First test with new combinations and new coach - I would be hesitant to make changes, although I wouldn't be upset to see FF (Folau Fainga'a) and Uelese swapped after that performance. If Petaia is fit it would be very tempting to throw him into the starting side at the expense of Paisami, although that...

3. White 2. Philip 1. Daugunu HM: Samu, JOC (James O'Connor) and all of the debutantes.

The only reason I'd be taking Lolesio off the bench is to start him........... It looks like we need a playmaker at 10 or 12 who can straighten the attack FFS. To be fair, the only player I'd seek to replace after that performance is Fainga'a......... Tupou gave away too many stupid...

Another great contribution to the Melbourne Rebels thread........

The officials for Sunday.........

How so?

All three seasons? Having said that, I feel the show has run its course and the only redeeming feature of the third season was Magma being featured in the soundtrack of one episode........... I really can't believe they've renewed it for a fourth.

Rugby on Stan would be pretty good, and give me a reason to hang onto my subscription longer........... Stan isn't what it used to be, and is only worth renewing once a year for Better Call Saul and an annual Twin Peaks binge........... Personally, Stan's initial strength was its selection...

I would go even further to suggest that not only do the first six months of this year not count for 2020, but neither do the first eleven weeks of Super Rugby Au.......... Therefore, it is important that we only evaluate form starting from Saturday 19th September.

Paul Cully's team in the Nine rags......... not a bad effort:

I wouldn't pair Koroibete and Daugunu on the wings, unless we're going to play run it back at all cost Cheika-ball, and we definitely should not.........

I'll side with the others in that I would've preferred Powell stay and White go to the Rebels, so hopefully he proves me wrong.........

It should also be mentioned that Lolesio was awarded the MOTM in the two full games he played in Super Rugby Au, and was easily the best performing Aus flyhalf in Super Rugby earlier in the year.

I haven't been around much this week, so not sure if it was already shared.......... Nic Bishop did an analysis over at the Roar of Rory Arnold's playing in France: https://www.theroar.com.au/2020/09/30/why-the-wallabies-still-need-three-storey-rory/ Has been running the lineout for...

Going by the stats, the ball has not touched his foot all year.........

There was a long time between starting that post and hitting the button......... :D

So assuming that Samu, Valetini, Wright and Wilson are the four frontrunners for the extra three (including the bench) backrow spots, it's likely going to be one of the following variations: 6. Valetini 7. Hooper 8. Samu 6. Wright 7. Hooper 8. Wilson 6. Valetini 7. Hooper 8. Wilson 6...

It’s just a shame Bobby Sands couldn’t be here with us.........

Gardner really grates me sometimes, but I've got to say I didn't notice him tonight........... He didn't make any howlers, or miss some giant transgression, and there were no controversial game defining decisions............ He was fine......... but there were certainly a lot of posts about...
