Eh? The locks, if they front up, will make up for not having any recognised tight heads? Against England? Pfitzy, Pfitzy, Pfitzy - where are you bro? I'm on my way and I want some of what you are smoking.

I'd much prefer a loss to England than to stomach yet another game against New Zealand. In fact the northern tour is quite refreshing. They are going to win by 20+ though.

Weird, eh. Trouble if JOC (James O'Connor) goes down.

I'm repeating myself, but surely Lolo is held in the broader squad until Wales and then is on the bench. Give him 30 if its going well, 10 otherwise.

Yes but not England. From the bench v Wales. Give him 30 if it's going well, 10 otherwise.

With luck Tupou's passes the protocols and returns. I suspect he would have been starting (rotation) but under these circumstances probably will start from the pine. I don't see a lot of changes barring the Petaia injury. And that's a bit scary, we'll have to do a lot better against England...

I'd take Leota over Swinton in the line out, though I understand he needs a few games under his belt in that role. With Rodda + Arnold/Skelton we surely should be able to handle Leota's engagement.

Perese had a fabulous first cap. Beale was solid, should be retained on the bench. I don't think either Arnold or Skelton made a big difference (other than maul D) but will be better for the run within WB systems and you wouldn't dream of changing them against England. Still not impressed with...

1. White 2. Leota 3. Rodda

Rubbish result but I thought an interesting close game. Disappointed that we chose so consistently to not defend the line out on their throw - and then little creativity on our throw other than maul it, often from #2. Big thumbs up to a swapped Slipper and Bell - talk about thrown in the deep...

Which I have also responded to.

Show me where I have done this.

I'm presuming that while you are not quoting me it is in response to my post? Can't recall the lat time I did the "too many tags thing". Though perhaps it has been there at some stage. I completely support the WB coaching team making their calls and I've no concern if there is a connection with...

Christ this shite just leads to total distaste for the Brumbies. And their supporters.

I have exactly nil interest in watching Beale's games in France. He must have improved out of sight to meet the claim "Far better" than Banks or Hodge. Beale was an elusive runner but could tend to crab and not gain ground when a game was under pressure. His high ball could be OK but you could...

KB (Kurtley Beale) does nothing to excite me in the slightest - that said the various interviews with him display someone who seems a bit more mature and settled. Let's just hope he matches the hype on the field. We've seen a few manage it, and we are also hopeful for Arnold and Skelton. Let's go boys, even...

Thanks Braveheart, the quote I read was more succinct/abbreviated than that.

Let's hope so. Can't say I've been impressed with statements from Skelton that "I'm not here to hold the training bags". Not at all the culture that has been evident up till now. I'd love to see the big guy back, but he can leave his attitude of entitlement back in France.

We have sent home several Red forwards who have performed well. A definite improve between Arnold and Skelton but they are coming in blind to the slowly developing Wallaby systems with little time to adjust. It’s Barbarian-like. The pack DOES look stronger but we are likely to lose cohesion and...

I think it's indicative of a muddled squad with constricted selections on the back of fails to get the players they were expecting. Good luck to Colby all the same. We are looking a lot like the French team that came here and was called the third XV.
