I actually think Hooper should start. He was great last year and is starting to hit form. Lucky for you I was just expressing my opinion and in the second paragraph I mention we have 3 really good options, Smith being one of them.

I personally don't want Smith to play. Nothing against him, I'm a huge fan, but he made a decision to leave Aust rugby and other guys have stood up. Hooper was outstanding last year and is starting to find that form again. Gill has been a revelation this year for the Reds. He has been close to...

I think the Lance move makes sense. They need depth at 10 as outside Foley they have no one for next year. He can cover Foley, play 12 if required and play 15 in Folau is gone. In Qld he is playing 15 but only does the shit part of the role. No chance to run with the ball and just make heaps...

Holmes is the forgotten man of Australian rugby. He's been going really well for the Reds this season.

I'd take it.

That's what I thought.

Stallion I don't disagree with your comment that it's not fair. But Premier Rugby is the 3rd tier. It has its place in the rugby landscape. In the past players would play for the Reds or Wallabies and still run out for their club on the same weekend. I am sure many of the current players would...

The problem is that Premier rugby isn't the pinnacle of the sport. It receives funding as it is a pathway to elite rugby. If you don't want elite players to play then hand back the ARU funding. Guys know what Super players are involved in the different clubs. If they want to play all year then...

IF he's gone it should be after the domestic test season at the earliest. From the people I spoken to Digby's manager makes Khoder Nasser seem like a good bloke.

My comment was very much tongue in cheek.

Yeah we just picked up 4 more at work. Could only buy in pairs but still tickets available.

I think this is our best backline. Good to see Albert Anae get his first start for the Reds. Great reward for a great guy.

I ran in just after 10 and had to remember my login but still managed tickets. For the first release I was at my computer ready to go and missed out.

The flip side of your argument is that we miss the opportunity to watch possible up and comers getting the experience playing against Super players. I agree that it does cause issues. Sometimes the players come back and preform and the team wins. Other times the Super players return and it...

Just picked up 4 platinum tickets to the test in Brisbane. They're on the try line close to the field but it's going to be awesome.

They can not play for Australia unless they have lived here over 3 years. No one has been picked up from the JRWC to play for the Aust U20 team.

Cheika might be in the running for the gig for the 2019 RWC. If he can get the Waratahs to the finals regularly then he'll be considered. But as Qwerty says he hasn't done much yet. They are sitting in 11th spot. Hickey did better with the team in terms of results in his first year from memory.

Who have they selected that isn't eligible to play for the Wallabies under IRB regulations? No one. Yes guys play for other JRWC teams one year and Aust the next but they were either born here or have lived here for over 3 years. I know at least 10 guys from the last 6 years who have lived in...

Australia won't pick players who haven't fulfilled the residential qualifications for any national team, or at least this used to be the case. I know guys who played qld schools and were told they wouldn't be picked for the Aust schools team as they were in there first or second year of residency.

It would be interesting to hear what this restructure will cost. It's looking like too many cooks in the kitchen to me.
