Goddamn we're still weeks away and my body is ready for copious amounts of Apple Whiskeys at Lefties and end up belting some Farnham at the Cakko.

He looks ok, but I don't think you can have both him and Wright in the 23, too similar in both style and physique. The Darkness would just put a Barrett on the wing and kick to it. I haven't seen enough of Muirhead being tested in defence against bigger blokes, how would he fair against a...

Another weekend, another time the Brumbies scrum got spanked.

Was that Toomuas pass that got intercepted by Wright leading up to that try?

You're taking the piss right? https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/rugby-news-2021-tolu-latu-car-crash-drink-driving-wallabies-stade-francais-french-rugby/news-story/cfc7655a4c764511619f13a7a59db8d3 Or are you trying to distinguish that because he didn't crash the first time that somehow it's...

He hasn't appeared in front of the French courts yet. If he receives a conviction which impacts his ability to get a visa in France, I'd imagine it will make this whole argument moot, yeah?

Hard pass on Latu. His failure again to learn from his mistakes in his personal life speaks volumes to his playing career. One good season doesn't make up for the poor ones he had. More importantly, I can't in good faith support any notion of parachuting a guy into a Wallaby set up who has...

I know from a preparation point of view, its less than ideal. But, from a mental perspective I think it's perfect timing. The entire squad (coaches included) will be mentally drained from Saturday night and you could see in ASY (Angus Scott-Young) and Taniela's eyes how much winning on the weekend meant to them...

I agree that most players on both teams highlighted why they should be starting over their counterparts i.e Valentine over ASY (Angus Scott-Young)/Wright, JOC (James O'Connor) over Noah. Neville over Smith/LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto). But inversely, I think there were a few players who didn't rise to the occasion. Simone really stood out as a bloke who...

The irony that we hit the front from a scrum penalty even with the Brumbies full strength front row is not lost on me.

Did Samu not go off? Surely that's the biggest con of a time waster.

Second time Tupou has dusted Simone.

What fucking rule is that?

Hey BR, first scrum and F Finger stands up. Penalty to the Reds.

I would have thought we'd be well covered for outside backs; Jock, Dangunu, Petaia, Sunivalu, Driasese, Flook with Isaac Henry and the Creighton brothers in the wider squad. 10 seems to be the bigger issue if Hegarty leaves. If JOC (James O'Connor) gets an injury we're looking slim and only have Hamish who's...

Sounds like it demonstrates to Wisemantel and Rennie that our best backline is 10 - JOC (James O'Connor) 12 - To'omua and 13 - Hunter which replicates what Bishop has found. To'omua is solid in defence like Hamish and a better ball player.

I think some perspective also needs to be given that, Jordie is being played next to a bloke who would probably be the inform back in Australia and arguably the best fly-half in Australia. (Brumbies fans note the keyword arguably). It'd be hard to constantly be compared to what Hunter and...

Feao is similar to Harry no and has missed a fair chunk of the last 2 years. Feo is also meant to be a TH? You'd imagine that a Bell and Tupou could be our two starting props at the Wallabies in a couple years though.

So there's talk about Bell being unhappy at the Waratahs and his contract expires at the end of the year. Should the Reds go after him? Hoopert seems to have struggled with injuries for the past two seasons, leaving us with Zander. With the Force having Robertson, the Brumbies have Sio and...

Looking forward to the Brumbies pirouetting to the right at scrum time then.
