Just hung out, chatted about the Super 15 season, the Reds team and Twitter.  No biggie.

Last night was the night of the big Super 15 Final between the Reds and the Crusaders.  Although it’s the third sporting final I’ve had the good fortune to watch this year, it didn’t make me any less nervous on the day.  Probably the best idea that afternoon was when Dom suggested we go kick the ball around in the ...

It is all about the Grand Final this weekend. It doesn’t get any bigger or better in club rugby than the Reds versus the Crusaders.  The two teams are packed with stars at the peak of their game and this is definitely a dream match for the inaugural Super 15 final. The Crusaders have won seven grand finals in the ...

I am just a little bit hyped for the Super 15 Grand Final on Saturday against the Crusaders. Just a little.

The last time I blogged about the Reds, it was Round 16 of the competition where they rather unexpectedly lost to the unfancied Brumbies.  Since then, the team have bounced back and won two away games against the Force and the Chiefs to secure the top spot in the competition and make their first finals appearance in a decade.  It ...

After enduring a tough sequence of games against the competition’s best teams such as the Blues, Crusaders and the Stormers, it was a bit of welcome relief to have a home fixture against the out of form Brumbies.  The once mighty Brumbies, the only Australian team to actually win a Super Rugby competition, have been out of form this season ...

Last season, when the Reds unexpectedly beat the Crusaders 41-20 at Suncorp, it marked the turning point for the side in their transition from being the competition whipping boys to genuine title contenders.  Last season’s efforts eventually petered out towards the end of the competition with the club finishing fifth, one position away from qualification for Finals Football in the ...

NB: After blogging about a 30 round A-League season over the past seven months, I’m feeling a little bit drained writing about The SportsWebsite all the time so I’ve decided to cut back on the Super 15 blog to just the Reds’ home games. The Queensland Reds were a revelation in the 2010 Super 14 after coach Ewen McKenzie re-invented ...

The inaugural Super 15 season got underway this season.  It is the first time this competition involving teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa has had 15 teams, with the Melbourne Rebels being the latest franchise to join the league.  It has also prompted the league organizers to radicalize the format of the competition.  In previous years, the teams ...

Looking back on 2010, here’s an assortment of topics off the top of my head that stood out as being worthy highlights or forgettable lowlights for the year. The Best of the Year The iPad I picked up an iPad at launch when it came out in May this year and am still absolutely in love with it.  It’s simple ...
