50 minutes gone, 12-23 to the Brumbies. Not sure who scored recently for the Brumbies? Could anyone enlighten me please

Justin Marshall is probably as impartial as you can get for a Kiwi commentator, almost excruciatingly so to the point where he disagrees with referee decisions against opposing team for the sake of it. On another note, omit G Smith and Speight from my fantasy team - they score meat pies..

Terrible call by Keith Brown; it was under his control in the grasp of his hand and wrist

You'd have to add Shipperly to that list as well because he has an ARU top up

You can't be serious. If Palu played for double the amount of time, which is about equal to Auelua's total playing time, he would have more runs, more tackles, more offloads, and more linebreaks.

Force. Again.

I understand where you are coming from but as it's said in the article, the training camp runs for two days so not sure why the Reds contingent of the Wallabies can't be involved on Monday, unless the decision to omit Cooper was deliberate (hard to know because they haven't named the whole squad...

You'd have to think that Meyer would be crazy not to bring in some debutants for these June tests. It would be the ideal time to prep young players for TRC as they play Scotland, Italy and Argentina, who are on the bottom end of the Tier 1 nations - top end of the tier 2.

A number of players have been invited to a training camp over the next few days Forwards: Tendai Mtawarira, Jannie du Plessis, Frans Malherbe, Coenie Oosthuizen, Pat Cilliers, Adriaan Strauss, Bismarck du Plessis, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Eben Etzebeth, Flip van der Merwe, Juandré Kruger...

MMM out for at least 6 weeks

CFS?

Colin Slade played for Canterbury, enough said ;) But in all seriousness, the All Blacks have a void at 1, 12, 13, 14. Ben Franks is 29 now but his move to the Hurricanes seems to have done him the world of good, and with Woodcock not getting any younger, and not playing very well. The cupboard...

I thought I would use your post to make some changes to what I think is the form XV so far. :)

With the lack of quality options at 7, I find it strange Gatland would confine himself to picking players from every competition but the Top14, seeing as Armitage is clearly the standout in the Northern Hemisphere, along with Tipuric. He was very good in hte Toulon quarter final, and actually...

Alot of very good, young flankers playing well in Super Rugby. Arno Botha, Lappies Labuschagne, Wimpie van der Walt, Cornell du Preez to name the standouts. I like the look of Cobus Reinach as well; a very snappy passing, strong runner for someone of his size.

Might be worth investing in the Saveas if they are both on the field at the same time. They look like they go out to outplay each other as siblings do

judging by the gloating of the commentators, and also some of involvements - it looks like POC in on the plane to Oz
