Wamb, in case you haven't noticed, some Reds fans here turn almost any and every thread into a discussion of the next big thing to come out of the Hospital Cup. Names that nobody else has ever heard of suddenly appear in threads about the Force, Tahs, rebels and Brumbies, but especially in the...

I don't agree with the assessment of Petaia, but I do agree with the sentiment being expressed here.

And getting better week by week. Won't surprise me if they go better against the NZ sides than either of the Reds or Brumbies (this year).

Spelling his name and comments about his skills both were wrong PP. Lonergan is one of the better lineout throwers in the country. His game against the Force recently was probably the best illustration of lineout throwing I've seen in a long time. His scrummaging might be another matter atm...

Since when have the Waratahs worn red?

Just a little bit of hyperbole there BH. "hard-hitting Swinton", "abrasive Swinton", though I do agree with the latter. Is he really a favourite of Dave Rennie? I thought Rob Leota had effectively displaced him as the test No 6 with Wilson left with a few things to work on, which on the evidence...

As one who identified Corey as a player to watch while he was still just playing JID comp, I would now say he needs a couple of years at 7s and clubland before taking on Super Rugby. I fear his defence would presently let him down at this level.

Not Kellaway's best game by a long shot. Interestingly, Lacey was on the other wing with Kellaway in the U20s. Lacey last night outplayed AK (Andrew Kellaway) most of the game and beat him all ends up in scoring his try. Kuenzle had a wow of a game. Philip again strong and impactful. Matt To'omua's best game...

Imagine what Kerevi at 12 would do for Noah, or any young No 10 for that matter. Confidence of being able to pass on to the strongest running centre in world rugby. I think Noah would benefit a lot more from having a straight, hard running No 12 than another playmaker at 12.

Don't know why Edmed (and Donaldson and Harrison) attract so much discvussion about moving them to other spots. Aussie rugby is short on No 10s and here are three who should be encouraged to play there and see how far they can go. Based on the past couple of weeks, I reckon Edmed might be the...

Think you mean Ruan, Hawko, not JP.

Right decision imo and happy to see it not recorded as a red card on his record.

Matt To'omua's biggest fan over the years but also one of the first to call him out for lack of form last year and this. Very satisfying to see him have a better game on the weekend but for a rookie Edmed was outstanding playing against the likely Wallaby No 10.

Ii Baulking? Both ok apparently, but with a "u" is supposedly favoured in Aus use.

That being so, Reg, I'll have to replace him. Looks like it'll have to be Edmed despite his intercept pass that ended the Tahs chances.

Additional lock - Connor Vest has history with Cron.

Surprised so many selecting Kane Koteka. Excellent player and had a strong game against the Brumbies but even in that game alone i reckon Brown finished as the best No 7. Didn't pick him in the TOTW as I’m not sure he's Wallaby eligible. Same for Nu'u at the Rebels this week.
