All in all, a good squad. If this was the squad for England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales we would all be happy, and I am happy with it. Looks like Big Kev will be captain, his emotions can get the better of him so working a ref can be hard, but he is a damn inspiring leader and the team is...

Pretty sure they are all frozen until the game now.

Doesn't Deans usually go for three scrum halves anyway? I think he wants to see more of White and Phipps because if Burgess is coming back and he is picking two of the three, he'll want to know which to pick.

Looks like there will be one more lock, but no other forwards. There will be one or two more scum halves, another winger and two more centres imo.

So are these guys on lockdown now?

Say whaaaaa?

What are the chances that there will be two scrum halves in the additional six? News - Burgess is in consideration

There is no Mogg, and given we already have two "fullbacks" we probably won't see him.

So Robinson, Moore, Slipper, Timani, Horwill, Higgenbotham, Hooper, Palu, Genia, O'Connor, Ioane, Lealiifano, Ashley-Cooper, Tomane, Folau?

We're supposed to be sad/angry about the team announcement, not beforehand.

Okay, then Rebels need a hooker :P Maybe grab Whittaker?

He's on loan for injury cover if I recall correctly. Edit: Here's all I can find http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12570/8397424/Western-Force-sign-former-Rebels-hooker-Heath-Tessmann-as-injury-cover

Being on the bench counts as capped under IRB rules.

Keep in mind that Heath Tessmann is returning to the Rebels next year and has shown his worth over at the Force this year.

10 - try and grab Ben Lucas from the Reds. 12 - Robbie Coleman could be convinced with money and gametime.

Chances are there will be an immediate release on some sites, Fox Sports is a good one but there is also rugby.com.au.

His running has been great this year, in fact the only thing he doesn't do better than 2010 is goal kicking. I would love to see him on the wing.

I feel like the Reds and Brumbies will be less affected by this 25 man squad than people think. Last night, a lot of Tahs forwards showed why they are going to be picked, while the backs showed why they should be picked instead of the alternatives. A couple of Rebels will be certainties now...
