Mortlock?

He was massive around the park against the Chiefs, a close second as best forward on the park behind Gill IMO. He stepped up big time in the final few games of the season where he came into a starting spot for Slipper.

Thuston's defence in the second State of Origin was amazing, and Lockyer in his prime was a very good tackler, much better than Quade.

Reds to play Blues, no surprises: Jono Lance, Rod Davies, Anthony Fainga'a, Ben Tapuai, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Radike Samo, Beau Robinson, Scott Higginbotham, James Horwill (capt), Rob Simmons, Greg Holmes, Saia Fainga'a, Ben Daley. Res: James Hanson, Guy Shepherdson, Adam...

Here's official statement from ARU: Signed with ARU and Rebels for two years. http://rugby.com.au/news/wallabies_2011/james_oconnor_re-signs_with_australian_rugby,147761.html Robbie has plenty to say but nothing from JO'C

Carter has the luxury of playing with a backline that is a sound defensive unit - having Barnes playing inside you is different from playing outside Quade Cooper.

It was one of Queensland's big men, Matt Scott, who made the extra few metres in the final minutes of the game to give space and momentum to Thurston and Lockyer to set up Slater's game-winning try.

Wickus van Heerden playing lock? Thought he was a flanker?

From the wries: Shep has been ruled out with a knee injury, but should only miss one game due to the bye for the Force next weekend. Dellitt will go to fullback with Inman back at 13. Hodgson's return will see McCalman go to the bench.

Moving away from the state v state shitfight... Thought Benny Lucas was great when he came on - so much vigour for a little bloke, and that tackle on Kirchner? in goal was a ripper.

Made me wanna check the team line-up, and here it is: 15 Clinton Schifcofske 14 Andrew Walker 13 Ben Tune 12 Quade Cooper 11 Brando Va'aulu 10 Berrick Barnes 9 Nic Berry 8 Tom McVerry 7 David Croft (captain) 6 Mitchell Chapman 5 James Horwill 4 Ed O'Donoghue 3 David Te Moana 2...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ab_dsMp1DA&feature=player_detailpage#t=218s - Gits was playing 9 for most of second half against the ABs in Melbourne 2007 and it seems Bray places a bit chunk of credit to him for the Staniforth try. IIRC he also played a lot of 9 in the 2006 EOYT, but the only...

Fresh off the wires, Brumbies have confirmed Friend's sacking... The Brumbies have sacked Andy Friend as coach of the Super Rugby team. A spokesman for the Brumbies confirmed reports on ABC Radio of the sacking of Friend. This follows media reports in the past week of internal grumblings...

Did James Turner get on the field and if so how did he go?

I see Toua started at wing with Davies as fullback. Similar to the U20s when he started on the wing with Morahan as 15. Is he no longer seen as a fullback option?

Any reports on the game? Was George Smith playing for Toulon?

Surely Chappo would qualify for Brisbane Grammar rather than King's?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTGbY6a3MSQ - Kefu's performance during that game. Also found someone has uploaded highlights from each Lions game in 2001: Game 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJfj1rILtHo
