Hard to do with a pack going backwards

Rennie said that JOC (James O'Connor) will be good for next week

That’s very clever, slipping in an under the belt shot that means nothing to anyone. Not dissimilar to most of your other posts. Come back in a year and rate Rennies performance.

That’s probably right. I was not impressed with Neville. With all that up and coming talent going to him seems like a bit of a backward step. Hosea, Blyth, Swain and a few others are worth bringing through instead. In a few years we will once again look pretty solid with good test locks.

Forecast has it pretty dry between now and kickoff with some light rain after 8pm possible

Maddocks as well. In fact he could be worth a run very soon.

Blyth and Hosea are waiting in the wings. I’m not sure that I agree with Higgers re Neville. Rennie obviously wanted to take a look at him. He will do his job without setting the world on fire. Both Philip and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) have been very good and will only get better. It would be nice if Arnold could be...

Swinton was good but lost the ball a couple of times and was quick to get involved in the scuffles. Hosea was pretty strong in the set piece and trucking up the ball with a couple of offloads. How is his fitness? He looked to fall behind once or twice. Maddocks looks the goods out wide as a...

Just because its divisive does not mean that it should not be done or debated. In fact the opposite is most likely true.

Its not ideal but at least Paisami has been in the cauldron and now has some idea what its about. Got to have some insurance if Lolesio or Simone get overwhelmed. Im sure Harrison will get a run soon and hopefully JOC (James O'Connor) will be back next week. Very bad luck to lose JOC (James O'Connor) and MT in the same week.

Rennie can only choose from what’s available. That pack should be fine. Fair enough retaining Simmons. McReight is interesting. With the ABs returning to a more orthodox back row and without Savea we might have more on the ball presence late in the game.

It’s a bit risky only having one 10 in the 23. Very risky. They will target Noah L. ABs firm favourites but it will be good to watch. It’s a very young side. Maybe that’s what we need?

When can we expect a side to be named?

Vunawho?

Has to be Simone with Lolesio on the pine

Naisarani gets targeted less I would think. How does he fit in?

Naisaranis Super Rugby form this year has been punctuated with inaccurate play and poor ball security. Maybe it was a lack of fitness, but who knows? Where he will fit and who in the current back row stocks he will be more accurate than is anyone’s guess. He is certainly a more robust ball carrier than...

Naisarani? Interesting

This is not the place for it but Sendit has his head happily buried in the sand along with NFJ and a very big percentage of the rugby establishment in Australia. The pathways are and have always been very open for those coming through the private school system. We need to continue to take steps...

Bullshit. NFJs is a nob and is an accurate representation of the problem. It’s fucking ridiculous to suggest that there is little race inequality in Australia. For a well educated person he sure is an imbecile.
