Talking about Ned Hanigan’s impact stats is getting dull, thought it was close enough to starting focusing on game 1. Presumably we will roll out our strongest team for this, how does that look?

A couple of reasons maybe - 1. at the time he was probably in consideration with Neville, Frost and Hanigan, and 2. he could get called in if there is an injury

Teddy Wilson. He is David Wilson’s son - just to clarify as I know about 8 David Wilson’s, the Wallabies #7 from the millennium era

It’s good to see that Women’s rugby is no different to men’s in that they forensically examine every potential Aussie foul play until they find a card and don’t even check a NZ dodgy head high or try.

We dont need 3 teams, we need 8-10

I’m looking forward to watching it too, I’ve heard it is quite scathing but mostly the current administration towards the former one. Definitely should be good watching, I dont have a Foxtel account so I’m looking to trial one

I’m good with that - if I was good enough to be able to choose between a token bench spot for a touring Wallabies side or a potential role with Samoa at the RWC I’d do the same. Edit: having just reread your post I think your point was just that we wont be able to call on him for the EOYT...

Gleeson is in the squad only, I'm pretty sure I have never mentioned him. Kid has a future as does Pollard and no issues with either of them being educated, and for the record no issues with Pollard being selected v Argentina in the circumstances that were handed to us. Holloway v Frost is an...

It was actually a true statement. I'm trying to actually think who you are referring to? Holloway? I know you don't like him but I'm pretty sure he was a starter at the Tahs all year, sans maybe after an injury layoff. I'm also trying to find where I mentioned him - I certainly haven't...

All the big Brumbies locks/loosies were used up I believe

It's actually why it's called a test match believe it or not. It's actually not Billy Pollard that was the issue, think back a year

Only if you think the analysis shouldn't ask why a provincial 4th stringer was selected in the national team

It would certainly be a trend, and a consistent one. The issue here is that it's potentially taken a Bradbury situation for Simone to get a call up - he was great in the supe this year but his one appearance in gold and the lack of faith from the coaches is what suggests he isn't our guy...

I'm not sure if you are arguing with me or agreeing with me.

Depends, what was your opinion of Eto Nabuli in his. Would you pick him again? Im also going to say that I don’t have anything personally against any of these players, they are far superior to anything I ever achieved on the pitch. Point is we want to make sure our best available players are...

I’ll agree with your second paragraph but as for the last the point I was making is we don’t know if players like Stewart, even Tom English (past) etc are a better option because they aren’t going to be given the opportunity. I know the coach makes the call, and usually I trust said call, but it...

well at least you are showing your hand now TT, I was wondering who you support

I'll say that it's hard to argue against this, however it's also hard to say it's completely right because we didn't get a look at the alternatives. Foketi for example, was written off by many but in Bled 1 at least was a revelation. He will no doubt now be subbed by another Brumbie in Simone...

No one disputes that. But its not 1999

I'd probably swing that around and say he's decided to have a run for Samoa because he's been overlooked in the Wallabies squad as the first choice Rebels hooker by the Brumbies 4th choice hooker
