Captaincy to Genia or Sharpe with Pocock as VC. Lost faith in Elsom.

How was Yannick Jauzion and Clement Potrinaued left out? Good to see Heymans get picked, he has been in electric form for Toulouse. If Rougerie doesn't get fit in time, they have some serious center problems. Very strong backrow though, their skipper does not stop tackling

hahahah well played sir

From what I watched it seemed it favoured Union way more then League. When the league rules were in place it was effectivley just a chance for the sides to have a breather. Both teams stop attacking the ruck, and as a former flanker that made me sick haha!

Yes very true, I forgot that Henrich packs at 8 usually for the cheetahs anyone. Is Smith gonna be back for the WC? And kiap I agree, cliffy is the first choice. I just dont rate Radike much, hopefully he proves me wrong and has a blinder this weekend :-)

My Saffa team. Beast (Steenkamp if fit), Bismark, Janine du Plessis, Matfield, Bekker, Brussouw, Burger, Alberts, du Preez, Steyn, JP Peiterson,Jdv, Fourie, Basson, Francois. Spies is way out of form as is Habana and Bakkies has been over rated for years. If Smith was fit i dunno who id leave...

Yes, it does haha. I really don't rate him. Benny McCalman is best 8 in the country right now

Reds have a big advantage in the backrow, with the form Higginbotham and Robbo are in, whilst the Auckland are missing Kaino and Daniel Braid. The battle of the 9's will be intruiging, Mathewson is having a good season. The lock battle will also be massive. God dam this game is shaping up to be...

Robinson, Moore, Slipper, Horwill, Sharpe, Higgers, Pocock, McCalman, Genia, Quade,O'Connor, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Ioane, Turner/Morahan, Beale Obviously Tatafu would be there as would Mitchell. Can't really decide between Turner and Morahan, i'd even put Cam Shepherd with a chance if he was fit. Reserves...

With Matty Brandon running the show, in with a shot this year.

Thank god for Tapuai over Chambers, Rene Ranger would of had a fun game if he was up against him. I agree with you Jets about Toua, oh well, bonus for Easts having him for another week!

If Tigers can keep a fully fit side, they will be top 3 end of the year. The amount of injuries last year deflated them. That back 3 of Mansell/Faulkner, Wilder and Toua is electric. Im starting to wonder how far off Aiden Toua is for a reds spot.

CHristian is a quality player, still think he is more of a 12 though, just not enough of a play maker just yet. Great kick on him

I believe the backrow should be Quirk, Gill, Fainga'a. I really think Gill is far superior to Hooper, it's just Liam has been behind one of the best performing rugby players in the country for the Reds that he hasn't got as much game time. Quirk adds that mongrel and is a tough hard hitting...

Harris is definatly out, Holmes in serious doubt. "On the flip side, both Ben Lucas (leg) and winger Luke Morahan (shoulder) are expected to play after being cleared of serious injuries"(foxsports). McKenzie has indicated he will either bring in Tapuai to 12 or Chambers to 13, Fainga'a to 12...

If the Crusaders can get a lot of their injured stars back they will win it. Queensland has the potential, but once again have to make sure their backs aren't completely depleted by injuries. Auckland have looked rusty in their last few matches, but still are a quality side. And the Stormers are...

Horwill was one of the Reds best, he definatly played better then Timani and Sharpe. Will Genia and David Pocock showed why they are so vital for the Wallabies

Wow, I've never realised how important Lucas is for us, you sometimes forget that he is our back up 9/10. Atleast Auckland have injury worries aswell, so it won't be just QLD with the injury problems on Friday

Tahs: Probably Mowen, he has improved Brumbies: Kimlin Force: Dellit, the dude hits hard Rebels: Lachlan Mitchell, he has started every game hasn't he? Very solid player Reds: Lucas or Simmons, both don't get the recognition they deserve

9-Genia 10-Quade 11-Ioane 12- Tapuai 13-Fainga'a 14-Shipperly 15- Lucas (i think he will be fit) With Chambers and Toau on the bench. If lucas is injured I'd give Toua a go at 15, the blokes been carving up in the first two rounds for Easts in the Brisbane comp. In the forwards, does...
