Lima Sopoaga maybe? Not enough tries in super rugby though, unless that is overall tries

Makes sense, the Blues have him so disgusted he's finally jumping ship. 20+ years too late, but we'll still take him.

No, probably further back - he's also behind Samu and potentially Naisaraini and Uru at the moment. Heaps of potential though.

Also Rahboni to Brive: https://www.cabrive-rugby.com/index.php/news/1719-recrutement-2023-2024-revue-d-effectif-2

If we're picking a fullback for their kicking it's very hard to go past Campbell, he has played his role brilliantly in the latter part of the season and his kicking game is probably the best from a tactical perspective of all the options. Otherwise, Petaia has a monster boot and has really...

Takes his time, doesn't rush his choices....

Yeah, along with two other Australians - Jack Grant and Jack Digby: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/ealing-confirm-six-more-leavers-raising-their-exit-count-to-nine/ Wouldn't be amazed to see Grant pop up back at an Australian side with some of the off season half back movement we're seeing.

Yeah, it's looking pretty definitive for Gordon, particularly given Eddie singled out McDermott (and Wilson) for praise for their end of season form.

Don't expect to see Jake Gordon in the squad. Christy Doran mentioned he heard that he was out on the ESPN Scrum Reset podcast and Sam Bruce agreed based on what he had heard. Sounds like he's going to be relying on one of the other srum halves giving him an opening.

Not sure about all the foreign player, but I know plenty of them in the MLR still play some club rugby/NPC in the off season back home. This would almost certainly reset their eligibility each time, at least as far as the 5 year qualification is concerned. There just isn't enough money in most...

Wright playing himself out of the wallabies 15 jersey

Brumbies get out of jail there, but they'll need to lift big time in the second half

Wright having a bit of a shocker

Probably worth looking at that one

Not sure a Muirhead/Sapsford/Wright back 3 quite has the kicking game to match the chiefs here, might need to try and get Debreczeni and White back a bit more often.

Brumbies defence holding well so far

Waste of an opportunity from Wright there

Or the extra time off in June

No real surprise here, Donaldson confirmed for 2 years:

There are still 4 options at 10 in the squad, they should be fine.
