Striking has been a straight red card offence for a long, long time now.........

Yep, if he pleads guilty which he'd be dumb not......... So 6 weeks reduced to 3 with a guilty plea and no prior incidents.

Dentsu are a large international marketing agency, who bought out Harold Mitchell's company a few years back, and clients include the AFL, Qantas, Disney, GM, NAB, Cricket Australia, FFA.......... and I'm not sure if they still do, but they had the advertising contract for the Federal Government...

I forgot about Peter Ryan........ that explains a few things.

Sio not happy with ASY (Angus Scott-Young) after that coward shot on Slipper..........

Wtf?

In terms of exclusivity, Foxtel are really only left with HBO now............ All other premium TV content is either being produced by Netflix, Amazon Prime, or being snatched up by Stan, who also acquired the Showtime contract......... SBS are also picking up a few scraps too...

Did he jaywalk? Say the Lord's name in vain?

On a serious note........ the injury layoff for AAA and Pocock will count towards their "rested" games, so they won't need to actually be rested by the Brumbies for the rest of the season. Slipper in line to start this weekend...

I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned, but Friday's match is being shown live on SBS Viceland..........

It's certainly a fun time killer to be discussing new selections, but it's still the same coaching setup so I'm not expecting any serious improvements...........

Yeah, I wouldn't start either of them at 6 - I'd have both of them as lock/6 bench options but would currently favour LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).........

The five I named above to start with............ Sio, Slipper, AAA, Kepu and Tupou. I doubt he'll be ready in time but if Robertson is fit he could be there having been a permanent member of the squad the last couple of years. Cheika also seems to like Faulker for some reason?

In terms of props I would only expect five like last time........... Sio, Slipper, Kepu, AAA and Tupou. Slipper and Kepu can and have both played on either side of the scrum in the last year.

I don't think we're going to see too many smokies this year............ If Petaia can be fit in time for the RC, maybe........... I'm willing to ease Valetini into test rugby due to his youth and history of injuries............. I think 2020 is the year for him and Petaia to really break out...

It's a risk you could take against some teams, but you could also go with To'omua and Beale on the bench, with To'omua to cover 10/12 and Beale to cover fullback (as well as 12/10) with Folau sliding to the wing if need be. I haven't mentioned Foley because I feel he is playing 10, or not there...

If McCaffrey keeps playing the way he has, I would definitely have him in the squad....... he's physical, great link play, and can jump in the lineout - definitely another good no 8 option, but would have to get some game time in the RC to see if he's up to it.

I'll have a crack.......... mix of form, and players I expect Cheika to pick: 1. Sio 2. Fainga'a 3. AAA 4. Arnold 5. Rodda 6. Hooper 7. Pocock 8. Naisarani 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Korobeite 12. Meakes 13. Kerevi 14. DHP 15. Folau 16. TPN 17. Slipper 18. Tupou 19. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 20. Samu 21. Gordon 22...

Pocock and AAA to be "rested" again this week...........

Wallabies to play Samoa at Parramatta stadium prior to the RWC......... http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2019/03/17/wallabies-announcement
