BH, you can spin it anyway you want, but it won't alter the fasct, for example, that Cheika finished with three only Brumbies in his starting team while there are a worthy eight in the team above. Cheika had a history of making very poor selections, and no re-writing of history will alter that...

Look, I'll take it on the chin L, but really I am not anti-Tahs per se, just anti the preferential treatment they got from Cheika when more deserving players from the Reds, Rebels and Brumbies were overlooked.

That's a bloody impressive team. Pity the selection for the Wallabies wasn't a democratic process for all Super players over the past 4 years.

I think rugby in Australia needs to move on from Quade and Bernard, just as GAGR needs to move on as well. I don't relish the argument of Quade v Foley starting up all over again. I'm with Reg. I reckon Deegan is the best prospect for the 10 spot next year or two, but it will depend a lot on...

I hope Deegan gets a good opportunity at 10 with the Rebels next season, with MT at 12. If AD can show some of the game management skills he displayed all through the NRC with the Force. he'll go better than ok. IMO, one of the best two or three players in the NRC along with Jonny Dyer and...

I'm surprised by you B'man. To say that's all we did is to ignore the innovative attacking plays introduced to Super Rugby by the Brumbies right through to 2004. I'm sure someone will tell me that the second wave attack was formulated by Randwick back in the 60s, but the way the Brumbies used it in those...

Taking the very long view WOB?

A pivotal moment to be sure, as was the missed tackle by HH to let the first try in for Samoa.

2 year contract doesn't work, according to some of our learned friends from the Tahs thread.

Nothing forever sounds good. Floating around Paradise as a disembodied intellect as part of holistic collection of individual experiences and knowledge, even if you then know all the answers to the big questions, seems exactly like Hell to me, (unless it is a never ending discussion of things...

Well said Lindo. But I would include Latte coffee drinkers as well.

And in the process retaining multi millions in sponsorships that would otherwise be in jeopardy.

And subject to regular review as HR personnel come and go bringing the latest fads along with them.

Excellent work Ruggy. Looking forward to a successful Brumbies' season, but as you say, a lot will depend on how the youing No 10s step up. If one can make the spot his own, then I think the whole shebang is well within their capabilities. Rory will be sorely missed by the Brumbies and...

Uh Huh's post was specifically about the Irish tests next year, as were my remarks. Neither of us mentioned the RWC 2023.

One man's dream is another man's nightmare.

Surprised that BB didn't make it into the leadership group.

Very close to what I see as the squad, Uh Huh. Just a couple of quibbles. 4/5 : IMO Matt Philip is the best of the Rebels' locks, so ought to be there at least in front of Jones. But on the strength of experience I think it would be Hockings I'd leave out for Philip. 6/7/8 : Pete Samu is a...

I think I've also seen a comment attributed to him to say that older, established players won't be automatic selections if form doesn't warrant selection. I'd think the likes of Simmons, DHP, Hunt and Beale might fit into that category. I agree that White should be left out of the squad until...

And that would allow To'omua to slot into No 12 where we look a bit thin too.
