It sounds like he would've taken the Leicester job even if Rennie was still in charge... I think long term it's the right move into shoring up his credentials, and I'm sure he would've known he was unlikely to get the Wallabies gig if Rennie had gone post-RWC.

Not if the contributors from the fifth team make up just over half the voting bloc…

I agree, although BR has a point… I looked after this thing last year (and the year prior) and while you see some patterns in people’s voting, there was certainly a majority fan base of one team that dominated the votes which resulted in some problems: - petty parochialism - last years MVP...

Valetini, AAA, and Jorgensen were the three Aussies to make rugbypass’ TOTW… https://www.rugbypass.com/news/super-rugby-team-of-the-week-r1/

Ikitau is really something special... A couple of forgettable kicks in that last 15 mins, but otherwise he just looked to create something with every touch - great running lines, breaking off tackles and the offloads. Agree about what's been mentioned of Samu - looked invisible which is...

I'm pretty sure Eddie's up in Queensland this week for the televised* game... *for the Octagenarians

God no, never again…

Ben Mowen, Brumbies 2012.

Sooooo.... Hamish Stewart isn't going to play flyhalf?
