Agreed. HMP has a better shot than Meredith and hes not picking him either

Scrum will be interesting. They struggled against Scotland apparently, and we had their measure pretty easily.

I could seem him at the Reds as a utility player. He could be quite handy at centre or fullback. Both areas of concern. The way the reds looked after his brother may also appeal. Mason seemed to love the Reds team/culture in his short time.

Hmm it was around his hammies. He seemed spooked because he was getting tightness. I think he’s been right to go because he’s been doing opposing training at the wallabies. But I reckon he’d just had Noah and donno ahead of him.

Finger injury was the latest I had heard. But I reckon he’d be right atm.

I think JOC (James O'Connor) makes sense to bring in mainly as a guy that has worked with a lot of the reds and Lynagh in particular.

This conversation went dark quick so pretty glad tbh. Not the biggest fan of Noah but it sucks that this is the way he bows out of Aus rugby (for now) and just overall a fuckin scary injury really.

Hmm I’d be tempted to leave donno on the bench for his ability to cover 15. Fuck it we’re probably gonna lose now so I’d throw lynagh in there to start. He’s 22, but what a storyline to drive up interest. And I know exactly what I’m gonna get from him. Basic backline organisation, a long boot...

Man come on. A lot of people had a crack at him, including me around his comments around leaving Aus. But ffs nobody actually wanted to see him succumb to serious injury.

I’m grateful Schmidt gave lynagh a few caps last year. In hindsight I wish he’d managed to get more! First test in Brisbane. He should be comfortable playing at Suncorp.

Yeah all you need to do is watch our failed lineout in the first stages of the game to realise how shithouse our prep must have been.

Also, maybe spiral passing the ball would be a good option.

I agree with you. We’re all just impatient and frustrated. And rightly so. Prop department I think we should be sweet in the long term. If we can stop losing them at 16/17 or at least get them back when they’re 21/22. Flyhalf requires a lot of patience and the kids need time on the park but...

It feels like how the draft operates in the afl. There will be a few stand out stars but not all will kick on. Every now and again there’s what’s known as “super drafts” where heaps of guns come out of a particular age group. The equivalent in aus rugby is the junior group McReight captained. Or...

Cousin of Hasani yeah? Any word of whether he’s off to France?
