Well there's 6 Brumbies in the forwards and 1 Red.

Their odds just went from 100s to 15s

At super level for sure. Helped having an in form Foley at 10 and Folau at 15 though. His skill set is more suited to fullback.

based on what?

Ah OK, my bad.

Because Brumbies hookers are the bestest. Great to see Perese get a (potential) debut.

it will be interesting to see how many Australians are in the USA side at the 2027 RWC. Hoilsey might even get a run.

Yes, which isn't as silly as it sounds. There's an international airport there - the Kiwi teams could clear customs there.

I think there shouldn't be a limit on caps but also that it should only be one way. I can cop that Pocock might want to go and give Zimbabwe a leg up to play out his twilight years, but not that Mike AAA decides he made a mistake and wants to switch to NZ or Australia. Tier 1 to Tier 1 is an...

I read it that way too. I don't think there was any entitlement involved.

It’s a schmoozing exercise to try to lock in their allegiance before we can - same with Louis and to a lesser extent the hooker that no one had heard of until Eddie picked him. Maybe one or all will go on to play 100 tests, and good on them if so. But until they actually get capped they’re...

I thought he was back up for Muirhead? I didn’t mind him as a player but he left our shores to ply his trade in Europe before he could even crack the Brumbies starting side, I doubt he’s high up on Rennie‘s hit list. He’d need to commit to Aus rugby before he even gets a tackling bag holding...

I’d say your Tah mates Maddocks and Dempsey.

The simplest way to do it would be to base it on World rankings at the time (or a given time before the tournament to allow for the draw) and have a grand slam type comp. First round 1 v 9, 2 v 10, etc down to 8 v 16. Winners go through and the losers go to the Cup/Challenge comp. Not much...

Sure, but if the RFU are to sign off on this thing there will almost certainly be a 'never to be in the Europe Group' clause attached.

England in 'the Europe Group'. :D:D Yeah, can see that happening.....

Beale to be called up. Shock horror. Cue the rants from BR and a few Qlders. I'm OK with the Jap player thing. When they were signed neither the players nor the clubs were expecting them to be able to be picked for the Wallabies. Japan is a perfect solution for us going forward with respect...

Yes you would think they would apply some rational logic to it rather than purely which way the water drains down the sink.

its still the same type of prejudicial garbage that was trotted out about Quade and JOC (James O'Connor) before their recalls. anyway will leave it alone now. Sounds like he’s in the frame if Hodge doesn’t come good.
