Leota, Tuipulotu, Uelese all both 19 and in their U19 year for the Rising, and Valetini is 17. Think that's our share easy. Plus Fox, Tumualealiifano and Tupai are all from the U20s this year, which is different, but still worth calling youth IMO.

Woody says no, Harris says yes.

What can we do in the short term to fix it? Where are Sauni and Aupuni off to? Can understand the perspective of someone like Sauni though. 4 hookers at the Rebels, one a club stalwart, one a regular Wallaby squad member, 2 Victorians, one the Aus U20s hooker, the other preventing him from...

Hosea confirmed he's coming home I think. No idea about Hunt.

Going back a couple of years, and I think we could suggest Tala Gray was shortchanged by a Chieka promise, gave up a couple of years of good European money for a Super opportunity that never came.

Sio starting, Mayhew as the benchy, Sione as the backup. Not bad.

A good number of Top14 squads can put out a best XV at similar levels of quality to Toulon, and that's before you consider teams like Wasps and Saracens. In addition, the war of attrition style a number of, shall we say, less talented squads often manage to drag the players into the 10 man...

C'est la vie. That's the problem with those we're not quite sure are up to Scratch eh? As a development tool, we're not happy using the Rising to develop them, and absent utterly dominant performances a lá Sefa and Nayacalevou a few years ago, no one is going to give them a shot straight from...

I think I'm supporting you BR. Assuming all things are on a relative scale, a competent but well balanced side should be able to exploit the weakness of a similar to slightly higher quality side that is unbalanced, unless those players are all exceptional at the corresponding level. You guys...

Not sure Alex is right for the Rising, don't buy his 6' self reported height, and is still somewhat skinny. Would love to see him get a run at the Sevens though, particularly with Fa'ala'avau taking a year off from the circuit.

By and large agree. Case in point, Lloyd's second try against you blokes this week. 3 on 3 on the outside. Openside v Openside, Wing v Wing, Inside back v Inside Back. Key difference here is the mobility of Tupai v Butler. Obviously relative size of English and Johansson v Coleman and...

Sure about Bauer? He was certainly here for the 10 or so Uni months specifically, and I read somewhere that he was doing something at RMIT. Ah well, happy to concede. Fereti at tighthead only because he played there at the weekend, and Tyler looked a specialist loosehead. He looked to have put...

Bauer went back to South Africa after his exhange year at RMIT. Don't know where Frank Amituanai ended up. OJ Noa is obviously up in the ACT with the Vikings RLM, Reuben Rolleston, Junior Paila and Martin Naufahu are still around I think. Naufahu was in the Tonga training squad for the...

Also: a) Team of the year 2016 b) Best possible team currently playing in the Dewar Shield c) potential Rising team if there were no Rebels players Could be three quite different teams, but all could fill the criteria you asked for. Would it be (b) or (c) you're looking for? Edit: Having...

I'd call him a posh Edinburgh wanker, but unfortunately I think he's a Caledonia man at heart.
