"then" and "than", the new there, their, they're. Completely changes the meaning of the last sentence W.

Still, Joe will need to change the way he's been operating with squad and team selections. Waiting until one week before the game will not see any overseas players released on 1 July.

I am thinking there is a real YC/RC risk with Sua'ali'i. Hope it doesn't eventuate but as you say the tackle lines he's used to are likely to be carded in rugby.

Not sure but wouldn't be surprised if Nic White and Tomas Cubelli might have faced each other at some time.

Agree with everything you've said here Hawko. I am disappointed. But hopeful I will be proved wrong.

Yeah TSR, I really don't like that. Thirteen is reputably the hardest position in the backline to play. It is also one of the few spots where we have an internationally recognised player in good form. JS would be better served playing 12 where the backrowers are closer to cover for any errors...

Makes sense to me.

Forwards spot on. And I also agree with Donaldson at 10. He is a bit more physical than Noah and more likely to be able to combat the rush defence by England. Otherwise, in the backs, why choose Potter with no test experience and very limited Super Rugby experience over Pietsch who has played solidly in...

Why Skelton and Kerevi will start If we simply pick our RC side, we will get eaten alive by England. So what's to lose by playing some who might/will enhance some aspects of our performances. I expect both of Skelton and Kerevi to come into the starting lineup. Why Sua'ali'i will be on the...

Well, one thing we know for certain now is that Jets is not Corey Toole, despite the non de plume.

He played a couple of trial matches at 12 in his first season with the Brumbies and he looked to have all the skills. But I wouldn't be moving him from fullback any time soon.

Yeah, just how strong is the cohort of centres coming through atm. I would definitely place Grover and MacLachlan in that grouping as well. But they are all still behind some very good prospects from this year's U20s, esp McLeod and Pritchard. I personally don't get the admiration for King at...

Congratulations to the Brumbies U19 players and to Dan Hooper and the coaching group. Must have been most satisfying to bring the Reds' rolling maul under control after the shellacking the Reds gave them in the earlier match. But by neutralising the maul it left the Reds with almost nothing in...

Looked better, but the England bench was noticeably weaker than the starting side.

Didn't he miss the tour through injury?

I think the pace of the English in both defence and attack will prove to be too much for us. Contrary-wise, they did seem to waste a lot of time setting scrums and penalty goal shots. Clearly, no clock on those activities. Stewart owned Williams and will be more than a handful for...

Assume Stewart will come up from the Aus XV squad.

ABs again appeared to have problems with the rush defence but I do think England were leniently dealt with as far as offside at the breakdown was concerned. All in all Gus G had an ordinary game. England look far too strong for the Wallabies, I'm afraid, although there was a noticeable drop...

The word is that he's put on a bit of beef during his time off. Difficult to see how if he's had a shoulder injury, but that has been reported,

110kg - a bit of an overstatement SMI. Rory is about the same as Luke Reimer and smaller than Charlie Cale.
