Surely it's time that the title of this thread is changed... It's not longer an impending dilemma....

He's behind Alexander too IMHO.

I tried pulling together my squad... 80% of the players pick themselves. It's the last 20% where all the headaches are. For me the hardest selection is actually the second row. At the moment Simmons and Skelton are most likely locks (pun intended)... but assuming you're taking 4 locks, then...

Faulkner is the reserve tighthead.... You're looking for a loosehead. It'll be from Sio or Robinson... Assuming Scotty gets better I'd have him there.

Interesting not to see Matt Hodgson on the bench. This can only signal intent to play Hooper for the full eighty minutes and an attempt to look for a little more impact with ball in hand as opposed to impact on the breakdown. Will be interesting to see how that plays out with the Irish defence.

I'm going with 8 Moore Alexander Horwill Higginbotham Genia Ashley Cooper Beale McCabe

A Rathboner perhaps?

\ Nah, Badminton.

Mowen, Moore & Pocock were obvious choices Christian is also a reasonably obvious choice - given he was in a leadership role last year and is level headed and a good communicator in the backline. Rathbone obviously has a wealth of on the field and off the field personal experience and is...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Fardy in the mix...

Interesting you mention that. One of my good mates was the physio to the Phillipines 7's squad and Phillipines National team that competes in the ASN competition. The team was predominately comprised of Australian and New Zealanders with Phillipino heritage. A number of the team were drawn...

Injuries aside I think we'd roll out a reasonable "B" XV next year. Imagine a XV (excluding all starting players against Wales). 1. Robinson 2. Polota-Nau 3. Alexander 4. Douglas 5. Pyle 6. Higginbotham 7. Pocock 8. Palu 9. White 10. Foley 11. Betham 12. To'omua 13. Kuridrani 14. Speight 15...

I think you can add To'omua to 12. I think we're all but agreed he is the real deal at no.12.

#areyousuggestingwebringbackdeans?

But look at those who were suspended... most were Tahs

Any ideas of the said player? They allude to the fact it's a senior Brumbies player... potentially Squeeky Moore?

I think the Link will go with Lilo for a straight swap with To'omua. CFS to OC as he is the only out and out OC in the squad available to play. With To'omua and Kuridrani out I think we'll miss a little starch in the centres come the Welsh test. I'm confident the centres for that game will be...

Thanks
