Hickory, N.C. – In a typical Aussie accent, Hayden Burgiel hails most with a typical Australian greeting, "G'Day mate." The new football season has just started and we see several new faces on the Lenoir-Rhyne roster. One that stands out more than others is the six-foot, 190-pound punter, Hayden Burgiel. The 38-year-old made history by stepping onto the field … Continue reading BEARS SPOTLIGHT: Lenoir-Rhyne Football’s 38-Year-Old Australian Punter

NZ suck it up, the better team won
Congratulations to the Lions on winning the second test and deservedly so. Yes, they might have freaked out for about 30 minutes, where they were very ill disciplined and made a lot of mistakes but when the pressure was on, they came to play. One thing New Zealand fans need to learn is to accept … Continue reading NZ suck it up, the better team won
Watch out All Blacks, the Lions haven’t roared yet
With so much talk about how the All Blacks will go on to thrash the Lions just as Team New Zealand did to Oracle Team USA in the America’s Cup, I think we might be getting ahead of ourselves. Why do I believe this? A number of reasons. Firstly, I think the key All Blacks … Continue reading Watch out All Blacks, the Lions haven’t roared yet
Lions Series: Where in for a cracker
Isn’t it nice for once going into a test series thinking we could actually lose rather than how much we will beat the opposition by? The one problem I have with world rugby currently is the All Blacks are so far ahead of the pack. It takes the All Blacks to be off their game … Continue reading Lions Series: Where in for a cracker
The Future Is Bright For The All Whites
What a difference a few days makes. After a poor performance against Russia, the All Whites came out fired up and put in a performance against Mexico, which was probably their best under the guidance of Anthony Hudson. Even though the All Whites didn’t get the result they wanted and probably deserved, there were a … Continue reading The Future Is Bright For The All Whites
Mike Venus

Only Onny Parun, who won the French Open men's doubles title in 1974 and Judy Chaloner, who won the Australian open women's doubles title in 1979 … Continue reading Mike Venus
British & Irish Lions Series
There is something about the Lions series that gets you intrigued. Get’s you excited and pumped to watch rugby. Yes, everyone is predicting the All Blacks to thump the Lions three nil but I’m not so sure. The Lions tour schedule is incredibly tough and as shown by the Provincial Barbarians last Saturday the standard … Continue reading British & Irish Lions Series
All Blacks 33 man squad for British and Irish Lions Series
With the 33-man All Blacks squad named for the Lions series named on Thursday, I thought I name the squad I would like to see and my starting 15. With lots of players under injury clouds, it’s likely Steve Hansen will name quite a few injury replacements. With the New Zealand super rugby sides dominating … Continue reading All Blacks 33 man squad for British and Irish Lions Series
