Just checked the record: Verity-Amm first started a game for the Force against the Lions in Rd 10 2017. He played wing or fullback in seven of his eight appearances. Against the Highlanders, he came on for Ian Prior, who was playing at 10 at the time, but the backline at that time was: 9.) Ruru...

I haven't seen enough of him to really make a judgement, but the number one job of the 13 is to have good defensive positioning, straighten the attack to give the wingers space, and basically never miss a tackle (or, at least slow the man down). If you're remembering him for his pace and tackle...

While I'm obviously always in favour of bringing quality to the Brumbies, I'm surprised the wing is so high on the list. We have Speight, Taliauli, and Banks tied down, and have every reason to believe that we'll be retaining Muirhead, Peni, and Verity-Amm. What we need (and I think I'm...

"We'll have six quality back-rowers next year" Pocock, Samu, McCaffrey, Cusack, Hyne, Valetini? "Ryan Lonergan ......... on the radar for contract upgrade" Three full contracts on scrumhalves? "McKellar [is] expected to recruit at least two back-line weapons in the coming weeks" Any guesses?

Okay, on the updated table, I believe that means Eagles can take 4th spot from Whites, but they need to win with a BP.

It's decided on competition points first. If a tie breaker is needed (eg. Easts win with a BP, Uni lose by more than 7, therefore both teams finish on 45pts), it then falls to: Number of wins, Point difference, Points scored, Tries scored. In some order after that, it's: Tries scored minus...

Top 4 sides confirmed. There might be movement between 3 and 4, but it makes no difference in the finals projections (one of the main reasons I dislike our finals system). Even if the Eagles destroy Uni, and Easts win with a BP over Vikings, then Uni get through on number of wins. This...

That game was at 2pm. They could watch three AFL games at the SCG before the Tahs game and still have time to spare.

ANZ is one of the worst fan experiences in Australia, they'd be better off playing it at Concord.

A final will sell.

Both players are gone now.

Wasn't at the game, but friends there say that the scoreline really flatters Queanbeyan. Royals starting to peak at the right time, hopefully.

One game is the club's first Quarter Final in three years. One is a dead rubber at the end of the season. You guess which had 5,000 more fans show up.

I hope this whole story is wrong. I don't want the difference between the Brumbies that lose a two try lead to a mediocre side and a Brumbies that beats the team that could go all the way in the finals to be "the players taking responsibility". I would be furious if we didn't show up for the...

Speight probably spending his offseason in Europe rather than the NRC. Source: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/injury-ends-act-brumbies-centre-tevita-kuridrani-hopes-of-wallabies-20180718-p4zs57.html

I'd be picking Rona, but I'd be excited to see Koroibete at 13 for the Argie game or something. Banks at fullback, Hodge and Naivalu on the wings. Not that I think it'd be the best, but I'd be excited. 11. Hodge 12. Paia'aua 13. Koroibete 14. Naivalu 15. Banks

Hodge, like Kerevi, knows how to tackle, but struggles to decide between committing to the man and defending the space. He could pull off the Jordie Barrett 13 role, but that really puts a lot of stress on the 12 and fullback. Rona had a bad week, but has been good this season. Let's hope that...
