Not according to Doran…

The colours of the state tartan appears to be the only official mention of state colours from the Vic Govt... Edit: it takes a deep dive to find an official mention of 'silver and blue.'

Well... blue, white green and pink. https://www.vic.gov.au/victorias-state-emblems

According to GeeRob... Eddie apparently pitched a succession plan to McKellar: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/mckellar-latest-to-flee-in-the-wallabies-big-quit-20230222-p5cmh9.html

Good for McKellar, bad for the Wallabies.. But if he can find some success with Leicester he will only come back as a better coach.

Crimes also reporting McInerney will start for the Brumbies…

Anyways, apparently this loosehead prop who was just invited to the Brumbies on a trial basis late last year and as far as I'm aware was not part of the official squad, will start ahead of James Slipper this week...

Their fans will be relieved they weren’t playing the Reds?

McKellar - forwards DuPlessis - scrum Wisemantel - attack Laurie - defence/breakdown - which has also been his role at the Brumbies the last few seasons, but will revert back to forwards coach under Bernie

Probably not surprising as Laurie was brought in to look after defence, and Eddie loves his ex-league defence coaches and there was just a lot of focus around Maguire…

Unfortunately the Crimes is paywalled, so can't get any information on the specifics except its' supposedly a significant multi-year deal... From the Brumbies release:

According to Christy, Holloway is set to turn down the Euros and re-sign for two more years with the Tahs… https://www.theroar.com.au/2023/02/14/exclusive-wallabies-forward-set-to-turn-down-massive-deal-in-france-to-stay-with-waratahs/

OK...

I know you're just trolling, but I have to ask... What are they distracting us from exactly? In my view the only thing that RA wouldn't want people noticing is their win/loss record from last year...

I read somewhere it was his foot, but have heard nothing else…

From what I've seen of the highlights... tackling Ikitau was only optional.

Derp derp derp derp derp...
