You use the word might a lot. A player who has contributed more to Australian rugby might be better. As for the conditions, we tour there every year and in relation to RWC, the two that have been in the UK in the past, we have won both. Mumm may have evolved because players do that as there...

Rugby Jerseys look shittier by the year.

More than happy to when he is gone but the sad reality is that he is still there. Got to keep the pressure up if you want him gone.

I know what you mean. Kerr-Barlow is from our humble little club in Darwin and we are more than happy to tell the world he is one of us.

Take the QC (Quade Cooper) element out and it is still blood that needs to be spilled. The teflon force field needs to be removed from this lot. These worms have turned Reds Rugby into compost.

Would love to see a in house trial played. See if some of the selections stack up.

I couldn't agree more. Frankly it really stinks.

Simmons plays both sides well. Look back at the Reds this year and you will be surprised to see him packing behind the TH and Horwill the Loose.

I recon Canes fans must be shitting bricks. Their side has been fantastic all year but this Clan side just hangs in there and they have what it takes to get the job done. I'm backing the Clan as I have a soft spot for them.

Cooper's pass and footwork puts him into that list.

Kearns baffles me. He would be an absolute treasure chest of knowledge about the game on and off the field but doesn't use it in his call. Enlighten the masses Phil.

I don't think Kerevi is ready for test rugby. As Kerevi evolves as a player, the one he needs to mould himself off and study is Ma Nonu. He has that same low set big frame and runs similar lines but needs to develop that distributing game Nonu has. Nonu didn't have that in his earlier days...

Wallabies need to start any test with the best set piece available to them. We have the cattle in the backs to tear opponents a new arsehole if we can play from a strong set piece. The time and space that fist phase offers could be a big advantage to us.

Simmons is in and I don't think anybody argues that. The conundrum is that Skelton is the form lock but Horwill is the second best lineout lock in Australia. Horwill is down on form but that lineout skill is so crucial to test rugby. Arnold and Colman have shown the promise to have what it takes.

Putting the man love aside and the fetish for size (surely which was debunked last night), we need to ask if his selection is worth the balance issues it creates in the pack selection? I think Skelton has had a bloody good year and full credit to him but the question still lingers and it isn't...

How good was Nasi Manu last night? I think that is the best I have seen him play. In everything with plenty of grunt. He reminded me of watching Kefu last night.

Foley had a bad game. Lynching him for that is just dumb. I am more interested in why he had a bad game? Was it a coincidence or did he struggle in a single play maker setup? Beale and himself have rotated that first receiver role all season and last season might I add.

Plenty was made about the size of the Tahs pack but as I said earlier, the clan pack never get bitched. Plenty of talk about the Tahs wearing the Clan down but the Clan are the fittest side in the comp. When you look at the Clan analytically, they are actually a side with very few weaknesses...

What a fucking joke. How far down do these idiots need to drive Reds rugby down to wake up to themselves. Sadly I don't think they will get it until next season when crowds and memberships plummet. Bennett is back at the Broncos and they are doing well. They will return to dominating the...

Interesting contest especially at the breakdown. Brumbies will need to slow it down and play off their better set piece wile the Canes will look to do the exact opposite. Wide and open is where they will have significant advantage.
