Whats the deal with Mafi I thought he was on the way out anyway?

I'd pick Sio and Ryan over Kepu at the moment.

But he could still potentially turn out for Australia at the 2015 WC, provided he could do a Vickerman.

I'd love to hear how Terrace plans to deal with this situation. Is he there for an education in which case he can quit rugby and stay on at the school, or is he just a rugby commodity? I assume the lad in question is in a set of pretty extreme circumstances, otherwise how can a bloke just not...

My pie in the sky wallaby team at the moment is: 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Palmer 4. Horwill 5. Pyle/Douglas 6. MMM 7. Smith 8. Mowen 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Ioane 12. O'Connor 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Folau 15. Beale I think the team would either be totally unstoppable, or fall to pieces halfway through...

UJ is all hype at this stage. You havent missed out on a whole lot. Hope he proves me wrong but.

Yeah add me to the Folau on the wing camp. I wouldn't pick him over Digby or JOC (James O'Connor), but if I was picking the team I'd try and squeeze all 3 in.

Whilst your lot won't hire a foreign coach they have no problem with the odd fijian or samoan. Even if the blokes who play for the wallabies were not born here, they are still choosing the wallabies as their team for life. Its not like they can pick up and go play for another country next season.

Your opinion on the move? As a reds fan I'd be happy for the bloke if he got an international gig but to lose him to another super rugby team would be disappointing. I think he should have been made wallaby coach after the 2011 WC. It might have been too soon but at the time he was the best...

Harris would be totally the wrong player IMHO. You need someone who can pass and kick both directions out of hand. Lance could maybe be the man for the job, but like Harris, he is better at 12 or 15. At this stage it is hard to know. I would like to see Hegarty get a few chances as starting...

This x 1000. The rebels need a genuine flyhalf. If I was coaching Melbourne I'd sign up 3 or 4 young 10's and make them compete for the position. It was what they needed to do this year.

Brilliant articles of late Scott. You wouldn't look out of place as a rugby writer at news or fairfax. Better than some of the tripe they currently serve up.

Is there bad blood between Graham and O'Connor? I think the money is there but it might mean losing harris in a year or two. Regardless of if he ends up at 13,14 or 15 - without digby, morahan and possibly Fainga'a the reds are going to lack a bit in those positions so bringing in JOC (James O'Connor) is a...

Yeah it made me question if Jones is up to playing lock at this level. 6 may be his spot long term. I expect the addition of Fainga'a will bring a bit more graft to the rebels. What will make or break them however is if their new front rowers Sexton and Lahiff can play the uptempo tight game the...

He made a good fist of it when playing the 10 role, but I thought his best touches came when he was playing in the wider channel with a bit more space and less organised defence.

I think it is too close to the Aus conference trophy to hold any significance. What I would like to see is a trophy like the ranfury shield. Every game (or maybe just every home game) against australian opponents you contest for it. I think it would give a greater sense of who is top dog at...

I think he would slot in well at 13 in place of Fainga'a. Or maybe even 14 with Sautia at 13. Lance and Cooper have a good thing going with there 10/15 thing. No need to interrupt it. Genia Cooper Shipperly Tapuai O'Connor/CFS CFS/O'Connor Lance

I thought Pyle and Neville were huge, and I was very disappointed with Jones performance when he came on. Say what you will about the props but they don't call it a tight 5 for nothing and Jones binding in a lot of those scrums looked incredibly loose. Phipps was alright in broken play, but...

I'd go with a full strength team if I was link. Reds need to consolidate their mojo and really put a team to the sword.

I don't see what the problem with tackling low is. When did it become dangerous play?
