For a guy who has hardly put a foot wrong in over 100 test matches geez AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is still massively underrated. Outside of Folau he should be first picked in the backline

You raise very valid points, Im not opposed to seeing Giteau and Mitchell used in the Rugby championship to some degree as they do provide good experience within the squad and in their day were both world class, I just think the players playing in Aus deserve first crack. for the record my...

put them both on the end of a very good back line against not so good back line defenders (in france) is the argument

Super Rugby v Top 14 is hardly apples for apples. I think it pays to remember that JOC (James O'Connor) had a very impressive stint with toulon also... view video (plus defence) Particularly when you consider some of the players inside Mitchell feeding him quality ball. Giteau, halfpenny, bastareud, michalek...

Agree he was probably the best winger in world prior to those big injuries.

Mitchell would have to be at the longest odds of those mentioned. He wasnt play well at all when he left (lost a couple of yards of pace). Put JOC (James O'Connor), beale or any of the smokeys mentioned on the end of that Toulon backline in france and you would be getting back great reports too!

This would be my exact pack as well. great balance but also the most aggressive side we offer. Depending on opposition you could have palu in place of Jones with the option of shifting fardy to the 2nd row.

Well we saw quite alot of it in 2012 in wallably gold then he was injured for duration of 2013 and I believe had some really good impact and involvements in 2014,. as I suggested in original post form hasnt been great but I believe he offers more ability aggression wise then others. Palu at...

As muh as the form of some at super rugby level trumps him I believe Higgers should be the starting 8 with Palu his cover on the bench. Higgers offers the most of any Australian backrower (excluding the 7s). He has the ability/ aggression to be world class and Id be banking on him to come of age...

No high tackle just a good honest shot. Play on.

Probably most pleasing for tahs fans was the return to form of phipps. I believe he was a big key last year and he was back to his best last night. Kepu is having a strong season, Kearns is rarely on the money but he was probably on the money when he said the tags were doing it so easy in the...

When the above players from the 20s return.

not to polished a performance by the wicks despite the win. Most pleasing for me was the half back he is definately a welcome addition also the fullback looks handy and talaki up front. Horwitz good in first half , think he is best suited to 12. 1sts should feature deegan at 5/8 horwitz inside...

That was my interpretation as well

Izzy was very good tonight, those bagging him give yourself an uppercut. Phipps well below his last year form and then] disruptions in the tight five hurt the tahs. That being said the Rebels are the real deal, they will trouble more then a few. Like the look of the 10 Jack and there is mongrel...

not sure but thank fuck he did, for the tahs. That 2nd string front row (tilde,ryanm, latu) is the pits. I like Latu around the field but Id love a dollar for every time paddy ryan has had his arse handed to him

Vastly different style of player to Hoiles, who im not promoting as a replacement this year. Although you would hope he had more impact than Hoiles last year considering the comparable time which they played through the season? where did I suggest they wouldnt have won the final with him, I...

Yeah it was vs the Chiefs he had a stormer. He is a really good captain dnt get me wrong the point I'm making is should u carry him because of this? Whilst you see my comments as a huge exaggeration some may see yours "Hes the heart and soul of the team" as the same. Remember they won a super...

I objectively saw him miss a regulation one on one tackle that lead to a try and then turn over possesion of the ball 5 minutes later. Were u in the bathroom for that? I dont know the guy at all is nothing personal , I just dont rate him, he had no impact all year barrng one game last year and...

Obviously some pretty poor performances individually across the park as well as a unit from the tahs (excluding set piece). I probably could have been accused on harping on it a bit last year but can someone please make a case for Dave Dennis being a)skipper and b) in the match day 22. He was...
