Have to admit I did forget he was captain. Stranger things have happened though. I’m good with him staying there, I was more just curious if he was contemplating a move back, but I wonder what locks we are targeting otherwise.

We won our last test at the rwc v Portugal so officially it’s 3. For the record, I’m starting from this year as well

FTFY

Weather looks awful. Wallabies by 26

Ok. We have advance australia fair. If we get desperate we can call on waltzing Matilda. edit: I forgot about welcome to countries and smoking ceremonies. We have those.

He does. I didn’t factor that into my earlier prediction

I’m not that fussed who‘s feet it lays at, neither are there anymore thankfully. You are correct technically but I think it was announced, or at least rumoured, he was leaving well before that QF. I’d say there is a strong chance he wants to return to Sydney, if he wasn’t in the Wallabies he...

The poms are going to win this I reckon

I found out a bit more. Staniforth and a schoolmate Isaac Rumble - who was called into the U20s as injury cover during the RC, and has been playing 2nd row in 1st grade for Sydney uni as a 19 year old - are both heading to France together. Rumble is playing for Provence.

You are probably more right than me, I think he left during the season in 2022, probably a sign of the cumulative discontent at the Tahs. Neither coach achieved much.

I thought it was All Black-esque, until he got caught. Then it became Wallaby-esque.

2 perfectly placed kicks by Smith to the flanks under penalty advantage. The DMac equivalent went 10m into touch

Can’t argue with that. A victim of the Rob Penney talent ID program.

I doubt Angus has gone off to qualify for France, he would be a better shout to make the Wallabies eventually. I’d say more likely some family connections made some calls to organise an overdue gap year (or 2) for him. For reference, uncle Graydon played out his final pro years at Aurillac.

I think that for young players like Angus who are not quite good enough yet to get into a Super side, going overseas for 1-3 years to develop their game is a good thing. Caveat being that they come home though of course.

I see Jeremy Williams is currently a free agent - I wonder if the Tahs are trying to lure him home?

I am content with that resolution

I am working on the assumption that their agreement means one test a year will be in Victoria. Similar Perth, and they will always throw a saffer one there. Brisbane needs a drawcard test, so it got the other saffer one. At least one Bled is going to be in Syd, and there is only one on home...

Excuse my ignorance, the photos I saw had rob Leota and a few other rebels players front and centre so I feel a little justified in confusing the issue. Neighbouring suburbs Prahran and St Kilda don’t have the price either? OK, as you were. Ill leave it alone here, it wasn’t intended to be a...

Is that where they train out of? I wasn’t sure so I looked it up and saw the 2021 articles about the centre of excellence at La Trobe so thought they may have moved there by now. Anyways, Goschs Paddock looks pretty much on par with Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs
