Perth going into 3 day lockdown......... Edit: I forgot this game was in Perth - apparently still going ahead and everyone must wear a mask.

I saw it during the match and thought Hosea was gone, clear red.......... it was bizarre, given the otherwise consistency on this issue all year that the TMO didn't refer back to it at the time. But Hosea is probably lucky, because everyone else has received an automatic 6 weeks, reduced to 3...

Damn......... but I guess he has a few players in his way - might still be a long term fullback option if he returns in a few years.

I rewatched the Chiefs v Brumbies game from last year......... Chiefs were at the time undefeated and on top of the ladder, hosting the Brumbies....... and the Brumbies put in what was probably their most perfect game of the year. There were so many great performances - Kata smashing it on...

Not quite the same thing, but there was this classic incident up in England a few years back that led to Hartley being red carded for swearing at Wayne Barnes.........

Yeah, but what else has he done? The fact is that without Koroibete, the Rebels wouldn't be able to get into the opposition half to kick penalty goals.........

I'll cut Nine some slack.......... it's been a few weeks since they were hacked, and I know that a lot of their operations are still majorly fucked.

Er, you missed the first hour of the game?

Round 9ers.......... 1. Bell 2. Kaitu'u 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Timani 5. Neville 6. Anstee 7. Scott 8. Valetini 9. Powell 10. Lolesio 11. Koroibete 12. Magnay 13. Perese 14. Wright 15. Banks

OFFICIAL G&GR SUPER AU TEAM OF THE WEEK ROUND EIGHT: 1. SLIPPER (Brumbies) - 4 selection(s) 2. PAENGA-AMOSA (Reds) - 1 3. TUPOU (Reds) - 4 4. HOSEA (Rebels) - 5 5. NEVILLE (Brumbies) - 6 6. VALETINI (Brumbies) - 5 7. MCREIGHT (Reds) - 6 8. WILSON (Reds) - 2 9. WHITE (Brumbies) - 4 10...

The final round bye is a real pickle for the Brumbies.......... If they had finished on top they would've gone two weeks without playing. They've got second place and a home semi final locked in, so it's a good chance to give some of those reserve players some more game time. Also, it's...

I'm afraid someone else will need to provide that info....... from what I can gather he's a lightweight 8 who is way too small to play anywhere else in the row but 7.

Scott is a local lad, and Tucker is the Kiwi lock/6 who has made a couple of bench appearances this year.........

Brumbies ringing in the changes with second place locked in.........

Valetini playing no 8 this week with the Brumbies rotating/resting players.........

Yep, I'd be sticking with the incumbent wingers - Koro and Wright.

TBF, it is close to the backline/reserves Rennie went with in a few tests last last year, with the two major exceptions being no Hodge (who from memory is injured?), and Ikitau for Petaia, which form-wise is spot on. As for Petaia, despite his talents he's not really the best option in any...

I think Tomkin Irish’d up his morning coffee.........

Valetini and Samu actually switched positions for the Vikings in the final NRC season, and Valetini played 8.......... But I'm sure there's no reason that he and whoever is wearing the 8 jersey can switch around at scrum time depending on the situation.

What if Latu signed with the Reds? Does he start or come off the bench for BPA/Mafi against the All Blacks?
