Interesting isn't it. Foley and Folau, possibly two of the Waratahs best players, are off to Japanese rugby contracts during the Super 15 off season, but have long term contracts to stay with the Waratahs and receive golden handshakes from the ARU. Whereas we lose our halves Ginea and Cooper to...

We know that, but gees, that shouldn't have stopped him being in the squad (he's a Waratah):p

Fixed.

Gees, Benny Robinson must be rally upset, he's the only eligible Waratahs run on player not selected in this squad. What did he do to upset Chieka?

How the ^#*% did Dean Mumm get there?

maybe that was when The Terror picked it:rolleyes:

Why I chose the word 'optimum' as part of the title - a feeding ground for 'opinion':cool:

A serious question. How well does Palu cover across the field in defence? Good/bad/ at times??

What concerns me was that the Highlanders forwards don't have a single regular All Black, yet were able to manage the Waratahs 8. This doesn't auger well for the Wallabies - the selectors are really going to have to nut out the pack, and I feel that in the start on side that means only one, at...

So why the fuck did the QRU let QC (Quade Cooper) and his manager go to France. Why did they let the situation get to that stage. They must have known then that he was not going there for the Bonjour Follies

The pollies in Canberra would love to be able to apply the razor sharp repartee as displayed in the above posts - absolutely mind searing stuff.

But that's not only because of his ability around the field in a key position, but also largely because he's a rugby 'media magnet'

Don't let a few facts get in the way of a message;)

Actually, Higgers also has the speed of a centre. never forget a game he played for the Reds at Ballymore against the Shorks, where he ran from his defence 22 metre line the length of the field, out pacing the Shark centres

The Waratahs are definitely too good for the Reds. Why, they're a shoe in for at least 9 tries, all scored by Folua & every one converted by Foley, not to mention 3 penalties from 58+ metres out as a result of the Tahs scrum totally demolishing the Reds 8. Kurtley Beale to step up his awesome...

I see Jake McIntyre getting some game time, for two reasons: 1) Reds really do need fly half backup as this season and previous seasons have proved, particularly if QC (Quade Cooper) goes to beret land. 2) QC (Quade Cooper) in spite of playing a cracker of a game last week is probably not yet totally match fit

Ben Alexander at international level reminds me of Baxter as a prop. He was persisted with at Wallaby level, but never really cut it, and was regularly penalised by referees

So, the Chiefs are not sailing as smoothly without Aaron Cruden to steer the ship. And the Reds have grown another set of legs with Quade Cooper coming back from injury. I'm tipping that this is going to be very close, with the former side off the boil and the latter side performing their best...
