I think he should be in the extended squad for rugby championship - in fact I think all 3 of Mitchell, Gits and Smith should. Just to have more experienced heads in the squad. Don't think Smith should ever be in the starting 23 though with Hooper and Pocock fit, or even Gill - Smith should...

Fardy/ Hooper and Higginbothom / Pocock certainly offer more balance when playing their natural games but to say it is suicide is a bit far fetched. They are all very adaptable players.

Sounds right to me. Brums got Fardy, Carter and Arnold as jumpers. Rare moments they've thrown to Pocock, maybe even Butler has taken one or two. Means Vaea is no better then 4th jumper, but most like 5th behind the openside.

In Fardy's defence, he's never been great on the stats but his impact at Test level is superb. I doubt McMahon's stats will translate to Test level - especially run metres. Although 10 turnovers conceded is a worry from Fardy, seems quite high.

What are Palu's stats like?

As part of my commerce degree I study a couple of units of law, mainly covering contract law. Doesn't make me an expert. One thing I learned about law is that it is so vast in its interpretations, i'd only trust a very experienced lawyer. And thats just Australian Law, France would certainly...

We should have just copied the U20's jersey. Gold with green sleeves. Southern cross on the front/side.

Lol at anyone thinking they know anything about contract law, let alone the laws that apply in France. I guess there's nothing we can but speculate and/or wait.

or a dark blue one for an away jersey.

Okay so the colour doesn't look as bad as the first pic posted. Still a bit bright but I can at least tolerate it. The sleeves look very tacky though.

Yeah I'd seriously be considering Tomane over JOC (James O'Connor) at this stage. His high ball skills and dominate tackling would certainly come in handy, and Mitchell can play as a hybrid fullback type winger anyway.

The current jersey isn't too bad. Not sure why they insist on making such drastic changes.

I don't hate it. Simple designs are the best ones but its too yellow. Should be more golden.

I'm assuming both Higgers and Palu will at least get a crack this Rugby Championship since McCalman is out. If both perform well then their may be no need for McCalman to return - unlucky as it may be. Although I'd say he'd come in and replace the lesser performer of Higgers or Palu - can't...

I think you keep Fardy. He is the only one who has actually performed consistently at a high level for the wallabies. Sure his super xv form is average, but the other guys aren't setting the world alight either. So in this case i'd keep the proven test performer. Although I do have a feeling...

I think Tomane is stacking his claim for a wing spot. Been really impressed with him the last couple of games.

No AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) easily fills in for Kuridrani. I actually think its Kepu and Slipper. Sio is still untested at Test level and no decent back-up to him either. We are pretty screwed at fullback, especially with the highball if Folau goes down. Opens up past successful kicking tactics for the opposition.

How come SA and NZ seems to be fine with the Scrum. There is always talk about Southern Hemisphere teams being weak at the scrum when in reality it's really only us who are weak. SA, NZ and Argentina have been consistently good at the scrum for years.

What we really need is Stephen Larkham playing flyhalf.

Horrible news. If anyone has a good highlights reel of him would be nice to post it up in honour of the great man.
