Is Jonker on another planet? This blokes a joke. Also, i feel for Barnes, the pill he gets from Burgess is inconsitant and poor

Great turnaround. I enjoyed the intent the Stormers had in attack (whilst exicution wasnt that good), players like Burger, Aplon and the two centers stood up.

For the first time I can confidently say the CHEETAHS will win easily. Melbourne's first half against the Bulls was pathetic.

if Fourie and De Villiers were playing I would of given the Stormers a good chance of winning, now I can't really see it happening

So true, there is no one else in world rugby that can do what Quade does in attack.

Yeah getting a bit sick of waiting, as Tank said, Carter got his out in the open quickly

I think the Kiwi one will be better, cannot wait

Caught most of Easts vs Wests, bit of a scrappy game. Great try to former Aus Schoolboy James Klaasen (although he has gone missing in games since high school). The no.12 also impressed for Easts defensivley. In the pack they have a strong lock combination whilst the two props Russell and Big...

Elsom is a must for the world cup, the bloke is a quality player. But i think what most people are saying is that he has to start playing if he wants the first shot at the 6 jersey. He will 100% go to the WC. Raises the question if he will be dropped as captain as well. On Horne, the lack of...

Every week for the past month the media has said he will annouce that week, he needs to hurry up. I think people are overlooking the Force, i will not be suprised at all if he stays. I would love to see him in The red of QLD

Kahn Fotai'li and Mahroni Schwalger in NZ are both Samoan internationals

It's been like that for the last few seasons now, always in and out with injury, shame with a player with so much wallaby potential

On another topic, when is Peter Hynes and Rod Davies expected back, if at all? I haven't heard anything about either for a while, I know Rockets is a bit more serious, but Hynes would be close wouldnt he?

Yeah thats a good starting side, but I think O'Connor would be wasted on the wing, he is a good all round 12 (i dont know why some people think he cant tackle, he is a strong defender), needs to get his hands on the pill. Plus the style Giteau plays these days doesnt really fit that backline...

I really doubt Rob Simmons and Greg Holmes will play, I think they definatly weren't "speaking clearly" haha.

Props : Robinson, Slipper, Alexander Kepu Hooker: Tatafu, Moore, Saia Fainga'a Locks: Horwill, Sharpe, Simmons, Pyle (very impressed with this lad, I would have him over Vickerman even if he does play a few S15 games) Backrower: Elsom, Pocock, Palu, McCalman, Higginbotham, Hodgson Scrumhalfs...

I hope Horne gets his chance, I rate him, and our outside center stocks are pretty low right now. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is on the wing for some strange reason, and Digby doesn't have the passing game to play outside either. So I hope he gets a shot

Yeah there is a few spots up for grabs, especially the reserve wing/fullback where anyone of Morahan, Gerrard, Shepherd, McCabe and turner could get in. I dont know if horne will have enough chances to prove himself before selection would he? When is he expected to be back?

13 backs: Genia, Phipps, Burgess, Cooper, O'Connor, Barnes, Giteau, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Ioane,Beale, Turner, Mitchell (Morahan/McCabe ect), Shepherd Thats pretty effective.

I've always just gone on the assumption of the 13/17 split. If it was only a 14/16 split then someone like Higginbotham or McCalman might miss the cut. But i think its a bit early to start talking about splits, cause if we do its gonna do my head in! haha
