Maybe you are chasing the wrong O'Connor, try Rory from Manly as LHP.

Forcefield throw some names out to watch.

The Aus Under 20 run showed some good depth for the Force with RHP as a short term replacement for Cotterell and depending when he returns from injury. Others to impress Hooker - Scoble and Winger - Lacey

I think the Waratahs should enquire about Payne from the Under 20 and Brothers as he looks a ready replacement.

Jun 19, 2014 Melbourne Rising announce coaching setup Sean Hedger to lead Rising in NRC Sean Hedger will be at the helm of the Melbourne Rising team that will compete in the inaugural National Rugby Championship (NRC), kicking off in mid/late August 2014, after being named as Head Coach...

Some of my decisions were based on name and CV as in the Hookers, two former Super Rugby Hookers in Whittaker and Holmes. Weeks from Norths was a recent U20 trialist in 2013. That was why I did not consider Porecki. With the Props I did make a mistake by including Michael Ala'alatoa he should...

Now that the Wallabies Squad have been announced here is my impression what the playing ranks of the NRC could be. Noting I have shored up Perth, Melbourne and Canberra first. I had the most difficuty with Easts, NSW Country, Randwick combine. I tried to keep all Shute Shield players with...

I believe Red’s problems have been complacency and the Reds College at expense of EPS. The other franchises have used their 5 EPS spots to promote talent whilst the Reds haven’t used two positions. The scrum is perceived as the weakest or equal worst in Australia and probably Super 15. Yet the...

There was an interesting article in SMH today on Rugby League and stadia outcomes from games with all NSW NRL teams canvassed. Detailing revenue and expenditure for games. This may show some similarities to this strand of the thread relating to SCG Trust. You could probably equate Waratahs with...

With the QRU running the two teams it will be interesting to see how they divide the talent. The most important question is what to do with all the utilities on the QLD books. There will be no teams with different agendas to the QRU and I hope Albert Anae will be played in one position for...

I don't want to pour cold water on the idea but the concept failed in the 80's. I was their at Ballymore when the ANZAC's took on the Lions. Unfortunately there was only three All Blacks. Steve McDowall, Botica and one other.

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/brumbies-coaches-cast-eye-over-local-talent-before-national-rugby-championship-20140406-zqqyc.html The Canberra UCV seems to be stepping ahead having an open call for JID best players and the three Brumby Coach supporting this by watching the three...

Here is more guess at the Melbourne Rebel Rising where I think there may be 4 Rebel Wallabies in Smith, Pyle, Higinbotham and Burgess. I am trying to provide the best possible team for the Rising even if some players could return to Sydney over others. Also I have chosen some players they may...

But it may be close between the two as Dowsett was in the match day 23 last week. It would good to see him go head to head. Depends on what the Brumby masters might want.

I was trying to keep DHP but had 8 backs from Western Force. Kept Morahan because he is a star but he and Godwin could be on fringe of Wallabies. Kept Charles as he is the best Hooker available and he and Wykes have been at the Force long term not blow ins. Same reason for keeping Pek Cowan...

Here is my stab at the Perth Gold. I have 3 WF Wallabies, Hodgson, McCalman and Cummins. Pek Cowan Kieran Longbottom Francois Van Wyk Ollie Hoskins Joe Savage Nathan Charles Harry Scoble Robbie Abel Sam Wykes Adam Coleman Ross Haylett-Petty or Nick Haining Oscar Backhouse Angus Cottrell Corey...

Obviously there is no directions yet about player allocations. I think the first things will be what the Perth Gold and Melbourne Rising and partly Vikings selecting the 16 to stay in situ. I think the two QLD teams are self contained of Reds and the former Reds College and current QLD reps...

I did my break up differently with the Brumby contingent being 10 forwards and 6 backs. I believe there will be 10 Brumbies in Wallaby 30. I may be accused of warehousing but the aim was to keep younger players to develop. My squad for Canberra Vikings could look something like this Scott...
