Remember When Australia was Good?
Aug 5th
The All Blacks are on a roll – but it hasn’t always gone our way. Before our egos over-inflate, let’s remember the bad times and use it as motivation to get even better before next years World Cup. This gem comes to us from 1994 and features one G. Gregan: Yes, he was the…
What Ever Happened To…. Ainslie Allan…. Take 2
Jul 19th
WIRB went to watch the All Blacks on Saturday night. It was in anticipation of watching home town hero Victor Vito. Instead in was pretty much all about Wellington’s favourite comeback kid Piri Weepu. He had an outstanding game. Prior to the match kicking off, the crowd was entertained by pyrotechnics, the haka and Ainslie…
