Drew is certainly in some reasonable form up there. The problem there is no way to tell how that will compare to players in form in Super Rugby. It would be appropriate to give Mitchell and Gits time in the RC to show that they are worth considering for the big dance

How's Taps? Injury permitting I'd be keen to give the following a whirl 1. Slipper 2. Chibba 3. Homer 4. Simmo 5. Kev 6. Thomson 7. Gill 8. Tui 9. Genia 10. Frisby 11. JOC (James O'Connor) 12. Taps 13. Kerevi 14. Kuridrani 15. Turner 16. Ready 17. Paraka or Fa'agase 18. Talakai 19. Kotze 20. Korzcyk or...

Losing CFS will be a positive or negative depending on who they replace him with. Sad if it happens but at the same time not the end of the world. I agree with the right coach and physical preparation he could be anything

Yeah but the question who Flog? Who's consistently kicked 85-90%? Foley no, JOC (James O'Connor) no, Lilo no, White no, Burton no, To'omua haha, Quade very well might be but he's not playing so let's go with no. This is a very large problem I agree

I hear that Quade will be back in 3ish weeks

Steve, I like it quite a lot but it's only 31 so your choice could be seen as between taking Timani (the extra backrower) or Horne (extra outside back). I personally would do neither, just lose a halfback (probably White, but it's more likely to be Genia) from the squad and bring one over if...

I know one coach with a great record (at Queensland no less) who currently is not contracted

Slipper, Simmons and FRISBY re-sign for multiple years PHEW!

Scrum, line out...should have them on the ropes early. They'll cut us to shreds in the midfield

The Reds priorities should be a) experienced and talented Head and/or attack coach with proven record of success b) Very experienced head of physical performance. Somebody who's had good track record in heading up a high performance Rugby program before, preferably in multiple countries, and...

I like our chances up front to be honest

Paul Cully wrote a fairly strongly worded article today suggesting that there are only two things about the Wallabies that are feared in Europe - A magical day where they attack is on song and cuts teams to shreds - Pocock at 7 I tend to agree and I've said this before, sometimes it's worth...

I've said it before, RICHARD STOP BREAKING THE PLAYERS

Lose Frisby and we're totally, completely, hilariously fucked

Besides, Skelton has proved this season that he is a capable jumper at 2 (where the weaker of the two big boys typically jumps). Now that we know he can get off the ground, arranging some deception to make sure his slow speed getting up there isn't an issue should be no big deal

So you don't start with Palu and Skelton. Simple Palu and your bench lock come on at same time and nobody loses

Yeah agree with the two comments above. Play your best team (at that specific moment in time) against the kiwis (twice) and the boks (once) with the exceptions of one or two players, then play another one or two who are knocking on the door vs the Argies

Yeah but they only compared McMahon vs Fardy. Look at Higgers stats for the same categories, add his line out prowess, bulk and experience. He'd do a better job in the same role 6. Higgers 7. Pocock 8. Palu or Big Dog 6. Fardy 7. Hooper 8. Palu or Big Dog

Anyone read the comments from Greg Harris in the paper today? Foley signed his Japanese deal well before the flexible contract was on the table for him, effectively saying to the ARU "I'm having my cake, the only question is if you're going to feed it to me too". To me, that sucks. That is not...

It's seems stupid that Bernard Foley is the player that has broken the ducks back so to speak. From a wallabies perspective (which should be the primary concern when doling out ARU contracts), Folau, To'omua even Cooper are all players with more to offer the wallaby cause. Should use the murky...
