Samo is way too inconsistant, and a bit too flashy for my opinion. Doing everything one handed won't work at international level. You'd assume they'd take 6 backrowers (they usually do dont they?). Palu, McCalman, Elsom, Higginbotham, Pocock, Hodgson Id love to pick Robinson, but Hodgson's...

He is out for the season I heard, did something to his jaw

Yeah I'd have McCalman (or Higginbotham if the selectors pick Elsom).

well to put this in perspective, neither of these players will be starting, so I don't see how Line-out options are really that important. From your reserve backrower you really aren't looking for them to be prolific line out jumpers when they come on. Both players would prove to be significant...

With the attacking threats the Stormers have in the backline, I have no idea why they continue to play the same bland style, even when teams have started to work them out. De Villiers, Fourie, Aplon, Habana can tear teams apart if given the opportunity. They desperatly need a creative 5/8 (that...

Reds easiest run home by far. Bulls and Waratahs have it tough, but I wouldn't say Crusaders have an easy run, Canes and CHiefs will be tricky if they don't get many of their injured back

Hodgson has been injured for half the season hasn't he? And he has been one of the most consistant players in the country for a while now. He just hasn't really had an opportunity to prove himself at international level yet. Robinson is playing so well, but as Mr Timms said, he is a straight up...

Why would Link want to rest the Reds two most influential players? That's ridiculous, they are pushing to win the comp. The coaches couldn't care less about the Wallabies right now, their jobs are too get the results for their provinces, not to wrap half their teams in cotton wool.

Samo is too inconsistant to play for Australia again

Wests weren't too bad. Toua, Brandon and White the tigers best

I think the timing of this game is perfect for the Reds. They have had their two average performances, they know the importance of this match, they know they got the week off next week. I just have a confidence about them for this game I haven't had when they played some other sides (ie...

1- Beale 2- Turner 3-Ioane 4- AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 5-Mitchell 6-Barnes/Giteau/Cooper 7-O'Connor Now don't know if everyone has realised that there is proper scrums in the hybrid game, so you need a front row on the park. Or at least hope your flankers can learn to scrum. If i was to go with a...

He is small, but he is a very strong defender, very similar to how his brother plays

I wouldn't be complaining :-D If we stay injury free we have a chance, losing Chara (hooker), both our props and our openside (whose name escapes me right now) will be the test of the teams depth.

So if fit. Barcella,Servat,Mas,Nallet, Pierre, Hardinordoquy,Dusautoir, Bonnaire/Ouderaogo, Parra, Trinh-Duc, Traille (i see him at 12), Rougerie, Clerc, Huget, Meddard thats definatly a side that can push for the semi's. Some good finishers in the backs and strong forward pack. Trinh-Duc has...

I'm assuming you say this because of Super 14 game time. Quirk is a better player then Hooper, and I doubt any coach will want to play 3 opensides in their backrow. As Ive said before, Quirk, Gill, Fainga'a

I should of been more specific, in general media not on these forums :)

I've always been confused why no one has mentioned McCalman as a 6. I'd have him over Higginbotham

I concur, I was reading this with interest untill I read that, now this blokes opinions are irrelavant

I agree that Brown has been playing well, but history shows he can't quite cut it at international level.
