Playing ability. I would have thought Campbell and Hardy were ahead of him in the pecking order, or CFS on the wing?

I'd be surprised if Daugunu was a starting winger for you in 2020...

This is who I have so far - am I missing any? Hugh Roach (Tasman) Andrew Kellaway (Southland) Seb Wileman (Southland) Sef Fa’agase (Wellington) Michael Ala'alatoa (Canterbury) Matt McGahan (North Harbour) Lausii Taliauli (Southland) Josh Furno (Wellington) Jackson Garden-Bachop (Wellington)...

Hearing Wisemantel looking less likely. John McKee, Todd Louden two I've heard as possibly being in the mix. I know it would be unlikely, but surely throwing some $$$ at Joe Schmidt would be worth it? Yes, he's said he doesn't want to coach for two years, but it's closer to home, less travel...

Is JOC (James O'Connor) the backup winger?

I wonder if there is any scenario where Cheika doesn't coach at the RWC. If we're 0-4 in TRC, does Johnson say "sorry mate, the group isn't playing for you", and take over as interim HC until Rennie next year? Heaven forbid if we went 0-5, surely he can't go to Japan?

Lomax an oversight on my path. Deegan over Hegarty, Paia'aua + Lance is madness. He's never even played Super Rugby... Who would your wingers be then? Happy to run with Pyle + Wykes over the Qld locks and Swain for the timebeing, but I think that in a couple of years it would be a...

Ok sure, so with that in mind... 1. JP Smith 2. Alex Mafi 3. Angus Ta'avao Michael Ala'alatoa 4. Hugh Pyle 5. Sam Wykes 6. Jarrad Butler 7. Colby Fainga'a 8. Lachlan McCaffrey 9. Ian Prior 10. Jono Lance 11. Tom English 12. Billy Meakes 13. Mitch Inman 14. Dillyn Leyds Toni Pulu 15. Jason...

Be great to get a list of Aussies, or players contracting to Aus Super Rugby teams in the past, playing Mitre 10 Cup this year - anybody good at that stuff?

Ta'avao had an Australian grandparent, so was. Leyds would have been if he saw out the (then) 3 year eligibility period.

Please read: if they have played for another country since departing, they're eligible

As opposed to an Overseas 23, I started thinking about which current players (anywhere in the world) would make an uncapped Australian 23. The eligibility I have decided upon is that they must have been contracted to an Australian Super Rugby team following the 2011 Rugby World Cup (if they...

He was on the FOX footage vs. Chiefs so must still have been there then, at least.

*Blyth (hopefully for the last time)

This is one of my greatest frustrations. In the digital age, even organisations without big marketing budgets can have an impact with clever social strategies and great content which achieves traction via social media channels as people want to engage with it, share it, comment on it etc...

Rebels average crowd nowhere near that level

Tayler Adams is good to go. I rate him highly. Somebody needs to bring Jack Deb home. Mike Harris? Zack Holmes?

I believe Simone has another year to go too

But I note that Richie did start for toulouse in their Top 14 final win!

And they probably owed him after not initially diagnosing his broken back, which he kept playing through... Jones' in-laws live in Melbourne too. Babysitters are always handy when you have a kid. I didn't say every player, but could tell you 10+
