i don't see how mogg and cooper relate to the selection of a blindside, a direct running 12/13 and a prop

with only two possible outside centres, I think we will see another centre called in among the 6 (not sure who this will be given mccabe is injured) we will obviously see a 9 (burgess or white) and i think we will see either a full back or a 10 (QC (Quade Cooper) is my pick to come in) wingers - ioane...

you can't be surprised with cooper, surely. that was foreseen from ages ago. douglas was interesting, but i don't think it is as surprising as you note. horwill was the only guaranteed second row and it was discussed on here that it was between simmons, timani and douglas for the next spots. i...

depends on if toulouse win or lose their top 14 semi final. he could be back in two weeks time - so start of May which would give him two games for the rebels.

sounds very much to me like burgess will be the back up 9 if healthy.

30 minutes - we can probably stop speculating on who will be in and just wait a few minutes and find out.

Have you lost your mind that you think Ant is actually someone to consider fo the wallabies?? So sick of this parochial selection bias. Hey Inman should start 13 over AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). Bore off. Ant is behind lilo McCabe, Horne, tap,cummins,Barnes, Godwin and I will say Inman for either 12 or 13. Ant is...

He's not. But in JOCs absence he was solid and did his job. He is 20 I think and has a lot of upside. A solid start for him. Situati and particularly English look very good.

Bore off. The only angles available are those the networks film. So did all 5 camera men anticipate a potential knock on that they should position themselves to miss? This is petty and pathetic. If u were there live and saw a knock on u have a gripe. But no angle shows one. Move on and grow up...

As in all sports, the networks film the game and all angles are made available to the TMO. No angle shows a knock on. Did the stormer lose it in contact? Higgers knock it or did the stormer just drop it. Can't tell and if u can't see a knock on u can't call one. Suggesting anything else is...

props: Robinson, Slipper, Alexander, Kepu hookers: TPN Moore second row: Horwill, Douglas, Simmons/Timani Open side: Gill, Hooper (yet to see any indication that smith is eligible so as far as i am concerned, he isn't) eight & blindside: Palu, Higgers, Mowen (i dont get this MMM love. he was...

i think he will want 'redemption' and to prove he can do it and will also want another shot at a world cup. i think he will stay in rugby, but he will have to accept that after these past couple transgressions his dollar value is down across both codes. he won't get the same money if people now...

if we play to our strategy, our defense holds up and we keep getting the ball away from their forwards, we are a chance. they were the same team last year and we nearly beat them after all. it will be tough for our backs though. defense will be very very key (as if it ever is not)

surely NSW and corporate supporters can come up with the Bling bling to keep him? how about the ARU, noting it is cash strapped, relaxes the third party payment rules. based on benji marshall's salary, you'd have to assume rugby needs to find an extra $100-$150K per annum to keep issy. lot...

Genia - QC (Quade Cooper) - Speight - Folau - AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) - JOC (James O'Connor) - Beale with White, Tomane and Mogg on the bench sorry off topic.

i've said it many times before, i reckon he'd make a great 13 and putting him at 12 gets him part way there.

exactly - we are up agains the most brutal D in the comp. one injury and we're done. we will have to play very quick ball and get it wide and have our forwards roving in pods to maintain quick ball. anywhere near their forwards and it'll be a tough ask.

if so we are done. too much class in the stormer backline

surely we are going to be going hard at rob horne? JOC (James O'Connor) - Vuna - Horne - Inman - English - Woodward starts to look pretty good.

agree. mitchell was stronger last year but has fallen off a bit. when and if both beale and JOC (James O'Connor) come back, i really would like to see beale to JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 and 12. alternatively i think english could be a good fit. eitherway, i would prefer if we stopped recruting loose forwards and did something...
