Gerrard was too slow in the latter part of his career ever to be considered a test fullback let alone a wing. You admit that yourself!

Don't call me a Turkey... Urguay!

all these puns are making me Hungary... might have some chocolate to satisfy my Swede tooth.

Try-ranosaurus's Wallaby 30 man squad for the Lion's tour.... Props: Alexander (Brumbies: Loosehead / Tighthead), Robinson (Waratahs: Loosehead), Palmer (Brumbies: Tighthead), Slipper (Reds: Tighthead). I've gone for a balance of two primary tighthead scrummagers and two primary loosehead...

Nic White is from Scone afterall... the horse capital of Australia...

This from Gregor PaUL over on NZ Herald.... Is it me or were the pitch invaders painted in red and black.... Looks like Gregor's one-eye is colour blind.

Any ideas on who the 'other test forward' is?

Braveheart, I was about to write exactly that... In my opinion Mowen is the only one that would be in line for a starting debut. I think Lealiifano and potentially Mogg will get their chance this year (pending on continuing form)... via the bench. Why do I think Mowen could walk into the...

Here's my crack at a 30 man squad based on a mix between form, experience and squad balance. The players I've named in brackets I would happily substitute in for the aforementioned player. Notable absentees include Kepu, Timani, Cooper, Phibbs, Dennis, Holmes, Cowan, Simmons and To'omua...

What was so sweet about that fist 40 minutes is that the Brumbies out-powered a South African opposition. I haven't seen an Aussie side out muscle saffas for a while. How sweet that was to see.

I can only see the debate over the Wallabies number 10 jersey intensify over the coming weeks. To me, Cooper is currently playing himself out of a Wallabies cap. The two experienced alternatives in O'Connor and Beale both have their respective strengths / weaknesses and are best played in...

Yibbida Yibbida, that's all folks...

I hope we don't have to worry about Lelo and To'omua trying to match it with QC (Quade Cooper) for hot dogging under the tuterlage of Stephen Larkham, Laurie Fisher and Jake White. Something tells me they woudn't accept too much hot dogging...

As is his ego. I wish, like White at the Brumbies, Deans installs a no dickhead policy this year. I still remain firm in my belief that Cooper has to prove more than any other player that he deserves his shot at the number 10 jersey. I wouldn't be giving him a free ride to the Lions test...

I agree whole heartedly... but let's face it. There is a culture of alcohol and rugby that dates back decades. A lot of these 'professionals' with huge pay packets at 20-25 years old must find it very hard to abstain from Alcohol as they watch their mates at Uni go out and get p*ssed 5 out of...

Quite frankly, as much as I'd love to talk about McCabe vs Fainga'a's qualities as players the fact of the matter is we haven't seen Paddy for over 6 months... Let's reignite this conversation in another month or two.

I raised this exact question over on the Brumbies 2013 thread. If I had a crystal ball I'd say that Paddy McCabe is going to end up at 13 for the Ponies this year and as a result could potentially stake a claim on the Wallabies 13 jersey further down the track. McCabe has proven himself to be...

Some well illustrated points there... but I for one would much prefer to see Dan Palmer turn out in the Gold 3 jersey than Kepu. Kepu over the last few years (and I do conceed that he was shifted from 3 to 1 to 3 to 1 back to 3. However, his impact hasn't been huge. I am a firm believer that...

I think he'll get his chance sooner rather than later if he dontinues proving his worth off the bench.

I'm a littled concerned on the balance of the backrow as there doesn't really be anyone that can effectively bend the line with too much gusto. Having said that Dennis and Chapman will work all day... I was interested to see L Timani get a run. I guess I'll just have to settle for his big...
