Yep, got my wires crossed somewhere.........

We won't have two hookers on the bench, and I would expect Swain to start as Arnold (like Fainga'a and Banks) will likely be tied up with Wallabies duties......... And Simone will be a lock to start at 12.

Did he travel with the team? [/fuel speculation]

Interesting that we've got 4 hookers in a 32 man squad - Fainga'a, McInerney, Mann-Rea and now Fifita........... granted, Faigaa will likely be pre-occupied with the test team.

That's a shame about Cusack, especially after his 'player of the season' performance last year........... And no Canberra born and bred Joe Powell?

You’ll have to fill us in on who this Robinson is?

It's hard to keep up with all these med school footballers and their similar initials......... ASH......... ASG......... ASY (Angus Scott-Young).

After the lineout woes of the weekend BPA would be the last hooker you’d bring along.........

Most definitely.......... The Wallabies lineout has generally been rubbish for the last 3-4 years, with a lot of different players............. many of whom excelled at it in Super Rugby - let’s not forget that for a few years Australia had two of the best lineout teams in the Reds and the...

BPA’s throwing had been awful in the latter rounds of Super rugby..........

Sure, in the 15 mins he was on we won one lineout, lost two, and pinched one......... winning!

The old fool should’ve retired years ago........ https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/bledisloe-broadcast-marred-by-gaffe-20180818-p4zybx.html

Who was that other Rob Simmons on the field when we lost our lineouts? As I mentioned some time ago - the Wallabies lineout has been terrible with and without Simmons over the last few years............. as you would say - that is a fact.

Well, the good guys won in the end.......... Vikings 29 - Royals 17 I only watched the second half, but a good effort by Royals to come back from being 29 - 3 down at one point. However, and it pains me to be that guy......... but there were some terrible decisions that went against the...

Having Slipper on the bench so AAA could cover TH would be handy............ But it’s just shit luck to lose two of your best props in the week of the test. What’s left of the Wallaby forward pack is really lacking go forward now.

Hunt should go overseas............. He’s been a wasted investment for RA, and I think he would be a toxic presence for the younger players at the Brumbies. Thankfully, there is no indication that the Brumbies are interested.

Good news......... it's always nice to see the local guys make it.

Sure, but Dargaville has played some good matches with the Brumbies too.......... He was a standout in the last Brumbies finals match against the 'canes in 2017. Granted, that was on the wing........ but a shift infield always looked on the cards.

Sio out is a big blow......... I'm sure AAA has been training at LH for the Wobs this year but it's been a long time since he actually played there, and while he was impressive in that position in Super Rugby all those years ago I'm not overly confident he's going to dominate there on the...
