Canterbury Mitre 10 Cup Prop Tamaiti Williams has been a stand-out performer and not just because of his monster frame. Listed on various profiles as weighing between 120 and 132 kilograms, Williams admits to putting a little more stress on the bathroom scales. "I'm closer to 140kgs," Williams...

White JOC (James O'Connor) Koro Hodge Petaia Daugunu Banks/DHP Gordon/Tate Lolesio Paisami

Paul Cully has some good thoughts on this topic

With Fiji playing in the 8 Nations, is there any way to have Samoa/Tonga involved on short notice?

Happy to have been proven completely wrong with Daugunu.

Unchanged 23 if possible.

Not much I don't like about the team. If Petaia wasn't going to be available, I wanted TK at 13 and I maintain that. Also interesting to see that Daugunu was chosen on a wing ahead of not only Wright, but also Hodge and Maddocks. I respectfully disagree and fear a red card for a dangerous...

Isn't young Albert there?

Could you start Simmons & Phillip, with LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) on the bench and in doing so also acting as additional 6 cover in the event of an early injury, thus allowing a 5/3 (I've previously advocated a 6/2 with our inexperienced backrow options)? 4: Philip 5: Simmons 6: Samu 7: Hooper 8: Wilson 19: LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 20...

Neville's omission from the Wallaby 44 is perplexing, especially in a position where we have such little depth.

Brumbies 13+ the bet here

Interesting to see Mahe Vailanu named at 6. Surely his utility value makes him a Super Rugby squad candidate? Anybody able to shed light on Tim Simona's prowess since swapping over?

Don't see why they would suddenly invest in a new sport to broadcast on Stan when they don't broadcast any of their existing sports (incl. tier two such as netball) there... ;)

I actually really like it and recekon that it is an upgrade on State of the Union. Would love to see Aus try something like that, either with existing coaches picking the teams, or past players - e.g. Sharpey's 23 vs. Gregan's 23 Be great to watch!

Wonderful signings

Powell would be better than the incumbents

Hopefully Bobby Tuttle gets another year. Not sold on Lomani or Strang. If we could get Isaak Fines outta the Brums, I'd be into it. Also not sure if Sorovi would be gettable

Really poor

Slipper, Fainga'a, Ala'alatoa, Arnold, Fardy, Samu, Hooper, Naisarani, McDermott, O'Connor, Koroibete, To'omua, Petaia, T.Wright, Banks/DHP Sio, Uelese, Tupou, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Wright, Wilson, White, Hodge

I think we're pretty quick to write athletes off these days. Would be disappointed if by age 27 a player can't be significantly improved by good coaching
