If we are considering a 6/2 bench he must come into consideration

Perese can play well on the wing if necessary more effectively than Paisami, so Perese covers back 3 and 13, JOC (James O'Connor) covers 10/12 If Petaia is wounded, I would slot Kellaway into 15 before JOC (James O'Connor) Kicking? We don't have the talent to win the kicking dual over the Poms but Cooper will be part of the...

I thought I might as well have a go Thoughts? Keep Tate & JOC (James O'Connor) together for their combination finishing a test Let Bell finish to provide some dynamism as Topou finishes Porecki is our best lineout unit, so he starts Wilson over Leota is about dynamism and mobility Petaia is a hope and a...

He had an early year where he struggled to balance test level scrummaging and work rate, but that was ages ago and now he is the dogs bollocks

Starting prop choice is arguing about 5-10 minutes of playing time The decision to pick TT as a "finisher" is more about leveraging his dynamism around the field against tiring opposition than his ability to start a test match

We really miss Perese, we just lack gain line punch. Newsome has looked really good at 15 this year (surprised me and in retrospect he seems another victim of his own versatility) , but a place holder at 13

Young props getting schooled is always going to happen, I was more disappointed with his attitude afterwards Just nod your head, mutter "c*nt" under your breath and plan to get him at the next scrum

Squidge on England and eddie jones, interesting ...........................

They close sections - Homebush just closes the top tier usually for smaller crowds There has been discussion about, for better broadcasting product, filling the seats in front of the cameras first so it looks fuller

OK, so does this approach work with injured players? or players being selected from overseas? or players playing shit teams?

Most sides are running diminished sides by this time of the year, either by injury or contractual rest or rotation

isn't it nice to see a comp that has Kiwi side actually losing games and most game going down to the wire

Well yeh, I am just dumbstruck with the utter rejection of the premise of score board pressure, we have been doing it for years, endless scrum re-sets, lineouts = with too often little success It is like each captain takes the bet and then refuses to consider any other option These pricks need...

Take the faarken points

I am more concerned about us being perceived as favourites, no no no we will do our best against the best, most talented team in comp

The other point is what other options do we actually have? There aren't scores of available props that can be magically be dropped into the middle of a Super Rugby season

This is the first season he has been fit, he has talent and potential but needs many more runs on the board, he went quiet for a good chunk of this years games

Randwick used to run pretty well the same move continually, just with different receivers; and lots in motion

Quite possibly, but there will be injuries and I expect both would be about, I rate Uru and I see opportunities for both IMHO

You would think he would be running that inside channel off every lineout, even if doesn't get it, it must square up wider defenders and give the others space
