Really got under their skin, didn't he. One of the better performers on the ground, admittedly among many on both sides. On the subject of good performances, the Ref had a cracker - every other on the weekend was very poor.

Scott played 7 against the Tahs in the trial match. Is more a tackling machine than pilferer imo. Played a few Super Rugby games at 8 last year.

Most fortunate for all of us down here, Rob didn't get an opportunity to spoil the Brumbies jersey. We'd all prefer you Reg in the row to RS.

Great to see Faalelei Sione back in a Super Rugby squad. Where's he been since finishing with the Brumbies some years ago. I had thought that he and Tyrell Lomax would make a strong front row for the Brumbies around the time Sio, Ala'alatoa and Slipper wanted to call it a day. Hope he plays well and...

All of those current players are wingers, including a couple of Wallabies/squad members. Mack was first and foremost a fullback, where he understandably rated behind the current Wallaby No 15 in the squad. The fact that he had some outstanding games at wing for the Brumbies in 2021 (and is now a...

Have to say I'm happy with that prospect if it happens. IMO Simone is at least the second best No 10 in the squad. I was a bit surprised though that CFS didn't make the XX111 as I reckon Simone at 10 and CFS at 12 could be devastating (well at least very effective).

Hmm. Corey Toole? Ring a bell?

Reported in the Canberra Times that McKellar will announce his team for Sunday this afternoon. Expected that most positions will be filled by last year's Wallaby squad players with the No 7 spot in most contention. Options for the 7 jersey are, Jahrome Brown, Rory Scott and Luke Reimer. Brown...

Make that Sunday, I think, Reg, and at 2pm local (ECDST) time. .

I blame the absence of Daylight Saving putting too much load on the network.

Guilty as charged M'Lud. In my defence, I didn't realise so many Tahs' fans suffered from collective guilt complex, Yeronna, to the extent they would see it necessary to continue the denials across something like the average number of points they scored in SR2021, ie about 6 pages. Anyway, I...

I expect there would be some unintended consequences of this change S. Throws could be directed well beyond the outside shoulder giving the opposition no chance at all of competing for the ball whether they jump or not. Otoh, the opposition could counter by jumping for everything (probably as...

I had the same thought on Petaia, TSR. Why I raised his name as an omission.

Petaia?

Anyone have details on the intra-club trial this weekend? Time and venue?

Being reported here that there is a chance both those dates could be brought forward. But probably doesn't matter anyway because the returning KIWIS from later this month will ensure Omicron will get a stranglehold well before any broader opening of the borders can be contemplated.

Overall impressions. Tahs could have won by more, but never looked like losing. Brumbies handling and game tactics both pretty awful. Tahs No 6 in red head gear player of the match. Donaldson played as good as I've seen him. Best No 10 on the ground. Brumbies didn't show much in the way of...

That's true Adam, but he sourced most of his players from other sports where they had already displayed their superior athletic abilities. That, together with a bit of rugby knowledge he brought to them, allowed our women's 7s to dominate early on until other countries did the same. It was a...

No 6, red head gear - player of the match for me.

Thanks Reg - a few names unknown to me in that lot, though the main XV is not far removed from what I expected.
