I think losing to Italy would be a definite coach killer, but considering we haven't lost to Wales in a decade that would also be pretty bad............

A few key players out for Vikings, but still a strong starting lineup and some good young backs on the bench in Lonergan, Lolesio and Hansen......... It's going to be a tight one.

The Reds still have to pay part of Slipper's salary while at the Brumbies, and I assume that will be the case if Quade moves down south.........

It sounds like Valetini’s injury is not too serious, and he’s going to be rested this week......... BR gets his wish as potential Vikings MVP JJH will miss the match due to family commitments.

The Tele reporting that Slipper's move to the Brumbies might be finalised by the weekend.......

That is also true............. Last year was possibly his best test season in a while, but he's certainly nowhere near that level right now. The problem is all of our other hookers are very much lacking in experience.

Latu has dropped down in the pecking order and I would think unlikely to make the RWC (injuries permitting)........... I'd say that TPN, Folau and Uelese would be the favourites right now to go on the plane, followed by BPA and Latu.

If true, that would be......... shocking.

And when he's on the field his general form has been very poor this year - he was completely invisible in his 40 mins against the Rays............ I doubt his contract will be renewed next year.

I could also see Taliauli covering 13......... He and Muirhead are really playing well, so there'll be some tough choices to make next year. I see Peni playing a lot of club rugby.

Wow, that Rebels backline is totally going to be under the cap next year......... ;)

Taliauli is signed on for next year.........

If Fardy was back in Australia he would easily be the best 6 we have, but pretty much agreed - there's too many issues with the Wallabies that one or two quality players will instantly fix........... Having said that, our current backrow options are not great.

Yeah, I don't think there was any chance of Fardy returning while Cheika is in charge.........

After that match winning try I expect BR to be calling for JJH to be dropped from the squad completely.........

I wrote this earlier, but with their injury history it might be the best thing for Australian rugby for Sio and Slipper to share the workload in one team............ And for the other 20 props at the Rebels to get some game time.

The Brumbies reintroduced their academy this year, but I'm not sure how the other teams are operating.........

It's sad that the leather patched Sydney rugby folks don't want to get in line with the rest of the country and take this competition seriously............

The A-League is quite popular in Melbourne, and after the AFL would easily be the next most popular football tournament.......
