I think the big thing for Canham is probably what happens with wallaby caps this year. If he does get the call up it'll probably make him think twice about leaving for money alone, along with changing the proposition for foreign clubs interested in him. If he misses out he'll probably be on the...

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised they've kept him, would've thought it was only the tahs that really benefit and even then there's not much point holding onto someone that wants out.

Not a great sign when the captain wants out early

I imagine they're just working off the same list as rugby.com.au with the same error. FWIW the Rebels article specifically called out Strachan at 15:

Not on the Rebels team post though and he's not mentioned in the article. Those tend to be more accurate. https://melbournerebels.rugby/news/melbourne-rebels-look-to-fire-with-physicality-to-take-on-chiefs-2024515

Player tahs caps T Horton 26 J Williams 17 W Harris 41 C Tizzano 18 B Donaldson 40 K Beale 138 T Tauakipulu 4 M Wells 44 Total 328 I didn't do the full tah list but Swinton, Foketi, Gamble, Edmed, Nawaqanitawase, Perese and Sinclair gets it to 361 and past the Force...

Yeah, I think a game in Fiji is probably the worst time to risk niggling injuries or overworked players so it makes sense to rest them now and let them stay home. 2 games left in the regular season means they shouldn't be missing any continuity before the finals.

Aubrey is but Annan is not small - he may still have some growing to do but he's got at a listed height of 6'4 and weight somewhere between 95kg and 100kg. He's got 3 inches and at least 6kg on Flook who he's replacing.

FORCE (1-15): Harry Hoopert, Tom Horton, Santiago Medrano, Jeremy Williams (c), Izack Rodda, Will Harris, Carlo Tizzano, Reed Prinsep, Nic White, Ben Donaldson, Chase Tiatia, Hamish Stewart, Bayley Kuenzle, George Poolman, Kurtley Beale RESERVES: Feleti Kaitu’u, Marley Pearce, Tiaan Tauakipulu...

Reds have generally backed the maul this year over taking penalties, resulting in tougher conversions and fewer easy penalty shots. Rebels do also take fewer penalties, but that appears to be because of a lack of confidence in Gordon's kicking at least in part. Lynagh hasn't been shanking or...

I think Daugunu is a solid chance to feature in the 23 jersey, seen as a wing first covering 13. Either way I think he's looking pretty good for a place in the squad. There have been a few wing injuries recently reducing the options and I'm not convinced by Nawaqanitawase's form enough to pick...

I wouldn't be amazed to see Flook get a rest, with O'Connor and Paisami in the centres, particularly if Lynagh is back. He's taken a fair few hits recently and looked a bit ginger, particularly with the shoulder injury. It'd also be good to get O'Connor some good game time before the finals.

On recent form there's a reasonable chance of Wright and Kellaway on the wings with Campbell at the back. Jock still has a way to go there, but there's more season to run and he's been the form 15 the last couple of rounds for mine. It doesn't hurt that he's also the most natural and experienced...

Was very good for Brothers last year and I thought he might have been a shout for a super contract this year. Probably should've been called in earlier given his age and experience at this level.

It's the name of Neil Fissler's column for Rugbypass. He mostly writes about player transfer rumours for the UK/European teams: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/fissler-confidential-ulster-keen-on-nz-10-as-shark-departs-english-shores/

Ideally, though I'm not sure how regulation 9 works for a non test match within the test match window. Might be a limit to how much they can effectively take the piss there.

Wallabies have added a tour match against Bristol Bears to their EOYT:
