But put others at risk.

Try catching up with Nutta's articles on the front page of this very site. He has being playing prop for the past 100 years and knows more about scrums than any of the 'experts' rolled out on tv.

Kudos to Tom Wright for being out there this evening with a load of lollies for all the kids celebrating Halloween.

Agreed. I have no doubt that the Wallabies infringe but I would be equally confident every team does so. Of coure, a referee will let it go in mid-field but crack down on it in the red zone along with every other offence, petty or serious, they can then think they see.

Shouldn't stop the Brumbies having an interest if he's available for 2026.

RR very close to my predicted team. I'd change the Locks around and have 4, Frost and 5, Swain starting with Williams on the bench.

The Reds have lost quite a few, but they did have a loaded roster in 2025 accounting for the more than a couple of surplus Rebels who went their way. The difference right now, is that other franchises including the Reds are recruiting where they need to, (although the Reds seem to have an issue...

The thought of Dre Pakeho making the Wallabies, say in 2027, must also introduce the possibility of Malakye Enasio competing for the No 12 spot at about the same time. In the U20s world championship drubbing of England this year, Enasio played 12 with Pakeho at 13. Enasio was far and away the...

Anderson and Wilcox haven't been announced and maybe are yet to sign. On top of those, Ieli who doesn't yet appear on the list has not been announced. Important that Schoupp (if fit or likely to be), Thorn, Saumaisue and Ieli are signed up. Don't know what the go is with Andy Muirhead who has...

That was the whole point of the discussion Tom. Some were discussing possible additions to the roster and Adam came in with his wholly unlikely claim that the Brumbies had a bigger squad than others.

Adam, 6 of those listed have yet to sign on for 2026, so right now it is a squad of 28. That includes both Wright and Ikitau. Wright is proba ly out for the season irrespective of his contract status. All the reports about Ikitau say he'll be back for TRC next year, not suggesting he'll play any...

DCT I like your summaries of Aussies in action, but wonder if the assessments are yours or are you conveying the comments of journalists/commentators over there? The reason I ask, is that in another report it claims Fainga'a left the field to a standing ovation. Not what I'd expect from an...

It'd be good to get some official clarification of the working arrangements. The announcement of Joe Roff's appointment as Chairman of the new Board contained the following excerpts : "Roff, who completed his two-year appointment as Rugby Australia President at April’s Annual General Meeting...

Straight to the Tahs is my guess.

Backrow is pretty healthy with Valetini, Cale, Reimer, Scott, Tualima and Saumaisue. Not sure we'd need another. Some good young locks coming through; McPherson and Cordukes but another with experience to back up Frost, Shaw and Neville might not go astray. Hendren and Ramm would be good gets...
