Played No 13 for nsw U19s and was very good. However, best No 13 in U20s was Malakye Enasio at the Brumbies, and he's on the bench tomorrow. They could end up going toe to toe again.

Right Dru, I hear what you say, but I wonder about the reference to "on paper ". If it doesn't imply the reality is weaker, why even say it. That is my question.

What exactly does that mean Yoda? Are you suggesting they aren't as strong as the team list seems? Or are you thinking the Force will beat them regardless of team strength? It is a rather vague comment.

Hey Rudderless, any news on the team for the Runners? I imagine the likes of Ieli, Bowron, Neville, Lachlan Hooper, Condon, Saumasue, Thorn, Anderson, Pritchard and Wilcox will be there if available. The remainder probably coming out of last year's U19s/20s who might be training with the main squad.

Hey, we had that scenario last time around with Cheika. He had an understanding that if he won the 2019 (?) RWC, then he could elect to stay on. In the event, he didn't win but he had to be dragged out of the job. IIRC he was intent on staying on til he called it a day himself.

Not sure how widespread it is, or not, but Ineos has been a huge sponsor of a British-based world cycling team for Yonks. Have always had the reputation of being the largest sponsor in the sport.

Yeah, Reimer v Tizzano should be a good contest. Either one could make the decisive play in the last few minutes. I do think the Brumbies should have the wood on the Force at set piece, and the backline looks to have a lot more fire power as well. I expect the Brumbies to have more penetration...

Some very good Locks on display this game. Current Wallabies in Frost and Williams, Swain returning to his old hunting grounds and Hooper coming off a similar non-stop effort to de Crespigny's against the Drua. Surprised me that Neville didn't make the bench for the Brums as he also had a strong...

Meredith at 10 and Sapsford at 12. If it gels and causes immense havoc among the Forcies, then I will gladly take the plaudits for calling for it to happen over the past 12 months. If it doesn't work, then hopefully the rest of the Brumbies are on song enough to win the game. Go Brumbies.

Out with concussion or just a mandatory rest? I know he is listed among the injured, but either way it achieves a goal.

What it does (or should do) is put them on the same level. One ought to not be favoured simply because he has background with the current but soon to be departed national coach.

And impressive self belief.

Whole team played with commitment which kept them in the game but Reimer won it single-handedly with 2 or 3 turnovers and two tries in the last 10 minutes.

Fantastic result against big odds. Go Brumbies.

Fucked up again. C'mon Bernie grow some balls.
