Only as a scrum consultant for a couple of weeks, but yep he is down there.

Will Genia just stated on Fox Sports News that Jack Debreczini is back at the Rebels.

Yes. And agree with the poster above - encouraging players to end contracts early and head overseas if they're not in the Wallaby frame is precisely why we're struggling. Look at Steve Cummins - just finished his best year of 3 in Super Rugby, and then released early to head to Wales. Such a shame.

The Rebels are happy for Lance to return to the UK. The terms of his agreement with Worcester will determine whether that happens or not. RA has been suggesting to the Rebels that Lance is not a player of national interest and they are encouraging the Rebels to let him go.

Whilst I rate Dicky H, Colby is the most underrated player in the country bar none. I'd be picking Philip over Parling too, though, and I still woulldn't be surprised if Jono returns to Worcester & Reece plays 10 (Sefa moves to 13 and English to the wing).

That's so embarrassing - what is the link?

This is the game I am referencing: https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2016/11/24/21/46/french-barbarians-wallabies-xv I assure you, players are Australian-tied from this game.

That's Australia's second nominated international side. That's why Sef Fa'agase pulled out of the game last minute.

Tied to Aus by playing for Barbarians vs. France last year.

Jack will be excellent - he is far too good for Shute Shield level.

Craig & Zane are currently part of the Samoa coaching staff in Europe. Zane won't be returning, Craig still 50/50

Are you able to elaborate?

Arnold is injured (knee). Lukhan & Simmons will tour but I wouldn't be surprised if both miss next week's game against Japan, and as we know Rodda already out. So besides Coleman, I would guess we would need to take 2 more locks unless Hanigan or Timani are going to be deployed there

I've heard that Douglas, Carter & Arnold will all be absent from the squad.

Interesting options for me are Lance & Hanson (both in UK on short-term deals and contracted in Aus, so therefore (like Lilo) eligible), and also in light of all the injuries does James Horwill come back into contention? He's played over 60 caps so he is instantly eligible...

With Mr. "call up Liam Wright & Folau Fainga'a" Cheika in charge, it's impossible to know who he sees as the obvious replacement for the tour. Is Dane HP back for spring tour? Can Mr Fix-It Hodgey play there? Is Andrew Kellaway a smokey, or even Jack Maddocks? Quade?!? Tom Banks?

As a Melbournite who lived in Christchurch for 8 years, and is now married to a Cantabrian, the two Rebels victories over the Crusaders at home (2012, the first ever match between the two sides besides PS game), and then away (2015, Rebels first ever win outside Australia) are my favourites, and...

Luke Jones re-signs at Bordeaux until 2020.

What you've said isn't incorrect - however once the key players leaned on him and tricked him into a commitment, he became terrified about being known as "the guy who sold the Rebels back to the AR". At that point, he stopped negotiating with them

The irony of the following is not lost on me: I hate Andrew Cox as he is a delusional egomaniac who tried to shut down all links between the Rebels & club rugby in Victoria when he first 'purchased' the club. However, that same ego was what stopped him selling the club to the ARU to be shut...
