That's good. Wonder what it means for the likes of Dom and Cam, who are OOC. And was Pama Fou not meant to be making the 15s switch to us as well?

Ref not happy with the Saders. Reds go for the kick. Pressure valve released.

Would have been nice to see a few more than Asquith, Snowden and Siliva named to play on a bye weekend.

Moreso that he's not played any International Rugby at all, and he's not been in and around Cheiks squads. His form is very good, don't question that. If he does come back, he'd be in and around the Wallabies squad, I'd just question whether that would be part of the playing squad (those that...

Pama Fou is back for London. Big step towards Medals.

Naiyaravoro may be flown in, he's been in and around Chieka's squads in the last 10 months. Houston would be a bit left field. He's been out of Australia for 4 or 5 years at least now, they've gone through 2 Wallabies Coaches and styles since then. Bath are done after this weekend though, so if...

MOTR

On the locks, my left field suggestion is Alex Toolis. He's been released by Edinburgh, he's supposedly homesick, and while he's not performed at the same level as his now Scottish capped twin, he's got a similar ceiling from the limited games I've seen him play. He's only 24 as well, plenty of...

Good write up Lee. Bit worried it may be another year outside the top 4, or quietly confident that once a few quality lads come back in they'll right the ship?

Alan played tighthead for the U20s ahead of Robertson who's now startingat the Tahs. Weeks will be back next weekend apparently, the reports are that he, Harris, Inman, English,and Timani will all be fit for the game against the Brumbies.

Is Andrew Smith unfit?

Tuttle is clearly going to be a very important player for this side. That's not a bad thing in general, it's probably a good thing in fact given how well he's being rated, particularly by the QRU, who made him captain of Queensland Country and prefer him over Gale for the reserve halfback spot...

Harley was pretty good, but the pick of the forwards was Angus Scott-Young. Ah-Mu made a couple of good runs, and another couple of high ball takes, but the NZ counterattack was very good and he was beaten a few times of defence, mostly because of team alignment, but a bit because of his own...

That's particularly ambitious. Simmons and Douglas will only be 30 at RWC 2019. They're then competing with the likes of Coleman and Skelton, who're starting at other sides, but also the Carter and Arnold at the Brumbies themselves. From what I've seen, both are good enough to do so...

Sione (Tuipulotu) came off the bench, I think flying to and back from Aukland with the Rebs would be why he didn't start, but he might get his shot on Saturday.

Radrada's not played for Fiji 7s since 2012/13 ish hasn't he? It'd be a long term investment, but you could bring him into the fold, then cap him in the Qualifying Series for Tokyo 2020, and he'd be eligible in time for Japan 2019, if the format was the same.

Not the best outing for the boys. You'd hope with 3 more days in Camp before Saturday, the cohesion would get there. Tuttle, Tui and Mafi will be big ins to that side for the Tourny itself though, so definitely not bad so far.

Scrum is good, but overall the Joeys are lacking the same cohesion as the Baby Blecks, Sorovi's passing isn't helping, big big step down from Tuttle.

Seany is contracted for the Rebels in 2017 if that's what you're implying.

Raped and pillaged. Love the sweet smell of hyperbowl and bullshit at tea time. The States have just set up their own professional league. That's where World Rugby's medium term money is. (With the short term being Europe and the long term being Asia) would be unprofessional and self...
