Interesting. If Cheika takes the Tahs' approach and plays Folau on the wing (where he probably should be), and DHP goes to fullback, just who would be the other winger with a reasonable kicking game to take the third spot? Can't say I've seen either of Koriobete or Naivalu kick and I'd say with...

That's a huge leap sideways BH. Joe played predominantly on the wing with some cameos at 13 for the Brumbies/Wallabies. On your admittedly scarce viewing of him overseas, what makes you think he would now compete with the likes of DHP at fullback? Or. do you think (like Hooper/Pocock) that he is...

Thank you BH, but, apart from my question about the end date, I sincerely hope you didn't take my post seriously.

Surely he was scheduled for a 40 minute/three halves game in the lead up to selecting the Wallabies. That should count for one or two weeks of the suspension, or is it couched in terms of an actual date?

Thanks Slim. Not to labour a point too far, but I thought he was on the opposite side to Sione, who I am sure played LHP.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Harry Lloyd was primarily a THP in the JID comp. Will be interesting to see how he goes on the LH side. He has a huge potential imo.

And the other 50% of the time he just can't be understood.

Timu was excellent while he was on, and Rodda again had a strong game. Both Wallabies in my book.

It's bewildering RL, but also prevalent at other Aussie franchises as well. Every box kick by the Brumbies that stayed in field was a simple turnover of possession as the chase just didn't contest for the ball. Powell actually put a couple of them nicely into touch and made more ground than the...

Early days of the Brumbies revisited. Hope the Force have as much success as those early days Brumbies did.

Yeah, come back to what? Unfortunately, Liam Wright might find himself in precisely the same situation and Liam Gill did.

Back to the photo of the backline boys. Why does it appear that those in the front row have their arms tied behind their backs (Koriobete aside)? Is it some sort of message about their roles and the game plans being followed?

But there was a definite off-side in the lead up, maybe two or three phases earlier. Ball went forward from the half back's hands and taken by another Canes player in front. Movement should have ended there and then. Have to wonder if Nutbrown has anything like 20/20 vision. So many knock...

Why would the Tahs chase Samu. They have three of the Wallabies' backrow as it is - Hooper, Hanigan and Dempsey. And now there is a push by some for Wells to be there as well. Samu wouldn't get to see any game time at all.

About time to give this thread away. Has been hijacked into a Soccer/AFL discussion. Neither has any interest at all for me.

But I have to ask, were the salaries for Coleman Philip, RHP, Cottrell, Ruru, Meakes and DHP included in this years' cap? I'm sure the earlier signings would have been counted, but there was a lot of smoke around at the time that these players were continuing to be paid by the ARU and were not...

BH, I always thought Rohan Saifoloi was a better No 10 than Horwitz. Saifoloi seemed to outplay Horwitz every time I saw them on opposing sides. Not sure if he has since played for another country and is no longer around or eligible? This is just an example where I think the poorer of the two...

Just another viewpoint on the matter, R3, but I understood that many of the ex-Force players were signed outside the salary cap this year, but will be counted in the cap from next year onwards. If that's so, then it might be sometime yet, or subject to a few more player losses, before there is...

So, what was the outcome?

Stormers would have to be favourites for this game, but the Rebels, if early season form can be recaptured, are the best chance for an Aussie win this weekend.
