Wait, so George Ayoub is actually operating under the alias Steve Lesczxynski? Why? I'd have thought Queenslanders everywhere would have bought him a beer after the other night :)

QLD count: Hookers: Stephen Moore, Tatafu Polota-Nau, James Hanson, Nathan Charles, Saia Fainga'a, Ged Robinson Props: Benn Robinson, James Slipper, Sekope Kepu, Ben Alexander, Pek Cowan, Salesi Ma'afu, Laurie Weeks, Greg Holmes Locks: James Horwill, Rob Simmons, Hugh Pyle, Dan Vickerman, Sam...

But will Archangel Georgie be there to deliver from the heavens? :)

I still haven't quite figured out how Ayoub awarded that try...one of the great mysteries :) Thanks for the vids Sully.

Which is, in part, why I picked him in my team for the game against the Scots (not the stats, the improved workrate). But he has a ways to go until he's ahead of Kepu (or Slipper) in my overall estimations. As Cyclo mentioned, they also have the added advantage of versatility. To be clear, I'm...

Classic.

So rewarding form = dump Sharp, but keep Simmons when "He needs to really up his game though", and pick Vaea because whilst Palu has been in form, he "will not be getting any better. Vaea most certainly will". Again, your form argument falls through by saying how awesome Vaea was "last year". He...

I feel as though this is the bit where Reds fans normally troll Tahs threads... But I just don't have it in me. Fingers crossed you get Harris, Fainga'a and Lucas back and fit soon - it's good for Australian rugby, really. Reckon you need to win 2 out of those 3. It's possible, just not the...

They don't seem to have gone to town on the current proposal, so I don't know about that. In fact, AFAIK there's currently no collective bargaining agreement - it lapsed and there hasn't been a new one instituted. I think that RUPA (with the players' support) needs to threaten genuine action...

Besides the death threats, this is a lolsome team. To be clear, are you also suggesting no rotation between the two tests on June 5 and June 9? This would, of course, mean that players such as Robinson, Moore, Palmer, Vaea, White, Barnes, McCabe, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Beale, Tatafu, Alexander, Pyle, Mowen, and...

No he isn't...you're just not with him :) TPN hasn't been at his best, obviously instructed not to be his usual exocet missile self, due to limitations of the Tahs squad. However, he's been everything Newter said - with the addition of poor lineout throwing, I admit. TPN has most definitely...

So how are the various subbies clubs/teams going for numbers?

Bah, reasonable answer to a reasonable question. Perhaps what it goes to prove, for all those who dislike Carter, is that working hard, putting your body on the line and never giving up isn't enough to be considered for Wallaby selection. In which case A.Fainga'a in particular should never go...

Fucking jinx. Thanks Braveheart! :(

Well to be fair, Carter presented a lot and got cut out with those lovely, loopy, intercept-inviting cutouts or the odd kick-pass. But certainly the line speed of the Chiefs' defence put them all off.

You could do worse. Would you flip 'em for the Scotland test?

Well Keps does switch for the Tahs too. Fair call though. To be honest, I'd prefer to see him starting but didn't want to be too Tahocentric.

I saw a photo of him in Ealsey's article as a 'future star' and just though nah...not with that thing hanging off your neck.

Plus, chances are at this rate he won't even play for the Tahs this year...
