I too forgot about Kellaway, Smith and Stirzaker. Solves a lot of problems because they can wear 15, 3 and 21 vs the French BaaBaa's meaning most of our A team can be out of the 23. I also changed my mind and think if Hooper is to have his load managed then this is the week to do it. On the...

If Skelton is punished with a few weeks and sent home I will not complain.

Surely this Wallaby team needs to have it's priorities as - Win most matches possible - Take grand slam if possible - Player welfare/management - Build depth in that order. I do not necessarily buy the theory that it better prepares us for Ireland and England to rest all of our A team. Some...

That was highly stressful. It was a very tough game and Scotland played well, probably better than many thought they would and certainly MUCH better than Wales did last week. The Wallabies obviously had much the same intent as last week but Scotland put us under enough pressure that our error...

The Flying Shithouse (TFSH) and Morahan were both very good again for the BaaBaa's. Naiyaravoro outpointed Nadolo by a good margin and in particular seems to have picked up Nem's freakish one handed offload technique. Moroccan looked dangerous with every touch.

Gee it's good that Banks is a talented finisher with a solid kicking game and we're all getting along

Real shame if we've lost Banks. If you look at the squad make up the it seems like it must have been between him and Ngamanu for the last outside back EPS contract. Hopefully they've made the right call (personally I don't think so but I've been wrong before)

The only changes I would consider making for Scotland are Genia to 9, Phipps to Bench If Pocock is out with concussion Fardy comes in (I thought he was solid last game. Competed hard a breakdown, gave away an unlucky penalty where the Welshmen retreated rather than get belted so Fards fell over...

There is no way you guys shouldn't play big T. Having the big guy to threaten on the edge can turn half breaks on the edge into tries with the ability to stand in the tackle and offload (see what nadolo was doing for the Saders). Also having him come off his wing can be a useful option to hit in...

Sharpe used to call Higgers one of the worlds best jumpers when they played together. With his athleticism and natural footballing skills Higgers has the highest ceiling of any 8 prospect available to the wallabies from 2017 there is no doubt. Whether his mind (and 30 yr old body) will allow him...

First 3 played 7's at some point. Elder 2 play(ed) Super Rugby , Tom only 7's so far. Isaac reportedly the most talented of the lot

The reds offered him 3 years full squad deal as an 18 year old a few years ago when league, 7's and force/rebels were interested. Unsurprisingly he took the best deal. He has had a shoulder recon a while ago but still may not be fit in time for 10's

That is an absolutely mind boggling decision

My thoughts are that the presence of our extremely mobile and athletic front rowers on the park would actually put somewhere among the 3 or so favourites to win the thing. Frisby, DP and Quade sending balls to Tupou, Neville, Fa'Agase, Paraka will be something to watch as they are all very...

Dave McDuling and Pete Samu were both very useful in the ITM final on the weekend. Force should grab both if possible

That would also be a Loss for the Reds

Leaving Morahan at home and taking Koroibete amongst the official squad is a terrible look for Australian rugby. I get that the ARU would want to fast track his development and there is nothing wrong with that. Doesn't change the fact that Morahan played well for the Force in a struggling team...

I'm not a fan of taking Koroibete for Wallabies involvement. While it is technically within our rules and I know the Kiwis did it with SBW I'd rather see the guy play rugby first and help the Rebels win a few games. Guys that have put in the time in our game this year are more deserving...

ASY (Angus Scott-Young) is a solid player, needs significant development though. At least 1-2 more years of playing 2nd row in Prems and 6/8 in NRC

Just quietly...what if assistant(s) are coming from NRC but are coaching finals and the Reds are waiting till that's done. ...Simon Cron or Coleman for attack?
