Funny isn't it. Some years ago, Robertson and HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) were fighting it out for the Tahs' LHP spot. IIRC HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) was moved to the TH side while Tom R retained the LH side. Now they could be going head to head for a spot in the RWC squad on the TH side.

Looks like we've seen the new defence coach for the Wallabies. Brett Hodgson, ex-Western Suburbs/West Tigers/Warrington Wolves rugby league full back, who most recently was England rugby defence coach under Eddie. Was sharing the box with Eddie last night.

Best part of the game was seeing the Brumbies compete for the ball at ruck time. This has been missing from their game for quite some time. Brumbies forwards simply too strong at set piece and in th open. Tahs definitely missed Bell after he went off injured. Both sides showed good enterprise...

Luke was always better at the ruck but Rory will tackle everything. On balance I'd go with Reimer too. What's happened to Jahrome Brown?

This. It was also penalised in the earlier game. The tackler rolled away but across the back of the ruck when he could and should have rolled the other way. Hope the refs keep penalising it.

:D :D

Classic Brumbies attitude harking back to 1996.:D

Is that the first score or the first win? If win, score?

Now there's a blast from the past - the Fairstar. Did the Christmas/New Year cruise in 70/71 as a little belated honeymoon. Nukualofa, Pago Pago and Suva/Lautoka. Among other memorable things!, introduced me to Pizza.

Tupou signed for two years only I think. Ikitau hasn't yet signed beyond 2023, and Frost is only signed to 2025 I believe.

Reported in the Canberra Times today that Vunivalu (and JOC (James O'Connor)) is suffering a lingering ankle injury.

Some time ago and at another franchise, but Ben Mowen at the Brumbies.

And Lonergan if you're listing the Wallabies in the 23.

Not ideal. A RC and a warm up game virtually on the eve of the RWC is hardly the setting to be developing and executing a coherent game plan.

Noah hasn't played since the Wales test. Nothing more than that I'd say, seeing that Nic White is also on the bench after not having any trial time too. In fact, five of the current Wallabies squad are on the bench.

Impressive. Looks like a championship side again.

I'll keep my comments to myself TSR but I am favouring the Tahs to win.

That makes me one of a group containing every other GAGR poster ever, BH. But I do now worry about your telepathic capabilities. I, apparently, just mistakenly misinterpreted the number you meant, while you are exactly on the mark about how many I was thinking about. Compelling stuff. What are...

Same word BH but in no way a specific number. The context of its use determines how big or small a few is. But to clarify, I reckon there could be more of the U20s with Super Rugby experience this year than I understood you were referring to.

Sure BH but my point was that I think there might be a few more than you suggested, at least the way I read the comment. Certainly, looks like there could be a few at the Reds according to Wilson.
