Ikitau has been a god send, good to see someone has locked down the 13 jersey for the RWC.

Just unfit

I don’t ever want to hear Mcreight should be selected ahead of Michael Hooper

This is garbage. You can't say Douglas is any better than Holloway, Sinclair or Hanigan. For his brother getting coach of the year, I think it was a pretty fair call. Newcastle were cellar dwellers last year to now winning half of their games and having a better win/ loss than Easts despite...

He would definitely be a good get. Both he and Sua'ali'i is the back line would be good. Sua'ali'i could certainly lock down FB.

I think Simone is a safety blanket for Foketi. He is a bit of an unknown quantity so need the coverage on the bench. Disappointed to see Leota gone, he bends the line pretty much every time he carries. But to be fair, I think we need to see Holloway given another start to see if he's up for it.

Then it would have to be AAA for Tupou.

McReight as long as he removes his dumb red/ white headgear.

Honestly, I don't see anyone other than Quade (Injured), Kerevi (Injured), Marika, Arnold and Skelton offering more than the guys we have on Aus soil. I think we reward them and select from within Aus.

Only change I think is White to the bench and McDermott to start. The only 3 captain options are Slipper, AAA or White. None of them play the full 80, so one of AAA or White will need to be on the bench to takeover captaincy duties.

Agreed. With the talent on the rise, pretty likely he heads overseas to earn more money.

With Quade gone, do we look to bring in another international? I don't even think any are significantly better than the guys in the current 23.

He definitely has the tools to do it, just need to fix his on/ off field discipline. He is a genuine threat over the ball and can provide some physically across the park.

Or we take another approach and put our best possible team on the park to give our side the best possible chance to win this test match.

With minimal opportunty within Australia to play rugby after the super rugby season, good to see some names popping up over in the Bunnings NPC. This will be great for their development. Names I have recognised so far: Connor Vest Jackson Pugh Isoa Nasilasila (Think he played for Southern...

Because he can be a monster around the park? I know he didn't do much at the end of last year, more time with the group would certainly help. Google is listing him at 140KG and Darcy Swain at 113KG, I am sure that extra 27KG would be helpful at scrum time.

Would certainly make up for Skelton's lineout woes.

I'm more worried about Lonergan, he has been dominated for the games he has played with the Wallabies.

Hoping for this- 1. Slipper 2. Porecki 3. Tupou 4. Phillip 5. Arnold 6. Holloway 7. Hooper 8. Valetini 9. White 10. Cooper 11. Korobeite 12. Paisami 13. Ikitau 14. Wright 15. Petaia 16. Fainga'a 17. Robertson 18. AAA 19. Frost 20. Samu 21. McDermott 22. Lolesio 23. Vunivalu Only risk is in...

Agreed with Vunivalu. But for Pone, are you dropping Tongan Thor or AAAAAAA?
