He's a good 6 and a passable 8/lock and I don't think anyone in the Tahs could take the 6 from him. However, his decision making and skill in the lineout need some development. But I hope the extra pressure of being the captain will improve his game, like it did Pocock, and not turn him into...

I hope Dennis can be for the Tahs what Mowen became for the Brumbies. Very doubtful though.

His footwork and decision making are pretty good though. I don't mind if he isn't fast, just so long as he isn't slow, and he'd be a good 13.

Who will be the captain? McCalman? Charles?

Wow, thanks guys! I had contacted the guys over at ARU about the courses but hadn't thought to have a chat with the referee union here. I remember my first propper game as a schoolboy and how freaked I was for that, if it's only 10x as bad as that I'll be okay :P I'm almost what I would call...

Barnes can be a good attacking 10 when the 9 inside and the 12 outside are naturally attacking players. McKibbin can be either... Can Foley play at 12? 9. McKibbin 10. Barnes 11. Mitchell 12. Foley 13. Horne 14. Folau 15. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Edit: Forgot about that damn AFL guy. :P

Best team w/ replacements 1. Holmes/Daley 2. Fainga'a/Hanson 3. Slipper 4. AWH/Simmons 5. Horwill 6. Quirk/Wong 7. Gill/Robinson 8. Samo/Schatz 9. Genia/Lucas 10. Cooper/Lucas 11. Ioane 12. Tapuai/Harris 13. Fainga'a/Lance 14. Shipperly/Morahan 15. Morahan/Harris Agree, disagree, comments?

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Go the canes!

A couple of years ago I got back into rugby after taking a break in order to focus on study as my marks were slipping. I joined a new team with my mates and we all got into it and it wasn't long before we were match fit. Skills I had learnt were still there and I was the 6 for a match against...

At the Brumbies game against the Blues last year, you knew it was over because people weren't willing to sit in the rain to watch. Every other game, rain, cold or sun in the eye, they stayed. But not that one. A little rain was too much.

Looking at Italy's games, they have a great run really. Ireland and Wales at home, Scotland and England away. The only one I can't picture them winning is England.

I'm glad to see Wallace-Harrison making his mark again. He is the best lock at the Reds, always a 7.5 out of 10 at minimum. I really wish we saw more of Ben Lucas. Hopefully now is the time for that to happen.

While I agree that Ma'afu is past his prime, he's still a talented scrummager, reliable in the lineout and the second best prop in the Western Force by a mile. If that changes, he'll be on the bench.

That is a classic case of me being excited about rugby and not reading what I write :P I meant Italy or Scotland, I'll go back and correct that.

Eg. Berrick Barnes and every Australian 10 (except Beale) last year

I think he'd be first up, with Woodward and Vuna out and Mitchell's days in the Australian back three long behind him. Maybe Sitauti will be before him, but either way they are both fast with a passable step and the ability to tackle most players. Maybe it'll be a good investment for the future...

Awesome, thanks! I saw the lists of players, where they are played and with who just gets my head around it faster.

Anyone notice anything wrong here?

The only full team listing I can find for any trial is the Brumbies.
