Disappointing that Jason Woodward can't crack the Hurricanes 23

I'm disappointed Weeks and Leafa are no longer in the Leadership Group

Good shout, but Huia's capped isn't he? That was the criteria I was looking for...

Huia Edmonds at hooker perhaps?

What makes you sure he didn't do exactly that? Coming off his Wallabies debut in 2014, he had his best ever Super Rugby year in 2015 yet wasn't even in Cheika's extended squad prior to TRC, with uncapped Coleman & Arnold ahead of him. Then, the ARU brought Mumm & Douglas back ahead of him as...

Sydney Uni are playing Rebels U20s at some point I believe...

Sean McMahon has something that's been sorely lacking in Australian Rugby for years... A fair bit of c**t in him. He loves the physicality of the contest and will never shirk a challenge. That's what sets him apart from the likes of Butler, and what saw him in front of Gill at the RWC, as Cheika...

Ita Vaea offers more to a team, such as the Wallabies, than Sean McMahon? This board would be the only place where you'd not be laughed off based on this concept, I'd suggest....

So because his team didn't play finals, his award as the best player at his team means less? By that rationale, Sean McMahon is not as good a player as Ita Vaea?

Colby has yet to make an impact at Super Rugby level? Won the Rebels' Players' Player in 2014, same year Butler won the Brumbies award?

Jordy signed a new deal in Melbourne until the end of 2017. Backrowers out of contract at end of the year in Melbourne are Fainga'a, Fuglistaller and Thomson

Colby is off contract end of 2016

That's Filipe Vilitati, who played for the Rising, and is making up the numbers at pre-season, crouching in front of Hagan. He is part of the Island Breeze program with Sefa

Rebels U20s def. Tasmania U20s 128-7

Wasn't offered a contract in Melbourne.

Ta was in the extended squad for the Rising as he came back from a knee injury, alongside around a dozen U20s products. When a spot in the full squad opened up late in the campaign, he was the player elevated to the full squad, however due to the depth in the Rising back row he was never called...

Melbourne Rebels team for trial v Blues: Starting line up: 1. Toby Smith, 2. James Hanson, 3. Laurie Weeks, 4. Steve Cummins, 5. Luke Jones, 6. Jordy Reid, 7. Sione Taufa, 8. Ta Hosea, 9. Ben Meehan, 10. Jack Debreczeni, 11. Tom English, 12. Mike Harris, 13. Mitch Inman, 14. Dom Shipperley, 15...

Agreed. Lack of Super Rugby-ready locks at the Rebels will cost LT as he will be deployed in the 2nd row again, actually stifling his claims to a Wallaby call up.

I enjoyed this (https://amp.twimg.com/v/84285770-72c4-4a3a-b18c-e55cae536d3d) and especially the3 concessions at the end around speed and playmakers. Wondering if Lachie Turner could be an option, as a free agent (to my knowledge)? Unfortunately Sefanaia Naivalu isn't eligible to represent...

My suggestion for best social media accounts to follow if you're an Aussie Rugby fan: @superrugby (don't follow @superrugbyaus/@superrugbynz, they're just run by the national body and their TOTW etc. has no substance) @Wallabies @RupaNews @whichever team you support
