KOB, I've made a little promise to myself. I will not respond to any irrational (as they all are) posts about RS (appropriate isn't it?). I did break it about a week ago but with a hell of a lot of resolve I think I can mange it. In any case, I am 100% behind Rennie atm, though I do think he...

Not sure about "BornAndBread", but with that attitude I think the Reds would soon be toast.:confused:

Think Cully's team will be close to Rennie's. Sio has copped a fair bit of flak here this year, but his drop in form coincided with injury/recovery. He's got stronger with more games under his belt. Suits the starting spot and Slipper is excellent cover. Scott just needs to watch what he does...

TSR, don't read my post as being my selections for Bledisloe 1. My point, which might not have been clear, was that another team made up with players who missed your starting team could contain up to ten players who had just won the primary rugby competition in the country. Your team had only...

Interesting picks there TSR. I cannot see Swinton in the starting side, but I do like your willingness to argue the point. This would not necessarily be my starting side, being a team made up of anyone not in your team, but I reckon it would probably touch up your side. 1. Sio 2. Fainga'a 3...

Hmmm. Now there appears to be two or more younger brothers called Mason. Plot thickens.

Use it to watch The Boys, The Expanse, Treadstone and Joker.

Not up to standard KOB.:)

Good luck Joe. A very loyal and giving Brumby over the years. Deserved more recognition at higher levels. Really think that you will be a loss for the Brumbies in years to come.

Scrafton, or is he already in the squad?

Red. Red. RED! Red is great, blue, white and gold is average to ho hum, everyone else is shit. ZC I often get accused of unbridled bias supporting Brumbies players but I think you take the cake for favouring your own. It won't be long before the likes of Wilson, Wright and McReight are...

Mostly making a lot of sense here ZC, but why describe Daugunu as stalling in the SRAu final but not acknowledge Tate had the same outcome in that game? If final form was the measure for selection, then Joe Powell has gotta start. He was the outstanding No 9 in that game, and was more than solid...

And the two No 7s are the captains to boot if I'm not mistaken.

Same as with a few other posters, I think Rennie will go for experience and physicality for the first couple of Bledisloes. In the backline, I reckon that means JOC (James O'Connor) at 10, To'omua at 12 and probably White at 9. Maybe DHP at 15 but only if he's properly fit. My choice otherwise would be...

KOB, the report I heard was that Aus was hoping to open the border before Christmas, but that the other way would be entirely up to the NZ government to decide. I read into that that there hadn't yet been any discussions between the two governments about coordinating any action.

That was my point Wamb. Looks like there were a couple or three likely lads playing lock yesterday. Are they up to, or have the potential to, play Super Rugby? Are the Tahs interested in any of them? I was also impressed with the Southern No 8. Again, played with a lot of physicality. Anyone enlighten...

Personally, not sold on JOC (James O'Connor) at 13. Hasn't been playing there for some time, and has little to offer for that spot with him slowing down, losing some of his stepping ability and was never a dominant, run through them type of player. I would prefer either TK be brought in or to try Paisami with a...

A couple of locks stood tall in the Norths/South's game. Don't know their names or backgrounds, but the No 5 and No 19 for South's both were big units and looked to play with physicality while the blond haired lock for Norths was quite skillful. Surely there are some running around who could be...

Wouldn't say towelled up JB. Scrum time in a couple of games they were penalised more often than I would prefer, but in open play and lineout operation, both have had strong games and FF (Folau Fainga'a)'s throwing has been some of the best this year. It might be that the scrum was poorer than usual because for...

No real arguments with your squad HKs, but would definitely start with Sio and Fainga'a. Sio is the stronger of the two LHP options and would help to wear down the opposition for when Slipper, the more creative, comes on to take advantage. FF (Folau Fainga'a) every day to start over Jordan who has some fairly...
