By interesting, I think you mean embarrassing.

Brumbies have a spare backrow contract now with Vaea out for the season?

That's a pretty solid Wallaby pack there. Throw in having guys like Ryan, Chapman, Turner etc on the bench and it's a good side on paper.

Really hoping Speight get's a look in for the Wallabies this year. Always beats the man and knows how to score a try or eight.

Simmons was a waste of space last night. Reds' set piece was horrible and he was partly to blame, not to mention the sloppy play and niggle that he decided was necessary at every ruck. I'd play AWH starting with Horwill if fit. Hanson over Faainga.

Only changes I can see for the Brumbies is Tomane in for Speight with Kudriani slipping into the bench. This is on the assumption that Speight's out with the rib injury. Rebs should be worried, I don't think they've got much of a chance winning this one.

Awful, he really has come into his own and I thought he would make his way into a Wallaby jersey over the next couple of seasons, especially with Palu heading off. Wonder why the Brumbies haven't signed a short-term cover? They've known about it for ages it appears, should've grabbed Chapo...

Disappointing to read some of the comments around halfbacks for next year. I'm a huge fan of Nic White and he's someone I'd hope we'd be keen on keeping vs. picking up Burgess. In fact all three halfbacks on the books for the brumbies are good players, I'd like to think the focus was retaining...

BJ any word on Ita Vaea?

I didn't think To'omua played badly last year at all though? He wasn't around for long, but he was playing well before the injury. It's not a bad problem to have. When you look at the team sheets for the Reds and Brumbies the first thing that comes to mind is not just the depth, but the...

Sounds like Tomane is out as well, niggle injury. Is it related to the injury he had last year?

Who's out for the trials BJ? White/McCabe only?

Surely it'd be more along the lines of McKibbin, Barnes, Turner, Horne, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mitchell and Foley? Hart, Carter and Folau on the bench?

Good point, kinda forgot about that. So who fills his place? Matty To'omua to 10 and Lilo to 12? Robbie Coleman to 12? Or do they play Rathbone/Tevita/Smith in the centres as a replacement for McCabe?

It'll be interesting to see the 15 that gets on the field for that match.8. My guess.. 1. Benny A 2. Stephen M 3. Dan P 4. Sam C 5. Scotty F 6. Benny M 7. David P 8. Fotu A 9. Nic W 10. Christian L 11. Joe T 12. Pat Mc 13. Andrew S 14. Henry S 15. Jesse M 16. Siliva S 17. Rory M 18. Peter...

You've gotta be kidding me. Phipps for maybe the worst half back ever fielded in the history of the Wallabies?

How good is it to see those two out of a moon boot and into a brumbies jersey. Feb couldn't come any sooner!

I'd also argue that for what Burgo lacked in passing capability, he somewhat made up for in his running game and defense. With the exception of the assist in Cummins try against England, I haven't seen Phipps create anywhere near the opportunities Burgo did in the gold jersey. Whether that's...

McKibbin has been called up and is on his way to Cardiff.

Oh and for those that haven't seen: 1. Robinson 2. TPN 3. Alexander 4. Sita 5. Sharpe 6. Dennis 7. Hooper 8. Palu 9. Phipps 10. Beale 11. Badger 12. Taps 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Digby 15. Barnes Bench: Slipper, Moore, Kepu, Samo, Gill, Sheehan, Harris, Mitchell
