3. Wright 2. Porecki 1. Noah

Not sure Wright has the kicking game or tactical nous just yet. Hopefully this is rectified by some time in the saddle at the Brumbies next season. Hodge should come in for his kicks for touch alone. How many times on Saturday did we see Noah/O'Connor kicks for touch fall a little short. Seemed...

I think Leota as the back up second rower off the pine might be the play. He's probably just a little too short to start in the 2 row, but injecting him for Frost with 30 mins to play could work. Having said that you'd think Itoje is no chance this week after the head knock and with Ewels...

3. Porecki 2. Korobiete 1. White

Tbf Fiji has more than double the population of Samoa and Tonga combined.

Hodge and Campbell are the same age

I don't think there will be anymore surprises today. Swain to partner Neville. Leota at 6 and Banks at 15. Bench should look something like 16. Fainga'a 17. Slipper 18. Sio 19. Phillip 20. Samu 21. Gordon 22. JOC (James O'Connor) 23. Petaia

There's no way Underhill and Billy V both start. If Underhill is at 7 Curry is at 8. If Curry is at 7 Billy is probably at 8. FWIW I'd take Hooper before both Underhill and Curry everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. Agree though their pack is shaping up very nicely, hookers not only not...

Agreed, barring injury Bevan Robb won't be near the 23. Ellis Genge is a proper gun

I think you might need to watch the highlights of the England BaaBaas game mate

Nope, that was the Champions cup final vs Leinster where he was close to best on ground

The solution might be further on in that article. Guy Porter is a genuine gun, I'd be throwing cash at him if I was Nick Stiles.

Looks good, should be a genuine chance at beating all 3 sides. Only changes I'd have is Edmed over Donaldson and Muirhead over Nawaqanitawase

Grant english qualified so doubt he'd forfeit it for 10 mins off the bench for Aus A

Who plays 13 if Ikitau is out?

Apparently he is only going to miss the two match tour of Argentina through Comm games commitments, but agree gives us a chance to give solid game time to the likes of Paisami or Foketi

I heard a rumour a few weeks back that Kerevi playing the Comm games would mean he wouldn't count as one of the three OS picks. Opens up the potential to bring Rory Arnold in.

There's three locks in Tupou, Hooper and Kerevi. Korobiete and Valetini not there yet but certainly on the right trajectory, if they stay fit for the international season I predict both will be World Class by the end of the year. Bell perhaps a further year or two behind them. Whilst our best...

How do you determine he is not big enough? He is both taller and heavier than Maro Itoje, who is widely considered one of the best locks in the world and incidentally plays for England, our 1st opponent. His form warrants selection as one of our three locks. This not big enough rhetoric is...

I think if it was open slather re overseas selection White would be in RWC squad. Although a big season from Lonergan or Fines Leleiwasa who both certainly have it in them could see him miss out. Banks and Lolesio however don't have the runs on the board to be demanding test selection and it...
