Timani doesn't take many if any lineouts. Jones and Higgers take about 80% of the throws, McMahon takes most of what's left with Reid and Colby cleaning up the scraps.

2 TOM ENGLISHES!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! EDIT: No Neville is a call for next year, but finishing on 49 Rebels caps would be disapointing. No fugs or Burgess are interesting calls, more on the fact they went from starters to not in the squad. Good to see Metcher is fit. Crawf getting a run is...

8 opensides! 1. G. Smith 2. D. Pocock 3. M. Hodgeson 4. J. Butler 5. L. Gill 6. S. McMahon 7. M. Hooper 8. C. Fainga’a

Eurosport and BeIn tying up all those rights.

Gillespie, Weeks and Metcher should go back to the Rams, Stars and Eagles respectively.

Yes, Deegan. That one.

Deegan did not control that game at all. Thought he was your biggest problem, missed about 4 kicks, ineffective from hand, couldn't affect the tempo either. Quite a few were good though, Fakoasolia and Placid were probably the best, big number 5 apart from the brain fart was good, Orr and...

Ultimately, yes. Cotter, and a little bit of Johnson before has started to more or less cut experienced players in favour of talent that fits his mould, while others have retired. Guys like Nic de Luca, Kelly Brown, Johnnie Beattie, Geoff Cross, Max Evans, Moray Low and Scott Lawson have been...

46 man Scotland Squad Named. Good one, couple of interesting selections and exclusions. With 2015/16 clubs and Scotland caps. EXTENDED SCOTLAND SQUAD: RUGBY WORLD CUP 2015 - FORWARDS (25) - Prop (7): Mike Cusack (Glasgow Warriors) – Uncapped Allan Dell (Edinburgh Rugby) – uncapped Alasdair...

We've (Scots) gone in with a slightly under strength side against the Little All Blacks. Obviously giving up on this one and going hard at the other 2.

If that's the broadcast schedule rather than the fixture (which would make only 3 games a week rather than 4 make a ridiculous amount of sense), that is the best news of all. 3 live games a week, and hopefully an online replay of the 4th would be absolutely immense and great for the fans.

Hook's had a rather good season for Gloucester, whereas Anscombe has been somewhere between poor and average for Cardiff, he'll certainly have an opportunity between now and the world cup to show his worth to Gatland though.

Competing with blokes like Hook and Priestland for fly half utility.

It'd depend how fixed the Super Numbers were. Like the cap was 16 last season, but the Rising picked the full allotment, then got Ben Meehan when none of the other sides wanted him, then got Burgess when Meehan went down injured.

Bugger. Was hoping for a Ma'afu. Just means Metcher needs to be fit, otherwise Cruze has to switch sides and get Kieta on the bench. Did Toby not go down with a strain as well? Bloody hell. Could be down 3 props, and have to use Gillespie as well.

Let's do. 1. Slipper 2. Moore 3. Kepu Duh. 4. Skelton 5. Simmons Almost as obvious. 6. Fardy 7. Hooper 8. Palu Given that there is so little between all the options, you have to back the incumbents. 9. Phipps 10. Foley Back the tahs pair. Phipps is the best halfback, and a cool head...

He's off to the dark side anyway, it's a moot point. And WOOOOOÒOOOOOOOOOOOOOÒOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHNHHHHNNHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GLAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOÒOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reckon Higgers comes into consideration for 2 combinations of backrowers. First is Hooper and Pocock, as the best lineout operating number 8 of Palu, McCalman and himself, you could play him alongside Skelton and still have 2 top quality jumpers. The second is Fardy and Pocock, with 2 tighter...

I'm at peace with the decision. I still think he was lucky, but yellow is a fair enough decision. I'm caught between 2 minds on Weeksy striking. On one hand, the fact that was very very low impact means a 1 or 2 week ban, much like Salesi Ma'afu in last years Prem finals is potentially on the...
