I'd go into the next one with minimal changes, only forced and returning from injury ( Jones, Weeks maybe in, Harris, Leafa maybe out). If that doesn't work, maybe start rotating through plsyers who've got a big part to play next year, like Metcher, and Meehan, and a handful of others.

Higgenbotham would be a fab winger.

Timani off hurt our scrum too. For a massive unit, Jeffries is not a great scrummager. Of course, Ryan was still better than he has been, and Tilse, well, he's Tilse.

I don't think he's ready. But most of PAEs problems come down to his age as much as anything else. In at least the last 2 seasons, I've never seen him give away a penalty for being done over. His penalties involve experienced looseheads luring him into giving away more technical penalties (See...

Won't say too much. Tahs deserved the win. Lineout functioned better, attack functioned better, good cohesive forwards and backs, left 9 points on the field, no questions asked. Congrats. Just a little bit disappointing that the 2nd (Robinson driving at at 90 degrees) & 3rd (Incorrectly...

Might be The A team for the Argies, given the test side will be playing Soup at the time.

Genia, White and Phipps are all more than capable of playing 80 minutes, so keeping Gits on as the 3rd halfback gives you a bench cover if one goes down injured and the third doesn't get over in time, as well as allowing an extra back rower or outside back to get into the squad.

RaboDirect Rebels squad to face Waratahs, Saturday April 25th, ANZ Stadium (Sydney) 1. Toby Smith (Rebel #60, 21 Rebels Caps) 2. Pat Leafa (Rebel #57, 26 Rebels Caps) 3. Paul Alo-Emile (Rebel #44, 43 Rebels Caps) 4. Cadeyrn Neville (Rebel #42, 43 Rebels Caps) 5. Lopeti Timani (Rebel #69, 9...

Pyle's been the pick of the overseas locks TBH. He got a chance early, then has kept his spot against a number of experienced internationals, being a standout in a number of them. His strengths remain the same, but his key weaknesses of maul defence and work in tight have been much improved upon.

I'd sign the 5 at the bottom, plus Kingston and one of the hookers, that's 29 of this years 36, plus Siliva for 30/35 of next year's squad. Then a prop, 2 Lock/Blindside/no 8 forwards, a halfback and a back of any persuasion.

AND makes it a really really small group. Interestingly enough, I think Sekope Kepu is the one they'll have introduced it for. He needs 8 caps to hit the magic 60 mark. If he plays every game of the RC & then 4 of the 5 pool games, he can play forever, and ever, and ever and ever and ever...

Palmer is retired and coaching at the Brumbies. Douglas only played 5 years.

Get hype!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Article said that 23 players are signed for next season, we've currently got 36, and I'd assume that would include Siliva. Anyone have a comprehensive list? I'd reasonably assume that these 9 are out of contract, which would leave 4 or 5 more unsigned. Kieta PAE Sexton Whittaker Samo...

McKibbon is signed for the Not-Nots, the one that's staying in the premiership.

Assuming all the below are fit, this is something similar to what I expect Cheika's squad to look like. It's not perfect but it's one of the best Australia has to offer. Left 4 places blank, but I can't pick them, and putting personal favourites in there wouldn't help discussion. 1. Slipper 2...

#TeamSlade

Think we both won the away fixtures in year 1.

Keita is probably on a 1 year deal, playing with the Japanese side.
