I like the squad a lot. I would definitly change Shepherd for Gerrard tho (or even Morahan). Also I think McCabe will cover fullback (over Shepherd), he's been playing solid enough . Vickerman also is a maybe, havent seen him play yet. The squad looks very close to what I expect Deans to pick...

JOC (James O'Connor) is great at defense, Take a look at last years tri-nations. He was tackling props front on and he even dumped victor matfield (think it was the 2nd Bok game). That is no easy task. Gits is a great defender but I dont think his effectivness at tackling is any better then JOC (James O'Connor). JOC (James O'Connor)'s front on...

Wykes IS stepping up this season!

Beale at 13, He can handle SBW? I very much doubt that. Beale is a gap running, looks for space. We need a hard runner at 13 especially when we have such good distributers at 10 (cooper) and 12 (lets assume O'Connor). And why would you move beale from 15 when he is probably the best fullback in...

I think Scotty's 4 certainties are correct. You would also have to say a fully fit TPN is too. However a fit Moore is in more consideration then a TPN playing with injuries as he has been doing. JOC (James O'Connor) would be next in line, but at what position? if its wing then the other winger is either Digby...

that front row looks pretty damn weak come scrum time!

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is playing very poorly, although as i recall last year he had a very average super 14 year but come test time he was very solid and consistant, infact probably one of our best backs. So given AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s poor super 15 form maybe people are jumping to conclusions about excluding him from the...

Chislomn along with a load of other aussie forwards go into tackles with way too much body height and not enough leg drive.

Yes i am worried now, C. Fainga is a great growing prospect and Id hate to see his development impeded by the coaching mentality of White. The risk of entering a Foreign coach into the Australian market comes with a risk over hiring a domestic coach. I guess I'm worried about foreign coaches...

Wait a minute... Tony Rea is that u? Brumbies management?

24 points up, under advantage- nothing to lose, points to gain. Good work Cooper!

"The Brumbies are going to have a fairly young team next year... particularly in the backline..." Sounds like the Reds 2 years ago... lets hope with the same success!

Both Coaches seem good to me, However u cant go past Jake White, it would be very very interesting to see what he can accomplish at the brumbies!

I like the look of that line-up! I do feel however Morahan deserves some more game time, Maybe try Digby at 13 n bring in Morahan on the wing, but only If Link feels Chambers isnt up to it.

Pocock for Captain!

Bigger is better!.... one word LOMU!..... Of coarse its not the primary aspect to a players abilities but size does give players an advantage. Id say strength is one of the best atributes for a forward (which is why Reid is so good, he's as strong as his larger opponents). But I dont think...

Burgess a distant 3rd? He adds so much passion, guts, and spark. Sure he's a bit rocky around the edges and not as consistent as the others but he does offer a spark that phibbs n genia just dont have. When he's on his game even with his wobberly pass he's probably the first choice. I would be...

Brums: 3. Lealifano 2. Vaea 1. Fainga'a Tahs: 3. Burgess 2. Beale 1. MItchell

My mistake.... Phipps for Rebels is good. Phibbs for Brumbies sucks!

Kingi is a very good player, add lots of spark. But I think maybe his pass has a bit of the woobles (hard to say tho, havent seen loads of him), similar to burgess maybe. Phibbs has a great pass. Im supporting the commentators saying Phibbs is the 3rd 9 in Oz. Kingi maybe 4th? I like Kingi and...
