pie into their own faces. The most useful barometer of what had unfolded in the semi was the reaction of the disappointed Kiwi fans who piled into the trains that departed Yokohama…

Ian Foster hails All Blacks fighting win over Wallabies

DUNEDIN - All Blacks coach Ian Foster said their fightback to beat the Wallabies 23-20 in Dunedin on Saturday was "ugly" but showed they are on track to challenge for September's Rugby World Cup. New Zealand surged back from 17-3 down at half-time, snatching victory with a 79th-minute penalty goal from Richie Mo'unga to make it four Test wins from…

After falling to a disastrous defeat in front of almost 84000 fans at the MCG last weekend, the wounded Wallabies believe they can turn it around against a "beatable" All Blacks outfit.

Wallabies: Australia still rank outsiders despite mass All Blacks changes

Even after dropping a mammoth 12 players for Sunday's Bledisloe Cup return clash in Dunedin, the All Blacks remain unbackable favourites to topple the Wallabies who still have to "kick down" the door that has been opened for them. New Zealand has been about as unwelcoming as a touring Wallabies side would expect this week, training in rain and…

Dave Porecki waited nearly 30 years before his big opportunity, but he hopes the Wallabies will take only 80 minutes to show they are much better than their recent form. The compact hooker was a solid performer in the 38-7 loss to the All Blacks in Melbourne at the weekend. Some form of redemption in the second Bledisloe Cup test in Dunedin on…

It is not difficult to make the case that Ian Foster's All Blacks are on a hiding to nothing at the MCG on Saturday night as they wrap up the Rugby Championship with a match that should be, well, a walk in the park. The formline says the championship silverware, and Bledisloe Cup, should be comfortably tucked away at the end of 80 minutes between…
