Matt has done an ACL, poor bugger was at the game (he's a Mudgee boy) hobbling around on crutches!

Thoroughly enjoyed the game, and while the Brumbies were well beaten, I didn't think it was as one-sided as the score indicated. I don't think any of the young Tahs did their cause any harm, and their up and in your face defence was excellent. Their handling was a lot more accurate than the...

They're predicting 36 degrees for 6pm, kick-off time! Saw Mumm & Kepu down the street, didn't seem that unhappy they weren't playing!!

Listened to Andrew Hore (Tahs relatively new CEO) this morning, was extremely impressed. He was clear that the sort of turnarounds in culture, structure and governance he speaks of won't happen overnight, but if the board give him the opportunity, it could be to the real long term benefit of...

Or him & Hanigan starting and Mumm & Skelton fighting for the bench!!!

On the issue of locks, while I agree with others we could use another one, I am not necessarily part of the majority opinion that Hanigan's position will be 6. I'm sure he will be fine there, but I though he was outstanding as a lock in the NRC, particularly in the set piece. The old saying, if...

For mine, I want Hooper's ticker in Skelton's body!!

Trouble with Skelton is he came in showing as a giant with great hands, real potential, but just hasn't developed. His fitness, running onto the ball and driving through contact, careless penalties etc. He is no better than the first day he appeared on the Super rugby scene, not a test...

Fardy was solid in the lineout and very good at the breakdown. I agree, MC will start Mumm, just not my preference

Sorry, that was meant to be Arnold starting, Douglas not fit enough to start and come off the bench :)

McMahon for Fardy on the bench if he's fit Godwin for Cooper if Cooper's not fit

Sio Moore Kepu Simmins Douglas Pocock Hooper Timani Genia Foley DHP Hodge TK Morahan Folau Res: Latu Robertson AA Douglas Fardy Phipps Cooper Naivalu

By the way, some of the French attacking rugby, when they got their off-loads going, was just spectacular. Like all French sides, they can be brilliant at times.

I'm sorry some didn't enjoy that games, because I sure did. I mean, those who were howling down everything Cheika did are still unhappy, but he rolled the dice, made sure as many players as possible were uninjured for Ireland, and won. I can just imagine the vitriol if we'd lost by two points...

3. Pocock 2. Foley 1. Kuridrani

Reg, I imagine your side v Barbarians would see Dempsey & McMahon swap spots,. Cheika seems to see McMahon as a possible 8, and all Dempsey's football at both Super and NRC level has been at 6

While I'm a massive Taf fan, it's probably a blessing in disguise If he had been back at the Tahs, at least one, possibly two of Roach, Latu and Fitzpatrick would have drifted off. These guys are the future, now they will be competing for the 1 & 2 spots in the Tahs line-up, with the third...

I think we all agree Cheika has three decisions to make this week. Firstly, if Pocock is not cleared of concussion, the replacement 6, with the options being Mumm, Fardy & McMahon. Mumm has been very good in the lineout, and better than many GAGR's rate him, but still not effective enough for...

I agree BR, Morahan is very unlucky, however I don't have a problem with Koroibete's inclusion, let's get him in there and have a look at him. I also agree Skelton is dead lucky, as is Godwin. He had an indifferent NRC, and seems to still be relying on the potential he showed in his rooky ye...
