I like the naming of Volavola at 15, but I really think Paddy Ryan deserved to start ahead of Sekope Kepu.

Waratahs team named for the Brumbies clash 15. Ben Volavola (Southern Districts) 14. Israel Folau (Sydney University) 13. Adam Ashley-Cooper (Northern Suburbs) 12. Tom Carter (Sydney University) 11. Drew Mitchell (Balmain) 10. Bernard Foley (Sydney University) 9. Brendan McKibbin (Eastern...

I think I'll go for Anscombe with Moore as VC. Moore probably won't score too well against a free-running Tahs, but might. You never know with him.

No doubt his best spots are 13 and 15 (at super level). He can't really take 15 from Mogg, so it looks like it will have to be 13, because you don't just leave him out. I'd expect him from the bench for a few weeks and then rotate 13 between him and Smith.

I wasn't saying play him as a 6, I was saying his role in whatever the rebels plan is reminds me of a 6. I'll keep a close eye on him this weekend.

Is anyone else seeing Fuglistaller as another 6 for the Rebels?

Probably best to direct that to the Brumbies 2013 thread mate.

If it works, we'd be stupid to not have him. If it doesn't, we'd be stupid to.

Nic White is with us until the end of 2014! http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/super-rugby/brumbies-halfback-nic-white-re-signs-with-super-rugby-franchise-until-end-of-2014-season/story-e6frf4qu-1226590033063#.UTUGBTCLDjU

Jesus christ I'm coming 137th overall.

Will we be seeing Lopeti at eight? Last year, Palu v Aeula was a spectacle. Shame we aren't getting a repeat.

Assume Deans doesn't call him up for Lions, EOYT or whoever tours us next year.

Rebels are in serious shite at the moment, they probably won't be doing anything of the sort.

From all we've heard from Smith, White and Mowen, looks like the bench will be too full for Colby. No doubt he will be playing a game this week though.

Yeah, definitely. He knew what to do with himself, just not how to do it. His defense was solid, he reminded me of George Smith at he back of the lineout. I think he fell off of two easy tackle though, but this was a powerful 13 he was up against. Might have just been good footwork.

That was a poor tackle, not due to him. He knew what to do with himself though.

I made some player notes while I was there, here are the Colby ones. Colby Fainga'a finds gaps well but can't break tackles, breaks the line and sets up a try, pressures well around the scrum, beautiful intercept

One of those days where the brain just looks right a the problem and says "that's fine!"

Damn, damn, damn!
