I'd go: 9 Louwrens 10 Deegan 11 Koroibete 12 To'omua 13 Meakes 14 Kellaway 15 DHP 21. Lomani 22. Magnay 23. English Tbh, I've always thought English to be hugely overrated. He is the Luke Jones of your backline IMO.

I also like that this has been done without a great deal being made of it in the Press by RA. It looks a lot better for us if we air grievances through the right channels, as opposed to Cheika doing it by screaming at some poor journo in a Press Conference.

What wankers we were back then. Remember when we were all sick of Cliffy Palu? Said he was washed up? Remember when we were divided on Skelton? I'd give my left arm to have those two back today. Sick of these bean stalk forwards who would lose a fight with their pillow.

It is a pity that it'll be tainted by this, alongside part of the Israel Folau saga and the Kurtley Beale / Di Patston saga (when he tried to sack Kurtley and failed). I do think that Castle is the better operator though, and I think she has done amazingly well for the game so far with the...

Have you seen photos of Etzebeth at 19 years old? At that size, he'd be playing Number 5 AND Number 8 for us, simultaneously. I'd happily have a 17 year old Etzebeth playing for the Wallabies at this stage.

He had his faults, but he also did a lot of nitty-gritty stuff on the business side of things that were necessary after the champagne and caviar of the JON years. As an 18 year old -- in his first year -- I interned at the ARU. On my second day he called a company wide meeting, announced 25...

As would I -- the only problem is that flying to and from Perth is so fucking expensive for a competition like this. Flights are -- at the very best -- $500 per person return. For a 25 person squad, plus 10 support staff, is $17,500 per game. Not including accomodation or food. It could be...

That's why I'm almost excited by this idea. Look at the Sydney NRC teams, it's not like they're going incredibly well. People always froth "Sydney Uni would beat (Insert Professional Side Here)". Would it? Let's find out. Let's see how the Melbourne Rising go against Sydney Uni. Let's see...

Alright, let's argue. Which Super Rugby rookie has put their hand up for a locked-in position in the Wallabies for the next 3 years? Let's make our crazy post-Round 2 predictions.

Invisible? That suggests he had no impact on the game. His defence was horrible. My mother could've done better. Wings were a real liability in D last week. Hopefully they can turn it around this week.

If you're asking why the RFU has so much money, it's because they own Twickenham. They bought it in 1907 and I assume -- as with any infrastructure with a public use -- they get support from the UK government to maintain and renovate it. They then lease it out, don't have to pay leasing fees...

For a mature company like Optus in a saturated market like telecom, retention is the biggest driver for growth as there are no untapped customers, and switching costs are high for the user, meaning that an offer must be exceptionally compelling for them to switch providers. Given that - Optus...

Oooh. I have Optus for the EPL. I'm one of the few who watch both. Would be stoked if this happens.

Weird. Lineout throwing aside, I think he's been great in the trial and Round 1.

A great point. We want to grow the game and the competition. The aim here is reach. I would bet the reach of every game on Fox Sports exceeds the reach of a single game on FTA.

25 year old Sydney resident here. Attended a GPS school. Have friends that play first grade in the Shute Shield. Die hard Tahs fan. Zero interest in it at all. Probably get along to a game every 2 years. The standard isn't great, and definitely isn't what it used to be. My friends are...

Hey! Anyone who plays the Crusaders first up is bottom of the table after Round 1. By Round 8 we'll be at least... ... 11th.

Ardie Savea is 3 inches -- or a quarter of a foot -- taller than Samu and waaaaay more explosive. As is McMahon, as is Hooper. Don't get me wrong, I want to see Samu given more chances at test level, but let's not state incorrect facts here. I also think Samu will get his opportunities off...

That pack certainly looks a lot better than last weeks, with some decent go forward in Naisarani, Hardwick and Phillip and workers in Welsl and Jones. Only changes I'd make is Hodge to 12, Meakes to 13 and Kellaway to 14 with English on the bench.

That's one thing I find peculiar about RUPA. I'm pretty sure that RA has to pay a set X% of the broadcast revenue to players, as negotiated by RUPA. This all makes sense, of course. The Union is there to protect their interests. But I think RUPA should've negotiated another Y% -- where Y...
