Why not Morahan? Just because he's leaving?

How about brothers who have represented different countries internationally? Currently, one example is Manu Tuilagi for England and his 4 or 5 other brothers for Samoa. For Australia, off the top of my head I can think of Matt Cockbain, and his brother Brent who played for Wales.

Ah, crap. Well, ain't that embarassing.

From the 2000s in Australia... Last ones to both play for Aus were the Kefus (number 8, inside centre). Post Kefus, the Tahs had the Edmonds (hooker and five eighth). Currently, there are the Lucases (five eighth at the Reds, scrumhalf at the Tahs), and the Timanis (Sita at lock, Lopeti and...

Rene Ranger, A. Finger and Conrad Smith are the main ones, I think.

Currently on 375. Not bad for being a prop down and Alexander being poo. Also let down by my flankers and choice of Speight as captain. Should have chosen Ged, at least he is reliable.

Minutes played would be the most useful balancer, I'd say. A few players there who have played a lot, and a few there who haven't.

If the Force have lost Mafi, it's a huge tragedy. He's their only really penetrative back.

Rebels deserved the win there. Was an interesting enough match, but it was marked by too many unforced errors from both teams. What sparked the match were some moments of brilliance, particularly from the Rebels backs. The injuries picked up by the Force will be worrying, as their paper thin...

Restart is too deep, Rebels take it on the 45 and run it back to 40m out. A few sloppy passes later and they are driven back to 40m out from their own line. With 5 seconds to go the Rebels give away a penalty for diving over to seal off their own ruck. Hooter goes. Force have to take the...

Lots of jeers from the crowd. Ref gives JOC (James O'Connor) a time warning. JOC (James O'Connor) misses to the right. Last play will be the 22 restart from the Force, with 30 seconds to go.

Saffy makes a strong break, gets to 15 out, Higgers takes it on and earns an advantage. Reid tries to force a pass that's not on to Higgers, and they go back to the penalty. Penalty is 10 out, 5 in front touch. Rebels will take a shot with 2 minutes to go. This should eat up the remaining time.

Force with some nice backline play. Rebels defence is up to it, though. SNK then throws a shocking wobbling pass a metre forward. Another league scrum to restart, 3 to go.

Tessman it was, Whitakker is on. Another league scrum to restart play. Rebels go wide to Vuna. Stirzacker puts his foot on the line as he clears the ruck. Lots of errors coming from both teams now.

Stirzacker gets a big hit jumping for the ball and misses it. Force go wide, SNK flicks a short ball to Dellit who drops it. Both teams then go through a bizarre phase of holding the ball for one phase then turning it over a few times. Force lose another front rower.

Snowden on for Alby, Zacker on for Phipps. Force going wide, Christie looking lively. Rebels turn it over, SNK soccers ahead, and a kicking duel starts until Dellit fires a wobbly kick that just lands inside the touch line. Someone tell Higgers to stop kicking the freaking ball.

Great vision from Woodward after he made the bust to see that he had drawn the fullback and to kick ahead. JOC (James O'Connor) kicks the conversion. Rebels 7 up. Rebels 30 to 23, 9 to go.

Agree that Christie and Godwin do not have good kicking games. Rebels holding the ball now, getting over the advantage line and into the Force's half. JOC (James O'Connor) goes wide, throws it to no-one. Woodward picks it up, runs through the Force's line and kicks ahead. He drives on his own kick over the...

It was a nicely worked try, and obviously rehearsed as Dellit ran hard onto the ball. Godwin's kick wobbles to hit the left post, well down from the cross bar. 23 all! Close game. Mafi off, SNK on. Mafi was apparently hobbling a bit. 12 to go.

Force win the lineout, and get stopped until they go wide to Stanley. Stanley grubbers out wide to Dellit, who juggles the ball before falling over the line near the corner post. Good option as the Rebels winger had come up and in.
