We're not talking about a lot of players, though are we? I've just had a look at the Top 14 table, and Toulon, Montpellier, Clermont, Toulouse, Racing Metro and Castres are qualified for the finals. Of those teams, there's not that many "stars" who have played many tests and many domestic...

Not having a dig at you BDA, but it is quite fanciful to pick a lock who has only accumulated 2(?) lineout takes in super rugby thus far. What other Tier 1 nation in the world picks locks who hardly jump? All Blacks: Whitelock & Retallick Sprinboks: Etzebeth & Kruger/van der Merwe Poms...

It would solve our scrum problems, that's for sure.

Butler has been playing 7 at the Brumbies since Pocock's injury.

Everything's going the Blues way. I knew the Reds win odds were too good to be true. And as I type, the Blues get the bonus point. 32-0 with the kick to come.

Or as Kafe likes to call him, "Lewwwwwwwwwweilua"

West is best ;)

For money and to be closer to his family. Just look at Higgers: took the bigger money on offer at the Rebels, not exactly Super Rugby powerhouses (as yet Rebels fans). Not saying Cottrell would or would not go to the Reds because I'm not privy to his thought process. Further, not sure whether...

Clearly you're in a time warp, because a) Alby has been out for three weeks due to injury, and Prior has started for the Force, and b) that "aging ex-all black" has been the standout scrumhalf in the Australian conference, better than Genia and Frisby.

Up against a team hardened by the recent matches against the Saders, Lions and Rebels. They successfully managed to restrict all three to 0 comp points, such is their form of late. The belief in this Force team is palpable now, though, and should carry them home against the stumbling block...

Goodnight sweet prince.

Not bad, not bad at all

He's almost stepped in to replace Sharpie's absence, such is his impact. Wykes is constantly improving with his lineout organisation, but Steenkamp's tactical nous around the lineout is something else: he's just one of many Saffers deep-rooted with a high regard for forward and setpiece play...

Don't you mean Slipper and Luatua? Alexander struggled to score consistently in 2013 if I recall. Of course, this year it's Slipper whose struggled to do well in fantasy following his lengthened test duties. :)

Thought he was in the Chiefs WTG? SJK is going through more flyhalves then he has contracted!

Arguably the best backline on paper and a major reason for their form turnaround, the Hurricanes are able to easily put 30+ on a team, on their day. With maybe Jane the only underperformer in a backline with Perenara, Barrett, Savea, Leuia, Smith and Taylor, the Reds kicking game will need to...

On the match, thought we were noticeably flat and just struggled to bring the intensity from the preceding 5 matches into the game. The Force lacked composure in attack with Alby out, and Ebersohn made some unforced errors as a result of the pressure applied by the Rebels defence, compounding...

http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/dwyers-view-my-wallabies-squad/ @Hooly Doolly - I think you should take what Bob says in that article with a grain of salt... For one, he would drop our 3 most experienced props and include the inexperienced Toby Smith and Paul Alo Emile. He would also drop...

Holy hell that is one tough run of games. That Barbarians game would be the ideal time to play guys on the fringe of the Wallabies 23. But isn't there going to be a reduction in the number of players on tour to Europe this year?
