Hosea Gear failed me twice so I dropped him and took up Savea. LOOK AT HIM NOW!

Wouldn't be surprised at all. When I asked White why he played McCabe at 12 and not 15, he said he had talked to Deans and Deans was only looking at McCabe as a centre, not a winger or fullback, so he wanted to develop his game there.

52 of the 62 points the Sharks have scored have come from Goals. 44 of the 94 points the Brumbies have scored came from Goals.

Well, Pocock is gone. Replace him with Gill, Quirk or Labuschange?

Okay, this is a bit of a rant, but it annoys the hell out of me. The players in the Waratahs who have played the best so far are: Robinson, Ryan, Douglas, Chapman, Hooper, Lucas, Volavola. And the ones who have been let downs are: Kepu, Timani, Dennis, McKibbin, Carter, Ashley-Cooper. So...

McKibbin can't keep starting over Lucas. It frustrates me to no end.

Let's see how he goes against the Sharks, it was the fullback and centres from the kings that covered all the mistakes of the forwards and ended up keeping them scoreless.

Dane Coles injured?

It needs to happen though. Everyone had Carter, Cruden and Steyn last year because if you didn't it was a mistake.

Wanted to grab Mogg anyway. I'll drop Gear as well, see how many tries he scores this week.

The front row hasn't let me down yet, scoring at least 60 for me each week. Hooker has been Stephen Moore with his usual 30 points please attitude, I'm going to drop Craig Burden from the bench soon. In the locks, two of the three experiments worked, with Luatua and Bird scoring nicely. Joe...

Scott Fardy played ahead of Ben Hand for the Brumbies last year, same story for Jesse Mogg over Robbie Coleman.

The whole team of champions v champion team story.

Third penalty in as many minutes, he had just bombed a try and now they were preventing one, sometimes a guy just snaps.

Saia Fainga'a has been playing above and beyond TPN, I think he should be on the bench with TPN in the 30 man squad. The three jumpers in the lineout is impressive, but I just can't see Pyle being selected above Douglas.

McCalman is good at 8 for the same reasons Mowen is. It would be nice to see Cottrell at 6 and McCalman at 8. All of last year, the Force had insanely high possession and territory. I think it was Scott Allen who said on the podcast that Ebersohm is a great choice at 10 because they can just...

McCalman, Brown and Cottrell are all above Alcock IMO. Edit: Cottrell, not Crottell.

Going off of Super Rugby form, Ant has only played the one game this year. Chances are it will be AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13, but Inman is the best so far in Super Rugby.

God it was good to see 20 000 out there. The best the crowd has been in years.

While we're selecting teams (bold + italics being the ones I am certain of, italics alone is "nobody else really") 1. Benn Robinson (WAR) 2. Stephen Moore (BRU) 3. Ben Alexander (BRU) 4. Kane Douglas (WAR) 5. Sam Carter (BRU) 6. Ed Quirk (RED) 7. Michael Hooper (WAR) 8. Ben Mowen (BRU) 9. Nic...
