Fair enough Yes, my apologies. I did check and he started all 5 TT games. Should have checked before I posted.

If memory serves my right, wasn’t Fergus-Lee Warner off the bench as much as he started with the Force? Even more so with Uru at the Reds. I get the appeal in both these guys, but if they’re going to be Wallaby squad members I feel we should expect them to demand first choice selection at Super...

Ikitau is in the squad

I read an article recently about how WC winning teams always/almost always had an average age of 27/28. When I read it my immediate reaction was that this WC was one cycle too early for our current group. But, on reflection and looking at the guys who I think are likely to feature, we’ll be...

I like the selection of Leota & Wells. Surprised by the selection of Timani. Not so much the omission of Hosea - I think he’ll be a Wallaby soon enough but I don’t think his ommission at this point is a big issue.

I don’t think you can ever read too much info how a player is on the field vs off. They reckon Michael Ennis is the nicest bloke off the field. And I do think we have to accept that these guys played in eras where more was tolerated. Yes, they still stepped over the line - but not as far...

You do have to wonder whether Bakkies Botha would have survived as a pro rugby player in this era. He is probably the one other guy who I always thought just couldn’t keep himself in check. Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for a lot of his opponents, he played at a time when a lot more...

I’m thinking it’s more likely to be longer than 6 weeks if anything. Can they add weeks on for pure stupidity???

Well - he certainly had a crack at that blokes head. Pretty dumb.

I’m guessing not really

Haha - of course. How did I miss Grealy. Stand out seleection at 15

I’ll have a go at it. This is the squad I’d like to see, not necessarily what I think they’ll pick - Props: Bell, Slipper, Robertson, Ala'alatoa, Tupou, Fotuaika Hooker: Kaitu’u, Lonergan, I dunno - Uelese (I’ve left BPA given he is going OS - although I think Rennie will pick him), one of...

And now....... not so much

Everyone needs a hobby

Sorry - I don’t agree with the Yellow card. Apologies for the ambiguous post.

Sorry - I don’t agree with that at all.

Sure - but people keep including the fact that the Reds played 14 like it’s a disclaimer. But it’s never a disclaimer when the shoe is on the other foot for any of the Aussie teams. The Chiefs lost one player to lack of discipline and the other to pressure. One win is a poor outcome from TT...

Nice work Mark. Good to see the kid get one. Nice work from Harrison too

Swinton has been pretty good tonight.

Great - if you can work out a way for us to play consistently in one of the top European comps I’ll agree playing the Kiwis regularly at Super level becomes less critical. Edit- and I would argue it is doing very significant things for the likes of Valetini, Wilson, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Lolesio, Tupou, BPA...
