That doesn't actually reflect reality does it SX? For about 10 years now all of the Brumbies players have been allocated to a John I Dent club in the local Canberra competition. When not required for Super they play for their allotted team. It has resulted in a stronger local competition as...

Not picking my team WTF. Just what I think Rennie and MacKellar will do.

I'm with Swingpass, incumbency will mean a lot at least for the first test. Nick Frost will be the sole uncapped player imo but he is the future right here and now at lock (is Lonergan capped? FIIK). Extremely skillful and most like Rory Arnold for height at lineout time a nd disruptive...

Thanks Wilson. The whole deal about eligibility is pretty murky aint it? I thought, eg, that with the intervention of Covid, the three year period was extended but only if the player in question actually was selected and played in a six month period. Otherwise the eligibility period stood at 5...

No room for Gamble, or is he not eligible? Would have to be in the running for SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) Rookie of the year. Has it been determined that Uru is eligible?

Like most of that squad. Agree that Hooper, if fit, will be there, maybe at 6 if not lock. Otherwise, I'd have Pasitoa at 10 in place of Donaldson and Kuenzle at centre in place of To'omua or Stewart. Is Uru eligible? Seems to be some doubt about his eligibilty.

Blues will be at home Wamb. Blues have many more dangerous players than the Cru this year and the game is theirs for the taking.

Credit to BB for picking Tom out with his kick.

That should keep these foureyes interesting.

A lot of talk about not taking penalty kicks towards the end of the game. In my mind turning down two chances early in the first half was more deleterious. The idea early in a game is to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Later in the game there is more argument for going for tries if still...

No, Gel is a passed off, spoilt, little-minded ex Reds supporter. Really sad, because his posts used to be well worth a read.

C'mon KOB. Would you deprive some Brumbies the honour of appearing in the weekly list of the best? I won't be posting a TOTW for my own reasons, but I'd have Gamble at 7 (he played 6 but he was the best 7 going round on the weekend), Peitsch at 11 and give serious thought for Crieghton at 10...

On the Ikitau incident, I reckon Coles was very lucky to not get Yellow for his shoulder dive on Nic White on the ground. Just wasn't looked at in the discussion about Len's impact which rightly earned Red.

Hooper started RN and I'm pretty sure played the whole game. But I agree with your sentiment otherwise. Hooper MOTM for me.

Already is D. and a couple of others as well. ATM, Rodda is the over-hyped lock in the country. Excellent at lineout but overtaken by at least Philip, Swain, Smith, Neville, Holloway and Frost in defence and especially with ball in hand.

Penalty count against the Brumbies is typical of any game they are officiated by Damon Murphy. And a good percentage of his decisions is unfathomable to say the least.

Scott Sio starting with Slipper on the bench.

I have it on good authority that as the incoming Australian Minister for Defence, Poey will declare war on NZ as early as next week.

Thank you. Whoever played at 14 for the Force. Wingers were especially poor all round imo and I cannot pick either of Mataele or Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) given the number of tackles each missed.
