Japan Produces Good Halfbacks

I’m sure everyone remembers the infectious Brave Blossoms’ halfback Fumiaki Tanaka. The little general made his mark on Super Rugby for the Highlanders with his speed and crisp service from behind the ruck. He was not a university prospect, but joined the Panasonic Wild Knights in 2007, where he played alongside Tony Brown, who was instrumental in bringing him to the ‘Landers (Wikipedia). At…

Wallabies Bid Averacherchi to Joe with a Classy win in Perth

Having taken over a disjointed Wallabies side after the debacle that was RWC 2023 in France. That night in Lyon was tough as a Wallabies supporter; we were decimated 40-6 by the Welsh after coming off a 14-22 loss to Fiji. This was the team he inherited, but Kiwi Joe Schmidt has bled 27 fresh faces into this national team to build ahead of RWC 2027, where Les Kiss takes over. Being in the crowd…

Remembering One of the Greats

June is a sad month at Brisbanerugby as we are reminded of the passing of Wayne Keith Smith, one of the great rugby union scribes of our time. A great ambassador of St. Laurence’s College (SLOB 1970), Smith learnt his trade in the era of typewriters and landlines (Smithy was renowned for filing stories from public telephone boxes in suburban Brisbane, usually upon leaving a sporting venue). The…

Super Rugby Showdown: Reds Secure Bonus Point Against Drua

The last home game for the Queensland Reds saw them play an uptempo match against Fijian Drua. 15,623 turned up to Suncorp and were thoroughly entertained. A comfortable 21-12 lead at halftime was quickly gobbled up by the Drua with two tries in 8 minutes by Manasa Mataele to put them ahead 24-21. The Reds were reinvigorated to score 4 more tries for a bonus point 45-24 win, lifting them to 5th…

Aussie Gold Rush in Spain

Not since 2018 in Sydney have both our men’s and women’s Sevens teams won the HSBC 7s Round. This time in Valladolid, Spain, the penultimate round, ahead of Bordeaux next weekend, both our sides picked up Gold Medals. Beating the Top of the Table Blitzboks 26-19 shows a commitment our men’s team has been lacking. We’ve come to expect our women to do well, and their 27-14 win over the USA in the…

From TAS to AIC, St. Laurence's nemesis, Marist Brothers Ashgrove

[brisbanerugby]

Another Heartbreak at Ashgrove

For over 60 years, the rivalry between St. Laurence’s College and Marist Brothers Ashgrove has been intence. This afternoon was no exception going down 17-15. We opened the score with an excellent try on the left flank, only to see our 5-0 lead evaporate 5 minutes later to the Blue & Gold. It was the story of the day, leading for the large part of the match. With time almost up we defended…

Western Gale Force Another Blow for The Reds

The Western Force has handed the Reds another close loss three weeks in a row last night in Perth, 19-14. What more do the Queenslanders have to do to cement their spot in the top 6? Discarded Reds players in the west outmuscle their former side with another technical performance proving the Suncorp thrashing wasn’t a blip. Saint Laurence’s old boy, John Bryant, replacing Fraser McReight, bumbled…
