DHP is also going to have a hard time getting back into the team........... great for depth though.

It will be likely he'll head o/s with the Force gone, but with 77 caps he still qualifies for the Wallabies.

My opinion is that 9 - 14 stays as is........ there's no need to fix something that isn't broken. Hunt comes into the team at fullback, and Tom Banks is brought on tour as wing/fullback cover.

Except that DHP is not available, and wouldn't displace Korobeite on the wing if he was, nor should we shift Beale to fullback.........

He's being rested.........

It's a shame Banks is running out for the Baa Baas for this one.......... Also, we could've found better options than McCalman and Godwin, but I assume that this might also be McCalmans last game in Oz?

Criminal charges you say?

Also, I liked the way Wayne Barnes reffed tonight....... I thought there were a couple of big decisions that went against us that he cocked up, but I really liked the way he handled things - particularly some dumb off the ball play/comments by both teams.

I just watched the game on replay, and some scattered thoughts while loaded on a binge of craft beers and fine Ethiopian food........ Possibly best game by Folau this year. McMahon great once again. Dempsey definitely has the 6 jersey for now. Good performance but I wouldn't lock him in long...

3. Folau 2. McMahon 1. Dempsey A special mention to our front rowers, and Coleman too.

What're you waiting for?

Brett McKay, who also works for the ARU's media unit, apparently confirmed with the Brumbies that Banks was signed on for next year........

Unfortunately this was always on the cards.........

Realistically, they can't continue without that association..........

Pulver calls BS on it........... http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/australian-rugby-union-boss-bill-pulver-hits-back-at-latest-senate-inquiry-claims-20171018-gz3d4v.html

Kuridrani has had some piss poor Super Rugby form at times........ but I can't remember the last bad game he had in gold - he's a solid test player.

Plays in the centres.........

Definitely don't need another 9.......... I assume/hope Lonergan is on some kind of contract? Personally I think Lucas should act as an experienced third option with Powell and Lonergan on the team sheet. I doubt we'll get another 10/12 after giving Hansen a rookie contract and signing that...

As mentioned in the Wallabies thread......... Dan Palmer joined the squad on the Gold Coast as the interim scrum coach, and will be going on the Spring Tour.

It just keeps on keeping on........ http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/new-zealand-rugby/security-consultant-adrian-gard-spotted-at-all-blacks-training-20171017-gz2v1y.html
