I'd put O'Connor there. Still provides a counter attacking threat, can come into the line as a 2nd five when needed. Linked well with Mitchell and Beale when he played on the wing. I'd play McCabe at 12 and Inman at 13. Ioane and Mitchell on wings. Quade on bench with Mogg.

I'd love to see this: 1. Benn Robinson - No one really comes close to his mobility, scrummaging and step 2. Stephen Moore (vc) - Best in the country and one of the best in the world 3. Dan Palmer - Scrummaging is great and work rate is picking up 4. James Horwill (c) - Getting back to his best...

Cya, Quade.

And then throw those notes out, realising that unless they have Bryce next week it's unlikely the game will be officiated in such an appalling way.

Any word on when Silvia Silvia is returning? Hegs has definitely benefited form the additional game time this season, but I'm keen to see Silvia in action. He was impressive in the U20 games I saw him in.

Surely minutes played is relevant as well? Not to mention that Barnes has played a large part of his career as a 10, rather than a 12.

campaign [with the Brumbies]. "The bottom line is I'm very focused on making sure this is a successful season for the Brumbies." Read more...

You're kidding, right? 'Fano has it all over Sidey...a journeyman hack of a super player. Speight and Cummins would be almost even going on late Super form from last year. Stanley has it over Smith, who's never impressed in Brumbies colours. Both White an Prior have it over thir Force counterparts.

Either way it's a big fuck you to the ARU. As far as I'm concerned McCall, Carmichael and McKenzie have done more for Australian rugby in the last 12 months than McGrath, Deans and O'Neil have done in the last 4 years.

Such soft hands. Flyhalf skills. The man could play anywhere.

Would love to see: Hookers: Stephen Moore, Tatafu Polota-Nau Props: Sekope Kepu, Ben Alexander, James Slipper, Salesi Ma'afu Locks: James Horwill (c), Nathan Sharpe, Rob Simmons Loose Forwards: David Pocock, Beau Robinson, Scott Higginbotham, Ita Vaea, Dave Dennis, Ben McCalman Scrumhalves...

While that was fun to watch, I just remembered that guy is our fullback. He's probably gonna stay there. Got any other candidates?

The search for a new flyhalf begins!

As far as I'm concerned the All Blacks can have Matt Todd training with the squad, hanging out in the hotel, learning game plans...hell even getting a blood transfusion with Richie McCaw. All this proves to me is that New Zealand are starting to believe what the majority of the people in this...

Unfortunately Burger won't be the last...you've still got both of the Plesis brothers (although Jannie definitely plays dirtier than Bismark) and there's sure to be a long line after that. It's not the first time an unsettled Burger had to result to playing dirty when getting completely...

Uh...what? If this is true, it's going to be one hell of a fuck up for the Brumbies with a future that was looking bright.

How's your hangover Timmsy?

As it's been said already, it's interesting with Barnes at 15 because it deploys a similar defense game plan to that of the reds this year. This would allow Digby to counterattack with Cooper and JOC (James O'Connor), while Barnes moves up into the 10 channel. I think you get more with Barnes being there as...

If I remember correctly, I thought Bruce had mentioned that Nathan Trist wasn't intent on playing Super Rugby due to him finishing his medical degree? Interesting change of circumstances if that's the case.

So if Growden's article is correct, with Kurtley potentially being out for the game against Russia...who exactly do we have to fill the wing/OC spot? Samo? Higginbotham? With McCabe, Fainga and Horne all out...there's no one left except for Phipps.
