It's going to be a tight race......... TPN - By some margin the most experienced, and if he gets back to how he was playing last year would easily be the best hooker in the squad, but has been fairly poor since returning from overseas Uelese - Looked great when fit, but will be coming off a...

Yep, we don’t need to manage the squad the same way this time and we might want to have a third hooker and scrum half this time around............ We’ll be fielding a full strength team for the first two matches against Wales and then Fiji, and then we can rest most of our first choice team...

Well, he can't without the approval of the sports governing bodies..........

Swain and Philip have both been impressive in the NRC, but I'm not sure if they'd be improvements on the locks that are already in the squad............... I also don't think Cheika has worked out what his best locking combination is yet, which is made difficult by none of our locks really...

We were absolute garbage in 2014, and everything seemed to click going into RWC 2015......... It certainly helped that we had all of our best players available for the tournament.

The way that NSW have managed their NRC teams, they might want to think about culling it down to one....... maybe hand over the Country team to the ACT?

I do find it strange considering Korobeite's poor form that Banks didn't get off the bench on Saturday..........

3. Pocock 2. Ala'alatoa 1. DHP

It’s a mistake.......... Meakes played at 12 for the U20’s.

You shouldn’t read too much into these things, but I love Pocock’s expression in this photo..........

JJH has to be the frontrunner for the Brumbies 12 jersey on this form............. Peni however, seems to be struggling at this level.

Another day and another reason why Alan Jones and anyone associated with him (Paps and co) should faaaaark off... https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/oct/05/alan-jones-demands-sacking-opera-house-chief-executive-racing-ads

For me, it’s usually alcohol......... ;)

He's starting.

Valetini back for Vikings....... hopefully that knee is alright. Interesting that McInerney and Enever will both be coming off the bench.

He deserves it......... the other options are a massive step down.

Nope.

Also, posted in the Wallabies thread............ The Tahs could be without Robertson next year after suffering a "significant knee injury" at training this week: http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2018/10/04/rugby-championship-salta-tom-robertson-injury

Robertson suffered a "significant knee injury" during training, and possibly in doubt for the World Cup if it turns out to be an ACL tear......... http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2018/10/04/rugby-championship-salta-tom-robertson-injury
