OK,we can agree on the wording.I think it is going to be very difficult to convince the other 2 nations to accept any additional team,but I would certainly hate to lose SA from S15.I also doubt that SA really want out.Where would they go?HEC(if it continues as such)would certainly not...

Sorry,can you explain why it is a compromise to have 5 teams from each country?

Sorry,I should have put the whole song in my earlier post.It was written by Geoff Harvey,who was the Channel 9 music director and secretary of the rugby club at the time.A great rugby man and could lead a good singalong!.

For what it's worth,my team is: Tameifuna,Franks(Kruger) Moore(Chiiliboy) Whitelock,Kimlin(Clarke) G.Whitelock,Todd,Messam(J.Potgeiter) Hougaard(Ellis) Carter(c)(Lilo) Engelbrecht,Kuridrani(Ngatai) Marshall,Speight,Masaga(Rathbone) Good luck to all,guys.

What's the point of having a goal kicker in a 40 man squad if he is going to get cut at the next stage?I really struggle to see why he is there.

HJ,do you know the significance of the song to Randwick?Doesn't really seem relevant unless there is some Irish connection there.Bloody good song,though.

"They're good in the fast play and even the rucks,and if they don't score well they don't give a........damn" Ah,what memories - an afternoon on the verandah at Millner drinking copious quantities of amber fluid and cheering the Woods. The after game singalong in the old bar was also a classic...

Good comments,Scoey.I actually think the Reds loss was indicative of their season.I did not see every Reds game,but quite a number,and the only time I thought they showed possible title winning form was in the win over the Chiefs.Apart from that they were fairly ordinary,including the terrible...

Hard to work out how the stats for scoring relate to how well a player actually plays.I had Speight and most said he was close to MOM,but scored 4 points!Also half backs continually score low.I had White,with Ellis on bench,but both were in single figures.Luckily managed 477 pts with Carter's 75...

Biggsy,not sure what you mean by this.I thought he was already fairly "devastating and a massive threat to All teams".Do you need him to be more so to think he's a good rugby player? I like your use of the A in all.

RC,is Ferreira playing?I had him before but the team list I saw did not have him in.

You've nailed it Richo!

I think your question about whether Deans knows how to use Lilo or not, is impossible to be answered until after the match,having never played for Deans before.You may be right but we will know after Saturday,not before. At least it should be a reasonably popular selection.

Braveheart,you have responded exactly as I would have(but probably better!).Why people still think like this amazes and disappoints me.

Actually,Horan also wrote when the squad was first picked,why he thought he was left out and what his weaknesses were.So,although he would probably have selected him,you have a fairly knowledgeable "expert"understanding the decision. I think maybe we should all understand the decision has been...

I was ecstatic to get 441 with 2 players on zero!Forgot that McCalman was a Wallaby and McCutcheon dropped out of Tahs.Foley was a good captain and Pek Cowan a ripper.

I think the 5 min sin is a good idea as I agree most refs are reluctant to give the 10 until too many infringements have occurred. The game at present doesn't need much rule changing but what I would like to see trialled(emphasise trialled,not adopted), is getting the defence back maybe 5...

Did you see Horan's comments on Foxsports website today?While still a supporter of Quade's ability,it seems he could see the arguments for not picking him.If a highly respected ex player like he can see it,why has his non selection,at this stage, caused such a furore?For sure there are some...

Very sorry for not adding any value to the forum.As you mention,other rugby fans may have a different view and I happen to be one of those.It may be that it's 15 provinces but I can't separate the fact they are from 3 different countries and I will continue to support ALL the Australian teams...
