Regardless of who Robbie selects the Wallabies are going to struggle unless they sort out their attack patterns (or lack of them) - here's why http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/wallaby-attack-patterns/

Anyone but Horne - well not anyone, but I think Barnes and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) should be the centres. But Robbie will go with Horne!

Braveheart, you jinxed McCabe - out for 6 weeks.

I'm a little confused. Does ... "It’s my role to set up a program that builds towards success. The coaching staff will be looking to promote an exciting brand of rugby that captures the imagination of our fans and wins games as well. To that end, we will be looking to recruit an attacking...

Tom Carter has re-signed with the Tahs for a final year. Cited opportunity to right the wrongs from this year, opportunity to play for the Tahs against Lions in 2013 and Sydney Uni's 150th year celebrations as reasons he decisded to stay.

Some room for different views with that team but overall think it's pretty good with one exception - Pocock over Hooper - it's not even close in my opinion.

Hawko - I think the forum backline you nominate is good but I don't think Mitchell's had enough game time yet. I'd switch Mitchell and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) between starting and bench. I hope Deans doesn't go conservative and select Barnes over Cooper at #10 because if he does, in my opinion, it will be another...

Here's a link to the G&GR career highlights video for Stirling Mortlock http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/stirling-mortlock-career-highlights/

Can it get any worse at the Force? I suppose they could appoint Eddie Jones as their coach so yes I suppose it could get worse! Hope they get something sorted out quickly for the sake of the players who must be very concerned about the immediate future.

All evidence to the contrary

Here's a link to my video preview of the game http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/video-preview-reds-v-sharks/

I've seen Lucas and Crawford announced as back replacements but what about the forwards. Is it confirmed that Mumm, Elsom, Tilse and Vickermann are the only forwards going? I've seen Hooper announced but who else is likely as replacements in the forward pack?

The boys all get a rest now after a gruelling pre-season, sorry I meant season as I forgot they took it a bit easier in the pre.

Who is this Becker bloke who plays for the Sharks? Must be injured or suspended because didn't make the 22 for this week.

Scoey - I like your criteria and the order but think number 6. General fitness is not a seperate criteria but applies to all of the first five. I don't think lock is a position where the criteria would change much from team to team. Priority with locks will always be 1 and 2. Numbers 6 and 8...

Higginbotham has clearly already been given this role as he has been at the Reds (otherwise if he was ignoring instructions he wouldn't continue to get picked). You can't play more than one player wide or you leave yourself short at the breakdown so no, I don't believe Timani could also have...

Statistics are only a very minor part of the equation in working out how any player is going, particularly when they are for one game only and include no breakdown statistics (which are extremely relevant for forwards). Statistics also don't show how effective the involvements were or the work...

It would have been nice to have Sam Wykes from the Force in the mix for lock. I thought he came on nicely last year. Hopefully he comes back well from his injury next year as we definitely need some depth.

You clearly need to watch the game more closely as your claims about Timani are laughable. Either that or you're a Troll?

Barbarian you must have watched different analysis to me and you must have been watching different Waratahs games to me in 2012. Timani is NOT up to international rugby but I have no doubt he'll be selected again in the Wallabies final 30 for the 4N. That's a big part of the Wallabies...
