It's about how much he can actually create. Kicking goals is one thing, but as a playmaker you need to actually create opportunities, and Pone Faumasilli has created more than To'omua all year.

Is that bragworthy?

Pone off, there goes the Rebels last linebreak chance, unless Lomani is still on.

Its a cripple fight. A good one, Timmah v Jimmy quality, which is always worth watching, but even the commentary team are doing their best 'just let them fight it out, they'll run out of energy eventually'

They're more likely to make a linebreak with those than giving it to the backs. This is dire

He has? I remember the Reds being well beaten until the Brumbies were down to their 5th choice prop, against Tupou, and they weren't in it until then. I'll give JOC (James O'Connor) credit for controlling the comeback and he did a superb job, but that's precisely why i'd include him in my 23, but have him coming...

Absolutely, at 12. To'omua ain't a 10, and he's behind Paisami and Simone at 12. Sorry, i've gotten ahead of myself, To'omua's been wonderful in setting up multiple tries for the Rebels tonight, against the FORCE, with 35mins of front foot dominant ball. Oh that's right, he's not set up...

JOC (James O'Connor) is on my bench. To'omua has been wonderful guiding his team to....have they won a game? He's not a test 10, and he's not beating Paisami or Simone into the 12 jersey atm.

I'll have a crack 1. Slips/Bell 2. Uhm...Fainga'a/?? BIg weakness here 3. Thor/AAA 4. Hosea 5. Neville 6. Valetini 7. Hooper 8. Wilson 9. White 10. Lolesio 11. Koirobete 12. Paisami 13. Ikitau/Petaia 14. Wright 15. Banks Tough on JOC (James O'Connor) and To'omua, but To'omua is a 12 in my eyes, he's always...

Jeez the Brumbies triage ward is full at the moment!

How many chances have they had? Samu has no more than 3-4 i think?

Jeez, Brumbie scrum is holding in there against this Reds pack!

Petaia has multiple caps, and is circle-jerked over by everyone in Australia, Ikitau is a nobody who enraged people with his mere inclusion as a bolter last year and is attempting to fill the shoes of Kuridrani. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) is a current, and long term Wallaby - Neville has.....has he played a test...

Oh dont get me wrong, that's not how I see the match up, but that's how Wallaby selectors seem to see it so I went with the most caps in each 1v1.

Going to be interesting this one. Brumbies at home is usually a gimme, but the Reds are strong, and have got a much better pack for this match up. Slipper and AAA missing, along with McInerny, takes out most of out front row. Fortunately, Fainga'a is back to go with Sio, but Thor is not...

Yup

Quite a casualty ward so far, could be a big problem against the Reds with AAA and Slipper missing against Tupou. When's Fainga'a back?

Push the opposition maul backwards, or stop it.

The Force will be pretty keen to remind people in Sydney they exist next week, I reckon. Might be another tough week...
