Wallabies star forward and current lynch pin Ben Robinson has vowed to step up his efforts for the Wallabies in 2009 after a bumper 2008 which saw him cement a regular spot for the green and gold.

The latest in a line of line Wallaby stars, Robinson bloomed under New Coach Robbie Deans who has, with the help of new recruits such a Robinson, turned the Wallaby forward pack into one of the most highly rated in the world – particularly after their success in Europe last year.

Robinson is part of a new wave, or breed, of big, athletic forwards that Australia has a knack of producing at the right times.

Fellow prop Ben Alexander stunned the Rugby world when he debuted against France in June last year having never played an entire first class match – he had only played a handful of games off the bench for Super 14 team the ACT Brumbies.

Alexander was given the huge task of filling in for Robinson in the rare matches he was rested, the hulking prop starting in an impressive twelve out of fourteen matches since his debut.

Robinson is also super eager to get back into the rigours and fast pace of the Super Fourteens as his team, the New South Wales Waratahs look to break an ongoing hoodoo by capturing the trophy over arch rivals the Crusaders.

He will have to play a leading role up front for the Waratahs this year for the first time as injured prop and club stalwart Matt Dunning will most likely remain on the sidelines for the rest of the season.

www.centrebet.com.au – As per usual, controversy has again flared up with Australian Cricket after Daniel Vettori openly labelled Australian wicket keeper Brad Haddin a cheat.

Slow motion replays show that Brad Haddin’s right glove, not the ball itself, removed the bails, prompting the dismissal of Batsman Neil Broom and breaking a vital partnership between he and Ross Taylor who was the eventual top scorer.

Vettori stated that it was clearly a deliberate act and that Haddin had blatantly cheated, appealing when he knew full well the ball had not made direct contact with the stumps.

Vettori is usually the last person to wade into a controversy but the New Zealand captain has one win under his belt and may have decided it’s no more Mr Nice Guy.

The Australian one day side looked very flat against the Kiwis in the first one dayer as a result of their demoralising four – one defeat at the hands of the South Africans.

It is quite possible that the Black Cap’s skipper senses an air of vulnerability around the Australian squad at the moment and has decided to try and make things even worse for the Australian.

In fact he was criticized during the two test series last year for not being spiteful enough towards the Australians in press conference and that it instilled a lack of confidence in his players.

This was clearly not the case on Sunday as a rather spritely New Zealand bowling attack dismissed Australia cheaply before struggling with the bat to post a three run victory of the very last ball of the match. Centrebet.com.au

Australia has locked in a block buster encounter with the Barbarians in June 2009 which promises to showcase some of the finest talent international summer has to offer.

BET NOW

In a deal brokered between the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) and key international Rugby bodies, the two teams will take to the pitch in June of this year at the Sydney Football Stadium.

The Wallabies have not graced the Sydney Football Stadium since they took on the New Zealand Maoris there in 2001, an entertaining match that saw the Wallabies run out victors 41 – 29.

The match up represents a great deal of excitement for Sydney siders and rugby fans all over Australia with the home of football in Australia re opening it’s gates in favour of the larger Stadium Australia at Homebush.

Neither side will be taking the encounter lightly either.

Although traditionally the match between the Wallabies and the Barbarians (a team made up of the best players from the rest of the world as selected by the International Rugby Union) will be an exhibition match primarily, there is no love lost between the two sides who will be eager to post a victory.

Although some players will be unable to front for the Barbarians due to international and club commitments, they have no shortage in their depth of talent and promise to field a team brimming with show stopping talent.

Interestingly, the Australians have won their last six encounters against the Ba – Bas and have won a total of seven of the ten matches played between the two sides.
