He could if he gets bigger, but we don't know what an additional 10kg will do to his speed and athleticism. It could make him better or worse. But at 100kg he's really stuck in the long line of sevens. Having said that, he might yet turn out to be the best seven. He's only 20.

Damn right. What does he mean, "hasn't decided?" We're entitled to know everything, instantly, even before it happens if necessary. Greg Growden understood this, and had the simple human decency to make stuff up when officials weren't forthcoming with information that supporters need - deserve -...

Seriously? What was the good Canterbury Wallaby jersey?

Get with the program, please gel! The national team jersey is a fashion item and as such is worthless without a proper collar, so the girls (erm, I mean boys) can wear it down to the shops on a Saturday night. I was dead-set depressed when the national swim team ignored my preferred...

It would be even more impressive if he make a Wallaby squad when it is inconceivable that he should. ;)

Really? Then we need some of those subbies halfbacks is the national setup. Most of our recent international offerings haven't been able to pass off the ground at all, let alone both sides.

Genia has also lost his speed. There was a time when he was as fast as anyone over a short to medium distance, but now he's sorely lacking iin pace.

Stirzaker seems like precisely the right kind of player for the kind of game Chieka is likely to play: he's fast to the breakdown, snipes, rarely box kicks, and has a good pass off the ground to both sides.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, since in most cases they weren't good enough. We're much stronger in the tight five especially, and across the three quarter line and fullback. The big casualties have been the three Amigos. With the exception of Cooper, I prefer their replacements. I may be...

I like the way the Bok jersey pays homage to the great traditions of South African rugby. It comes pre-equipped with armbands.

I think Speight at his best is our best winger, then daylight. But an inform Speight and Mitchell would be pretty darned good! We'd probably have the equal best back three.

It's not Cheika making those statements about picking players to play a particular style, but Internet posters. I think we need to damn Chieka for what he does, not what we think he will or won't do. If he really does ignore the best talent in order to play a particular style of rugby, and...

I did read (and have now re-read) your post. I have to say the meaning you've now provided didn't stand out.:)

Consistent performance over the course of a season is a much better measure of superiority than a single head-to-head contest. Rugby isn't a one-man knockout sport.

Naiyaravoro had an interesting game last night. The Waratahs used him as a battering ram 8, not without merit either.

It's a shame he wants to do so in France.

Tomane and Speight would be my wingers, then daylight.

Is that rumour #173 or #173?

At least Fardy performing at line out calling for the Brumbies gives us cover, including during games. Simmons and Fardy should start, meaning either can be subbed.

It was in 2008, after his long injury. The consensus then was that he'd never get properly fit for rugby, which thankfully turned out to be false.
