1. Bell 2 Porecki/Folau - can't split them, both are solid, neither is dynamic but they deliver the core requirements 3. Tupou 4. Phillips 5. Rodda 6. Valetini 7. Hooper 8. Wilson 9. White - best kicker from hand, with no effective tactical kicking option beyond 10 - we need the option, Gordon...

The benefit of Hooper is that he will deliver a world class effort for 80 minutes, there is no reason to budget for his replacement We plan to replace the front row, a lock and a backrower. In the backrow (assuming , with 6. Valetini 7. Hooper 8. Wilson you would budget either Wilson or...

Thanks, if any, I can't imagine much

I can't find an article stating a top up, source?

I think Harrison will look the dogs bollocks behind a pack that is functioning, in a team defending with backs who can play a bit He looked good playing in a team of turds last year

Beale will be 15 next season

I think Edmed does a better job of getting the backline functioning than Donaldson

for context, I still think there is a reasonable difference

I thought Edmed looked like the most complete 10 the Tahs have run this season. One dud pass, but a lot of positives Also Foteki looked far better at 13 than he has at 12 And that after 4 phases we still have no idea what to do The work off the ball collapses so the ball receiver too often...

Especially with Hanigan on the way back (a real lineout option (on attack and defence))

So a tight back is improved sitting on a plastic chair for 50 minutes?

We could do with an actual strike weapon out wide

That is the second time Rennie has talked about footwork from forwards One of the things he said Wilson had to work on was his footwork at/near contact.

Not sure how being a good Super Rugby journeyman equates to being an experienced leader/mentor in a test squad

Edmed & Roberts suggests a more conservative game plan trying to keep the Reds to under 50 Edmed is pretty good IMHO but Bell is a massive loss, our bench props have added nothing so far. Hopefully Smith is healthy again
