Higgers didn't even play rugby at school from memory. He was a year under me and was playing soccer I believe. Might have played in year 12 but im not so sure.

well he stood out to me, which is why i chimed in with my first comment about Robbo.

I might add that if Kepu and/or Alexander goes down injured before the world cup, we are totally screwed.

Am I missing something? 'good prospect' aside - Robbo was outstanding around the park on Saturday. I honestly cant remember Smith doing fuck all on Friday, other than scrum solidly. Robo in form (and it seems to me he's finding some form atm) is nothing less than a decent test LHP with a solid...

I thought Benn Robinson was excellent on the weekend. Not just in the scrums but in particular around the field. IMO he might be edging his nose in front for that third LHP spot.

pretty damn good I would expect. The guy is very adaptable. The only player I know of that was decent in three different codes.

I don't mean to stray off topic here, but in my view there is a big difference between using performance enhancing drugs and recreational drugs. Using performance enhancing drugs is cheating, plain and simple. It's the worst thing anyone can do in competitive sports. Using recreational drugs...

@USA Ruggers - I agree it was a bad call by Deans, and his tenure as coach was characterised by an inability to make the most of a world class group of backs to create a backline that could actually score tries. Whilst I'm not going to defend Deans, I will say the 10 cupboard was particularly...

@Dumbledore - I do recall seeing a number of interviews where he stated that he wanted to play 10 for the wallabies.

@ Brumbies Runner - I think he will. Over the last 12 months a lot of people have commented that JOC (James O'Connor) is better off remaining on the wing, in particular Richard Graham and Quade Cooper. I think he clearly understands that we will be a winger (and/or fullback) in 2015/2016. I also suspect that JOC (James O'Connor)...

JOC (James O'Connor) also kicked the winning goal in the RWC Semi final in 2015. Good signing for the reds provided JOC (James O'Connor) behaves, and yadda, yadda, yadda. If the Reds can secure Hunt too, they'll really be putting bums on seats for 2015. Need an abrasive forward to add to the mix too.

Agree with a lot of that qwerty, and I'm not saying that Skelton isn't ready. He may be. I like to think he is. I'd like to see him play against the blacks because not only does he make an impact but he sells tickets, he gets people excited, he gives us and the players hope that this year is...

I'm a big BIG fan of Skelton and think he could become one of our best test forwards in the coming years, but it is pretty clear he is still developing. Whether he is ready to face the All Blacks this year i not so sure. Luckily their are blokes that are a lot more qualified than me that will...

i thought he was quite good in the second test and third tests against france. his set piece work cant be faulted

Yeh it seemed like a few of our serious players looked out of sorts after the lions tour. no doubt a mentally draining season

it does when you add that one match to his good form in the june test series. i think he clearly the favourite to start on the bench against the all blacks. starting to get a bit of a roll on too. the game against the tahs will be the big test

just saw the force team sheet. strong side. the pack looks particularly good. The backrow of MMM/McCalman/Hodgson is test quality. I think the players coming from the wallabies squad should play with a lot of intensity. Force by 7

A few random comments That brumbies team looks pretty solid, even with the injuries they have. Really looking forward to this game as a neutral supporter. I'll be cheering on the Tahs though, because I'd like to see a home grand final in Sydney. I saw some advertisements for the tahs on FTA...

Yeh I don't see how the Bleck get any advantage. Although Australia have in recent years been notoriously slow starters so I would prefer not to face the blecks first.

Romain Poite will probably be doing the same thing from the sideline in the first bledisloe
