I know Ed Jenkins (Randwick 2nd Rower, 1st grade) is down there on a short-term contract whilst Parling / Coleman are away from the squad. To have opposed rolling mauls as in the video they probably simply need the numbers.

I think it's a fantastic selection and an inspired choice. Time will tell if she has the chops to navigate Australian Rugby out of the swamp. For those saying they'd prefer Kearns, simply consider the Shute Shields latest move. For the second season in a row they're playing silly buggers by...

In other news, Seb Wileman (Warringah Rats 13) is in the new announcement videos. Thoughts on him as a prospect? He's a big lad.

3 McMahon 2 Hooper 1 Kuridrani

Also, looking at Simon Cronn's LinkedIn, he moonlights as the Managing Director of Lilly & Finn Fashion. Cheika 2.0? How many languages does this bloke speak?

What are people thinking about the matchday 23 this year? The biggest points of contention for me are 13,14,11 and 4,5,6,8. Ideally, I'd like: 1. Robertson 2. Latu 3. Kepu 4. Simmons 5. Hanigan 6. Dempsey 7. Hooper 8. Holloway 9. Gordon 10. Foley 11. TQN 12. Beale 13. Simone / Foketi 14...

What about Link's 50% success rate? What about Dean's 58% win rate? The Northern Hemisphere was a lot weaker during their tenure's and our Super Rugby teams were a lot stronger. All I'm saying is there's not a massive difference, despite our relatively poor results. Perhaps Australian...

What I find interesting is that people are slamming the very concept of a shooter-based defensive system but that was exactly what the Lions did so effectively against the All Blacks this year. Perhaps they were just better at executing it?

A few things: (1) Tweet about Di Patston? It absolutely, concretely, 100% wasn't a tweet. It was a text. You can't "retweet" texts. I think you made that bit up. It was a pretty rude text about Di that he accidentally sent to Di herself. I can't defend Beale on this, but they agreed to let...

Beat me to it!

Well, um, no. The 2017 squad for the Tahs was 38 people (or thereabouts according to Wikipedia), including short-term contracts and EPS contracts. Of those players: Kepu, Robertson, Hanigan, Dempsey, Hooper, Phipps, Foley and Folau went on Wallaby duty. =8 Latu, Sandell, Hegarty, Wilkin...

He played a handful of games for Scots in Year 12 at Inside Centre but he played at Number Eight for the Scots 1st XV in Year 10, 11 and 12. That's where he played his representative footy as well. That was simply a case of putting your best player where he got the ball the most at lower...

The only thing that I think could tempt him back would be a crack at the RWC in 2023. Hopefully by then he has achieved a lot in league and feels like he's not missing out on anything by pursuing the opportunity. But I agree. He's unproven in the 15-aside code as an adult and I think it'd be...

Angus Crighton would be a massive priority for me - his highlight reel at Souths is incredible given his age and the number of games he has played. That being said, given how well he is playing I think Souths would fight tooth and nail to keep him, and he seemed a bit bitter about his...

I just think the Brumbies and Rebels are far more appealing options at the moment and there's very little that we could have done to have changed that. The Brumbies have a really solid squad next year, the best recent success of Australian teams (relative success that is) and Lord Laurie who's...

Did Cheika really do anything too embarrassing last night? He's passionate in the coaching box but I certainly prefer that to Hansens robot-esque demeanour. I really don't think the national coach being animated during the game is the worst thing in the world. Walking to the pitch he had a...

Koroibete!!! You bloody beauty!!! World class.

This ref is a joke.

Don't mind that. Wouldn't mind seeing Uelese start with Moore to come off the bench as well, with Tui starting or on the pine. Back the boys to get it done, rest the veterans and let the depth build.

Also haven't seen it discussed here but Speight's fallen off the bench as Cheika's elected for a 6-2.
