If only Liam Messam could be cloned to play 1>8 then they'd have a chance.

This would be 22 if they were to play on the weekend. Forward pack looks to be pretty strong, suprisingly due to the inclusion of Ma'afu 1- Cowan 2-Charles 3- Ma'afu 4- Wykes 5- Sharpe (c) 6- Hodgson 7- Pocock (vc) 8- McCalman 9- Sheehan 10- Stannard 11-Cummins 12- Stanley 13-...

You're pretty much spot on there. But you never know, the French props weren't the biggest/heaviest lads, and they tore sides to shreds, so maybe better scrummaging will come with experience. Many forget how young Dales is, if he learns to scrum properlly then he has potential to be one of the...

Judging from that squad I wouldn't be expecting anything for atleast 2 years from the Brumbies. If injuries occur, which they will, that squad does not really have the depth to cover. This will be a rebuilding period for the side and hopefully the develop alot more younger stars for future years.

Gotta say I disagree on many of those selections 1- Nicolas Mas 2- Bismark du Plessis 3- Martin Castrogiovanni 4- Paul O'Connell 5- James Horwill 6- Sean O'Brien 7- David Pocock (hard to pick one out of Warburton, McCaw, Dusatouir, Brussouw). 8- Sergio Parisse 9- Will Genia (also hard...

Jordie Tupou I think he was injured for the start of the season but when he came back he had some great games. Definatly plays well above his weight and age.

Well few Easts boys who I rate very highly include Dom Fuller (halfback) who recently trialled with the Force and Toby White (Outside Center) Both been very great for the past few seasons and have potential to play a higher level. Captain Luke Bertini (flanker) has been amazing for Easts...

I'd love to see Drew Mitchell captain just because I can't remember the last winger/captain.

I actually think the line-out is a massive issue. Having no quality experienced lock is tough, especially when it would benefit young up and comers Pyle and Jones. Al Campbell and O'Neil are decent players but not the leading second rower you want. This isn't helped by Saffy, Lipman and Delve...

I love Dusatouir, great player and had a good tournment and a brilliant final.....but fucking hell, how does this even work? Kaino, Nonu and Pocock all ahead of him I would of thought.

I'm more disapointed I have to hear from now even MORE arrogant NZers (is that even possible?)for the next 4 years

The one game France actually deserved to win they didn't I'm still filthy,

Okay this is ridiculous, are refs afraid to penalise McCaw? Not rolling away at almost every ruck

Harinordoquy killing it at the line-out French backrow have been amazing

Fuck yes France, choke choke choke

I'm just happy this is a good even game and not the blow-out onesided affair most predicted.
