The first clash of this years Bledisloe Cup gets under way in Sydney tomorrow night, as old rivals Australia and New Zealand do battle in the first of three meetings that will decide who gets the Trans-Tasman bragging rights for the next year.

So with Tri Nations and Bledisloe Cup being the sole focus of world rugby right now, we've found this hilarious clip that was created by the lunatics at Pulp Sport, and thought now would be as good a time as any to share it. more...

Hard hitting former All Black Jerry Collins is known for being somewhat of an enforcer, and has over the years put in a few famous tackles that have more often than not left the opposition lying on the floor in a heap of dizziness and discomfort.

Back in the 2003 World Cup Semi Final, when Australia stunned New Zealand by knocking them out the tournament with a 22-10 victory, the ferocious number 8 sent Wallaby lock Nathan Sharpe into la la land temporarily, with a hit that had viewers around the world cringing. more...

Western Province have once again fallen at the hands of a so called 'minnow' of South Africa's Currie Cup, this time losing 38-32 in nice try thriller in Brakpan on the weekend. The Gauteng Falcons claimed the scalp of the boys from Cape Town to record a famous victory for a small union who were very much the underdogs in this one. more...

This very short clip comes from the after match celebrations a few months back, when Munster came out triumphant in the Heineken Cup Final against Toulouse.

Apparently this is how you thank your star flyhalf in Munster - with a face full of champagne.

We came across this clip and thought it was good for a laugh. O'Gara may disagree, but the jubilation of the win would have meant he probably forgot about it the next day. more...

When twenty year old Christian Cullen made his debut for the All Blacks back in 1996, few could have predicted what was to come from the young flyer.

The boy from Wellington scored a hatrick on debut, followed up by 4 tries against Scotland, the very next week. An amazing start to the career of a man who went on to regularly tear defences to pieces in his prime. more...

As South Africa struggled to create an attacking opportunity that would bring them back into the match against Australia on the weekend, Lote Tuqiri made sure that he was going to do what he could to halt their progress.

Tuqiri came in off his wing and timed the tackle perfectly, hitting Springbok center Jean De Villiers hard, causing the ball to be spilt and the turnover to the Aussies. more...

One player that provided a glimpse of excitement for disappointed South African fans in Perth on Saturday night was Tendai Mtawarira, affectionately known simply as, The Beast.

The Zimbabwean born prop from the Natal Sharks has come on in leaps and bounds since converting from a flank to the front row. He is now a standout performer whenever he wears that black jersey, and more recently, the green and gold of the Springboks. more...

The Wallabies won their fourth straight game under New Zealand coach Robbie Deans to open their Tri-Nations campaign with a 16-9 victory over South Africa in Perth on Saturday. Australia scored the only two tries of the match, with Berrick Barnes sealing the win in the final minute with a neat 25 meter drop goal. more...

As the Wallabies and the Springboks prepare to face off against each other in Perth on Saturday, we've pulled out a funny clip from their meeting at the same stadium, Subiaco, four years ago.

Cheeky George Gregan was playing his 100th test and felt on top of the world. After Schalk Burger gets clobbered by George Smith, who turns the ball over briliantly, he ends up on the wrong side of the ruck and gets a bit of shoe pie from Georgie. more...

As we saw earlier in the week with the big hits on Ross Skeate, giant killers Griquas pulled off a memorable win against the much fancied Western Province (Stormers in the Super 14) on the weekend in Kimberley.

The game ended 21-20 in favour of the home team, which came in part thanks to a kick of mammoth proportions from young fullback Riaan Viljoen. more...

This amusing and impressive clip is from earlier in the Guinness Premiership season, and is basically a nice example of the referee taking complete control of matters, and speaking to two of the hardest men in rugby as if they're disobedient little children.

Barnes, who notoriously took a lot of criticism after his handling of the 2007 World Cup Quarter Final between New Zealand and France, has done well to put that behind him and move on. more...

A defining moment in the recent Springbok victory over the All Blacks in Dunedin was possibly in the 11th minute of the match when New Zealand lock Ali Williams ran into South African brick wall Schalk Burger.

Burger, who some people think is half man and half metal has been referred to as anything from the more...

Western Province narrowly lost to Griquas in a tough Currie Cup encounter at Kimberley's Absa Park on Saturday. The game brought with it a number of crunching tackles, most of which would have had the boys from Cape Town missing the perfectly manicured green turf of Newlands.

Captain Ross Skeate, celebrating his 50th cap, got the warmest welcome of all more...

Young Western Force centre James O'Connor made history in this years Super 14, becoming the youngest ever player in the tournament. He's recently re-signed with the Force in Perth, and will continue to play in Australia for now. But, he has the unique option of choosing to play for either one of the Tri Nations teams – Australia, South Africa, or New Zealand. more...

The Springboks historic victory over the All Blacks in Dunedin on Saturday night has been marred by the three week suspension of hooker Bismarck Du Plessis, the replacement for injured captain John Smit.

Du Plessis, filling in for Smit, who will be sitting out the rest of the Tri Nations after being injured during the first test more...
