Defeat in Paris will complete a rare winless European tour and mean Joe Schmidt’s side finish 2025 as, statistically, the worst ever Wallabies As recently as August, the Wallabies humiliated rugby’s No 1 side, back-to-back world champions South Africa, in Johannesburg. They then smashed the pride of the northern hemisphere, the British &amp; Irish Lions, in Sydney. By going all-in and not settling for a draw with Argentina, they won that Test – and with it, a nation’s heart.“The Wallabies are back”, we proclaimed. And indeed they are – back in the doldrums. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2025/nov/22/wallabies-europe-tour-australia-rugby-union">Continue reading...</a>

يواجه فريق والابيز احتمال إنهاء جولتهم الأوروبية دون انتصارات، مما سيشكل أسوأ أداء في تاريخهم تحت قيادة المدرب جو شميت. بعد أداء قوي في وقت سابق من العام، بما في ذلك انتصارات على جنوب إفريقيا والأسود البريطانيين والإيرلنديين، عانى الفريق من صعوبات، وستؤكد هزيمة في باريس مسارهم السلبي.

Los Wallabies se enfrentan a la posibilidad de terminar su gira europea sin victorias, lo que marcaría el peor desempeño en su historia bajo el mando del entrenador Joe Schmidt. Después de un fuerte inicio de año, con victorias sobre Sudáfrica y los Lions británicos e irlandeses, el equipo ha tenido dificultades, y una derrota en París consolidaría su trayectoria negativa.

Les Wallabies risquent de terminer leur tournée européenne sans victoire, ce qui marquerait la pire performance de leur histoire sous l'entraîneur Joe Schmidt.

Wounded Wallabies on brink of unwanted 67-year record as French test awaits

There were enough sparks and signs of intent in Europe to suggest Australia are a team at the beginning of something, not the endAt the end of a frenetic first half, where Angus Bell ran in one of the great tries by a Wallaby prop, where Matt Faessler powered over for a brace, where Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored a solo stunner and Thomas Ramos and Nicolas Depoortère dotted down as well, Tane Edmed gathered a pass at first receiver.The young fly-half, playing in his seventh Test, was having a decent game. He’d slotted two of his three shots at goal. He was brave to the line, carrying with zip, stitching moves together as he tried to spark a backline short on fluency. But with the clock in the red, he attempted a raking kick to the corner. Either he didn’t realise the 40 minutes had elapsed, or he thought he was in his own half and a 50-22 was on. Either way, after watching the ball skid into touch to end the half, he stood still, hands on head, stunned by his own misread. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2025/nov/23/wallabies-fans-are-entitled-to-be-frustrated-but-its-not-all-grim-for-this-tired-talented-side">Continue reading...</a>

<ul><li>Ireland 13-24 South Africa</li><li>Home side have five players sent to sin-bin</li></ul>The IRFU may be disconnected from a chunk of their audience on the price of Test rugby at Lansdowne Road but at least those who paid up can claim to have witnessed a truly crazy event.In the 2013 Six Nations in Rome Ireland had their backline sundered by a freakish run of injuries, leaving holes being filled by men who didn’t know how to hold a shovel. But here, on a perfect night for rugby and with a game promising to develop into a gripping contest, we saw four players banished for crimes and misdemeanours in the first half alone.

Back in the fold after a broken arm, the veteran back has the high-ball skills to take the aerial tactic to another level It’s funny how things have come full circle for Elliot Daly. The first time he played a Test against Argentina he lasted barely five minutes before being shown a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/nov/26/england-argentina-autumn-internationals-match-report">red card for a misjudged tackle</a> on a still airborne opponent. And now, nine years on, to whom have England turned to help discomfort the Pumas aerially? None other than <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/nov/19/daly-and-slade-recalled-as-borthwick-shakes-up-england-for-argentina-test">wing commander Daly</a>.Much has changed, however, since that distant sending off at Twickenham in November 2016 on what was only his third start for England. Daly is now a vastly experienced international with 73 caps and the game also looks significantly different courtesy of the crackdown on “escorts” protecting the catcher, which has put an even greater emphasis on high-ball expertise. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/nov/20/england-elliot-daly-primed-argentina-autumn-nations-series-rugby-union">Continue reading...</a>
