Oh dear. Couldn't they have included a couple more design elements to clutter it up a bit more? I also thought the Convicts team was Sydney based? Those bars look more appropriate for their jersey.

There's a big difference now with the Force and Rebels fully ensconced in their cities and with their squads playing in the local state competition. The Force have a Super squad of 35. Lets say 3 of that squad make the Wallabies and 5 are in rehab. That's 27 Perth-based players living in...

We're gonna miss Kingston this year, I think he's one that got away.

TPN didn't have a lot of football this year, he has spent a fair bit of time in team rehab. He's not due back till the first week of January, so he'll get a good break before he's back on the park. I think that will help with his durability for the Super season. He has also modified his...

His nickname was Ilie Tabua, the human skewer!

Has Cheika got a plan to convert Lam to a 2 or is this just a case of him helping out? I would have thought Lam might be a bit lightweight for scrummaging, though to me he seems to play above his weight around the park.

Betham only made the Wallabies because Crawford was crocked. McKenzie alluded to it (didn't directly say it but implied it) at the time. Crawford is by far the more complete player, especially defensively, and can cover full back in a game if injury strikes. And if you think Betham is better...

Has the Force been kicked out of Super Rugby? Matt Hodgson isn't a banjo plucker either!

The players voting makes sense to me and would mirror my team.....except Sam Warburton wasn't the fifth best openside flanker in 2013. McCaw, Cane, Hooper, Louw and Dusautoir were all in front of him IMO. Also, though I might be wrong, I thought Fofana played 13 not 12???

Zinzan Brook was also a very complete footballer. One of those who could turn a whole match in a moment of brilliance. Comparisons between eras is notoriously hard, as a Wallaby supporter I'd be equally worried if Read or Brooke was on the teamsheet.

Faulkner is not even starting for his province and Longbottom still has not out scrummed all the best Australian props. They might make it but they are nowhere near it yet.

Timani was a non-jumper, mainly I think because of his ability to frequently drop the ball. Skelton does jump, can take throws (my memory says he took several against the Force) and has good hands. His problems are twofold: firstly he has still got L plates on, and won't be the full article...

Have you read the comments section? Talk about feral. If those guys came on here they wouldn't last 48 hours!

Needs an irony icon!

NO! I've been a Tah supporter since the late 60's so I am intimately acquainted with the history and I still remember walking back to my car after the first final thinking I'd seen a cracking game but that realistically we did just not believe we could win it enough. Then I watched Kurtley get...

I think that Chieka should try Kurtley at 13 in the trials. He is an absolute genius in unlocking defences with his step and off-loading in traffic and he is seriously fast. He is very good at setting up wingers for tries as he has done from 15 at Waratah and Wallaby level. His one-on-one...

So new they didn't even have time to iron it! The Marketing Director will be seriously pissed (off).

I don't know if this has been posted before (its 767 comments to check) but I just re-read the first five pages of this thread and I reckon there are a number of posters who wish they could go back and delete what they wrote. Kudos to Quick Hands and Paris Tah, who could see the benefit he...

I loved the home jersey for the Blues in 2013, but this one leaves me cold. Both Chiefs outfits seem to be very Maori inspired, pity if you are not in the right club. Crusaders home jersey needs more black and the Highlanders home jersey is just boring. The less said about the lime green...

The overall draw makes sense from a travel perspective, but they should turn it around every second year (round 6 becomes round 1, round 5 becomes round 2, etc.) to even up some of the possible outcomes. If Aust or NZ lose the first two rounds in a year then they are effectively out of the...
