I'm pretty happy with that team. Simmons over Sharpe is a big call. I'd have had Samo at least on the bench. But it looks strong.

All fair points, Ruggo. But, if selecting players is the only way to instill an attitude, then how did Link instill it in the first place?

But all that is true! Deans has said that Link has been involved all year. The Reds leaders are the Wallabies leaders: Horwill, Genia, Cooper. And there is a very solid Reds representation in the Wallabies squad.

Where did I say that? I'd pick Samo in a heartbeat. Robinson is potentially a good bench choice. But that isn't the point. Much of the Reds success was drawn from the outstanding team dynamic they built, which resulted in them doing more with less experienced players. It's the team dynamic we...

But that was his scrummaging arm - a big ask for a LHP.

If the knee dislocates he could do some damage.

That's pretty awesome.

That's true. Various 6 nations teams have dominated the Italian scrum, particularly the French.

Sorry I thought he was responding to a post about the Boks test.

That's how we lost the Samoa test.

Then why not play AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 12 and Horne at 13, and let Cooper make the choice?

For the Wallabies we must select the best players. If they play for the best franchise then that's great, but they have to be the best. Selecting from the Reds, or the Tahs, or whoever did best that year, seriously misses the point. The big question is how to transfer the Reds attitude to test...

I'm having a similar experience now. I have a grade 3 ATFL tear and after 4 weeks of mainly bed rest in a moon boot I'm walking normally and cycling. My doctor told me a grade 3 is actually friendlier than a grade 2 as there are no strings of ligament remaining to pull and potentially cause...

That looks like my old grandad's underwear.

Quality panic. So good, in fact, we should save for when things get really bad.

It is also tiring when people write off débutantes after one game. Timani wasn't the first, won't be the last, and is very far from the worst test débutante ever. Giteau's and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s debuts were both terrible. Give Timani a chance. He is an Australian and chose to be a Wallaby. He still has as...

I think the concept of 'top of your game' necessarily excludes a B team.

Eddie Jones lives.

No problem starting Cowan. Fainga'a?!?

The Force showed fantastic spirit all year, losing many games to much more fancied opposition at the last gasp. The Rebels also showed a lot of grit and did extremely well to win as many games as they did in their first year of Super rugby. The only team that bottled it was the Brumbies. I think...
