The guy is 21. How about we let him develop in Super Rugby before we write the bloke off, considering he has acquired 11 caps since 2013. Also, 190cm, 110kg - hardly 'small' by backrower standards.

The question remains Is Julian Salvi eligible for the Wallabies this year?

Why do people keep bringing up Douglas as if he will feature for the Wallabies this year? He is contracted to Leinster until 2016.

The King in the North

But......... but........ Higgers had a great season in 2013 so he is higher than McCalman the 'trundler' in the pecking order.

Better off relying on Simmons to cover 6, and having a lock reserve like Carter, Jones (or even Horwill if you're so inclined) tbh over McCalman - if Pocock, Fardy or Hooper can cover 8 adequately. Don't want Fardy packing down behind our substitute front row if the game is in the balance.

Cheeky 20 on the Reds:

You care to expand on what we do need or do you only talk in sweeping generalisations Fair enough, Cummins is not the best winger defence-wise, and not everyone likes the fact he is direct. He is in consideration though because he is a specialist winger with runs on the board, and to my...

15 caps. 6 tries. Not a bad strike rate at international level compared to Speight, Horne and Tomane. And that's a bad thing, why? It is not all his fault if he gets the ball with no space. Better he runs over people than crab across field. You're taking the piss if you rank most of those...

Sad news to hear such a quality player and probably NZ's finest tighthead prospect in a while may never fulfil his full potential. I really rated him.

Or the other likely explanation was Larkham, Lees and Kirwan met pre-game and agreed they would make it competitive, but the Blues would win nonetheless. White missed the kick at the end there on orders from Larkham - who netted a hefty sum for betting against his team.

Wykesy.

Not to detract from the premise of the thread, but has McCalman played at 6 - for the Force or Wallabies - or has he exclusively played at 8? Could be a handy option at blindside if Palu is fit. I reckon TGC take his pick of Fardy, Dennis, Jones for BSF depending on his first-choice OSF i.e...

Never change, Shiggins.

Watching the Sharks just furthers how shit the Force currently are, to go down to them last week. If the Force play the Saders [away] this season, they're going to get absolutely curb stomped.

3 yellow cards at half time to the Saders.

My man Stu Berry with the whistle for the Sharks-Saders game. Saders up 3-28 but giving out yellow cards like lollies to 2 Saders players just to even it up for the Shorkies.

I expect him to show us why he is the Wallabies 12 in waiting. But then again.........

I think it has to do with th fact he is not the lone star player, relied upon by his team to make things happen. It helps that he is part of an almost All Blacks backline, and isn't the easy target to shut down in defence.

I can just see it now......... a lot of kicking for touch and mauling as a result of the turnovers
