It is an absolute no from me on any Australian returning to a SRAU team that has represented another country. We keep hearing the same nonsense when the likes of Hansen, Tuipolotu, Dempsey, Meafou get selected for one of the Northern Hemisphere teams of how proud they are and that it was always...

Who will be the goal kicker fir the Force? Will it be Burey?

The next Aussie to represent Scotland has been added to the squad for the weekend. Charlie Savala who attended Scots College amd once of the Roosters.

Around the 50 minute mark there were about 3 passages of play in quick succession where Tuipulotu, Dempsey and Hansen were all involved together in a collision. As an Aussie it was tough to see players raised and trained in Australia representing another nation. I personally feel that...

I wasn't clear, not suggesting Edmed at 12 for Wallabies now but suspect post RWC he could be moved there for Waratahs following input from EJ (Eddie Jones).

A slightly controversial comment but I am expecting to see Edmed and maybe Lolesio (due to his U20 time) be moved to 12. Eddie loves a 2nd playmaker at inside centre and looking around Super Rugby Aus there isn't that type of player at 12 with exception of maybe Henry. I am not a fan of moving players...

Reports out of France is that Miles Amatosero - 2m+ /125kg has signed for the Waratahs. If true this is personally how I like to see RA spending money rather than on Rory Arnold. Nothing against Arnold who is class but Amatosero at 20 years old is one I will be excited to see in Aussie Rugby...

I feel in a number of these cases that RA are being used as a stalking horse to build up salary in NRL. I am okay with this as less money available for youth recruitment of australia schools representatives for League. Youth recruitment still needs to be priority as the more Max Jorgensens...

Does anyone know if Campbell Parata is part of the Force squad for 2023 or has he returned to New Zealand?

Personally I am okay with Foley coming in, especially with the upcoming matches against the calibre of Springboks and ABs. What I would have preferred is seeing Donaldson come into the squad. For me he has the right game for test rugby and opportunity to train in high performance environment...

I still believe that RA should keeping pushing on Louis Lynagh. The guy has great attributes for a full back but from an international perspective he will be stuck behind Steward for the whole of his career if he plays for England. With the Japan based players not in contention for EOYT (which...

Looking ahead to RWC 23, I have absolutely no problem with Kellaway, Wright, Petaia and Hodge being our 14/15 options with Koroibete and Vunivalu taking the 11 jersey. Mixture of youth and experience who I expect only to get better over next 12 months.

TH lock- Emmanuel Meafou at Toulouse looks to have a great future which has been spotted by France national team who are looking at him once he passes 5 year residency. Can he be lures back before capped by French? Another option could be Miles Amatosero who has been getting more and more...

For me definitely heading in the right direction and excited to see this squad over next year towards RWC. Squad depth increasing and the 2019 Junior Wallabies are racking up the matches and looking more and more at home on international stage. The Rugby Champs another opportunity to develop...

Does anyone know whatever happened to Blake Enever? Was released by Leicester a year ago and I have not seen what he is up to now...

No Louis Lynagh which has surprised me, just for Eddie to stoke up Australia prior to the series.

Joe Powell eligible for Ireland as well I think....

A fair few names in the squad that even I have heard of so should bode well. Hopefully RA can put together some type of tournament during international window for non Wallabies to play and give some of the junior wallabies some exposure, perhaps maybe fielding a Junior Wallaby team against the...

A difficult one on Foote. Another change of coach is not going to do Rebels any favours next season and importantly who out there could come in? From overseas most notable names are Les Kiss at London Irish and Andy Friend at Connacht or closer to home perhaps Daniel Halangahu at the Blues...

Tamaiti Williams ticks so many boxes. TH prop, Perth raised and absolutely would be in the mix for Wallabies. Not in the Crusaders 23 for the QFs not sure if this is tactical or injury. Also have no idea about his contract status. If Force and RA could make this happen it would be huge.
