Maybe Dargaville could be an option at 15. Not sure what his kicking is like but he certainly seems like one of those safe-as-houses no non-sense type of players. I really do like the look of him. Given our poor scrum at the moment I'd be inclined for Larkham to start looking at some more...

This is an Optimal 23 players for RWC. That was exactly my point. He's too fresh to be considered a starter. His time will come after RWC.

Was fairly ineffective last Test match. Certainly can't question his work-rate but I certainly question his physicality. Barbarian matches don't count.

McCalman has been playing well - but how many super xv seasons has he played well then was fairly pedestrian at international level. Higgers might be worth a shot, he hasn't had a real chance to prove his worth at Test level since he started playing tighter and tougher at super xv level for the...

WHAT!!! Lilo at 10 and Tooma at 12 for the Brumbies.. when did this happen???

And wasn't his kick out on the full actually a clearance kick from inside his 22. He didn't realise it was taken back. So that's just poor communication and awareness rather then execution. I honestly think he is pretty consistent with the boot - apart from that finals series - which...

Yeah he does tend to have a few kicks go astray but I think he has put in more good kicks then bad ones. I think that will also improve with experience as his decision making gets better - he certainly has the skills to make great touch finders but often goes for too much at the worst of times...

I wonder if Larkham could bring in a S&C coach from America's NFL.

Defence no. But high ball yes. I take it you don't watch Mogg play often because he is very good under the high-ball. He even out-jumped Falou on occasion. His kicking and high ball are his greatest assets IMO. It's also what sets him apart from other Aus fullbacks and makes him pretty much...

Well that's true. Its not looking good now.

Yeah I think I was still pissed off after the game. If it was a one-off I wouldn't have been so pissed - but he has done that quite a few times now although never this critical. Lilo did have a great game I thought, apart from the kick. He was tackling a rampaging Vermulen and putting hits on...

Mogg has been playing well. I wouldn't be moving him from fullback.

I agree Sio is a great scrummager but will one person really make that much of a difference? We didn't just lose one or two scrums we were totally dominated all game. Same with the Tahs game.

When the kick is that easy in the dying minutes of the game then I think its fair to say Lilo is to blame. Or at least was a HUGE contributor to the loss.

Wtf happened to our scrum?

Yeah he has a habit of missing ones right out in front. Not good enough.

That kick could very well be season defining. A school boy could easily have made it. WTF

Lilo can say goodbye to his wallaby jersey. Tackling might be good but that kick was pathetic.

Great forward battle but lots of dropped balls from the Stormers. This can be easily fixed at half time. Their try-line defence is superb. Brumbies need to stay strong and I imagine it will take some individual brilliance to crack their line. Anyone notice how good Lilo's defence is? Tackling...

If he excelled in the position then it would have doubled his chances.
