I've been enjoying making the finals themed quizes, so I decided to throw one together for Lealiifano on his 150th cap. Question #1 Christian Lealiifano will play his 150th Brumbies game this weekend. What is the highest number of consecutive games he has played, and how many caps would he...

And there will be Pasitoa as well.

There's about a one-in-three chance that Simone takes over as the 10 next year, in which case you might expect Noah to slot in at 12. It's probably more likely than having Noah at 10 and Simone at 12. But Kuenzle should be considered favourite for the 10 shirt, and McKellar has shown his...

Ahead of Holmes? Shame.

Noah's chances have skyrocketed now that Wright has shifted to the wing. If he forms a good partnership with Ikitau, he'll be a shoe-in by 2023.

Brumby Runner with a great call for the bench, but otherwise a team that is as expected.

Have to wait for Game 3 this time around!

I've seen every game he's played in England, a few of them in person, haha. I stand by my comments that he's in the top 5 scrumhalves in the world right now. I also stand by my comments that he was an undervalued player who was misused by the Wallabies before he left. My opposition to...

Generally agree, and I imagine McKellar and co have said as much to the players. However, it's a foolish coach who hasn't got some kind of idea of what they want right now. The 2018 NRC season didn't get Hawera or JJH into the starting side, because it was already clear that Lilo was the 10...

The words I'm hearing (which knew about Speight weeks in advance but got the QF teamsheet pretty badly wrong two days early so accuracy is not established) are that Swain and Douglas are penciled in as the starting locks for next year, with Frost considered the first choice replacement. Which...

I don't want to see Carter in the Wallabies because the only lock he has shown an ability to effectively partner with is Arnold, but Rodda has done the same and is a better lock, and I don't expect Carter to give you the impact off the bench that you want. Philip, on the other hand, is exactly...

I'm not Carter's biggest fan since 2015. But comparing locks by stats for centres? That's a tad fucked. Go by lineouts won, tackles made, tackle percentage, and effective breakdown actions, and then have a use of the old eye-test and see how the props in front of the locks do when that lock is...

Naisarani is the best 8 in the country, and it's only close because of a rampaging McCaffrey and Samu.

Semi-finals questions posted.

I'm one of the biggest White fans you'll find (hence having to sort of viewing rights for Top 14 and the Premiership while he's been overseas), and I think it's a travesty to pick him over McDermott or Powell. Not because those guys are better players than White, but because they're here in Aus...

Interesting that we brought Wagner and not Ngauamo! Going to be in a world of hurt if either Folau or McInerney goes down. Also strange that we would bring Hansen on the trip when he has literally only played 4 minutes this season, but Ikitau has started games and covers 13 and stays at home...

I don't have any doubt that we can win this. We went there earlier this year and lost because of our own mistakes, not because we weren't in a position to win it. However, I really hope we have a strategy for not adjusting to jet lag. The last thing I want is for us to play our final this week...
