Canberra Times is reporting some re-signing this week including Rob Valenti - 2027 Blake Schoupp - 2025 Connal McInerney - 2024 Schoupp has come from the clouds to be starting this week over Fred K and Harry Vella (Vella may be injured though)

It was the first time I have seen Spink play and I was very impressed. Runs a good line, reads well in defence, and breakdown work (counter & jackal) excellent for OC. He reminds me of AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) in body shape and running style.

Canberra Times has reported that Ben O'D, Tom Hooper, Pollard, Ed Kennedy and Hudson Creighton will likely miss the Tahs game.

Benching Hooper would be crazy. Unless they are coming back from a long term injury, elite footballers like him don't need trials to get match ready.

Blake Schoupp played loose head in the 2nd half...they may be converting him from the hooking role.

They basically changed the whole team. The commentary team had no idea on the backline other than calling out Murihead a few times. Ben O'Donnell come off injured after his first touch (incisive but lost the ball in contact) and was replaced by Matias Jensen who ended up playing most of the...

Debreczini was the difference in my opinion, he controlled the game well including a 50:22 and some nice offloads. Reimer had a blinder in the second half including 2 tries and a couple of turnovers. Toole looked dangerous but a little loose in the tackle, much like others converting from 7s...

Rhys Van Nek is training with the Brumbies as part of their Elite Development Squad - https://brumbies.rugby/news/act-brumbies-elite-development-squad-thriving-in-preseason-environment-2022121 Full List Shane Wilcox (Fullback) Austin Anderson (Fullback) Angus Blackmore (Centre) Matias Jensen...

https://www.rugby.com.au/news/act-brumbies-promote-pathways-playmakers-20221113 K Thorn and Nathan Carroll promoted - no surprises there.

RVN would be a good get with AAA and Slips likely to move on post World Cup. I thought Lemisio was a good prospect also but seemed to flounder in the U20 campaign. Obviously it is early but he was playing against others his age. Massimo De Lutiis (ex-TSS) has had a good season in club...

Interesting that he's been named at no 10. for the wicks this weekend.

smart footballer imo just not sure how he fits in. I presume Clarke and CFS have been let go?

Albert plants the ball down for a try after Sapsford dents the line\

Waratahs did well to combat the Brums rolling maul twice. CFS and Simone are looking dangerous out wide though. Cale looks like a young Ben Mowen

Bell, Horton & HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) are owning the rookie Brumbies front-row

Tamaiti Ioane is the Gungahlin No 8 and in the Rebels squad for the coming season. Maka played with the Vikings last season.

No real surprises in the squad announcements, unfortunately. I was expecting to see 1-2 others named from the group currently training with the team including - Corey Toole (Wing) - Patrick Maka (No 8) - Charlie Cale (Backrow) - Harry Vella (Prop) - Siave Seti (?) - Titi Nofoagatotoa (?) -...

I was initially quite 'meh' on Mogg's signing, however with almost every back amongst the Oz Super teams already contracted for next year, he has the experience to come in as a stop-gap for the players mentioned above and do a sufficient job. We need to remember that our 'B' backline is...

Tony Alofipo. Currently playing for Quenbeyan and trained through the pre-season as part of the Brumbies academy. He was recently selected in Oz U20 Squad. The Brumbies will still need at least 2 other inside backs before considering Alofipo.
