Shame ralston left he was looking better at 13 than he was on the wing. Agree Rona needed. I think kuenzle would make a good 13 with his size, maybe Hegarty 10, Stewart 12, kuenzle 13

The skill and quality level of those girls was phenomenal and not to mention the fitness. The ability from Caslick and Ashby especially to pass both right to left and left to right at pace and always put the ball in front of the receiving player was better than we see in most super rugby games

Seems to be playing pretty well, could be on the radar of some super teams? Force, rebels etc

Happy with that team. Agree with others Hodge not ideal to be covering 10 but as JOC (James O'Connor) was the alternative I am happy. Paisami was good last week and the bench looks strong. Vunivalu for the match winner in the corner!

I would put Leota back to bench to cover second row/backrow and then Valetini 6, Wilson 8. Fair point with Gordon. Vunivalu I just feel like we need to take the punt and see how he goes on the end of a good backline, time to start taking some selection risks as world cup not far away

I want to see Wilson (Starting), Tate (Bench) and Vunivalu (Bench) all brought in for game 3 and I am not even a Queenslander. Missed 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) as well hopefully he is back

Actually really pumped to see Paisami get a shot outside Kerevi. Smith and Farrell are not going to want to run the ball ever :D

Starting to take shape for next year now if all these come off; 1. Sio 2. Fainga'a 3. Robertson 4. McCauley 5. Rodda 6. Anstee 7. Koteka 8. Wells 9. IFL 10. Pasitoa 11. Mataele 12. Kuenzle 13. Rona 14. Pulu 15. Tiatia 16. Kaitu'u 17. Abra / Lloyd 18. ? 19. Williams/Pugh 20. Callan 21. Prior /...

I agree. A full game at FB for Australia A gives Beale a chance to prove if he has still got it. Bring Hodge into the #23 jersey for 2nd test with O'Connor at #22 (assuming no Cooper).

I would have preferred Perese over Petaia as well, Petaia still over rated, hopefully proves me wrong

Let's not forget the Tahs signed Jaime Roberts

There are not 150 super rugby quality players in Australia, if we want to win we need to look elsewhere whilst also bringing through the juniors. We just need to keep improving and trading up in every position; - Reddy traded for Fainga'a - definite improvement - Godwin traded for Tiatia -...

Yes Godwin has gone. The signings have only just started to be announced, hopefully there are a lot more to come. Last year they did pretty well in getting Fines, Kuenzle and Pasitoa from the Brumbies as well as Rodda and Mataele. So far Wells and Fainga'a. I have faith in Twiggy to...

and Anstee

Last chance saloon for Force to potentially play finals, hopefully they give it all they've got

I would think you can lock in Rodda. Swain, Phillip etc can fight over the other spot

What are thoughts with Jermaine Ainsley? Playing well now he is back across the ditch. Is wallaby capped but almost passed the eligibility period now so could end up playing for the all blacks. Front row depth beyond the main 4 is not great so might be needed in future. Guess it just comes...

Sorry sent that before seeing Tazz's summary

Great, so I am guessing because Kaitu'u, Rodda and Pulu went to Wallabies camp they are not selected to start this week. We can't afford to drop this game. Also not hugely excited about Lacey on the bench. Surely would have been good to test out someone new like Daniel Ala or Reece Tapine or...

There was literally a whole conversation above on how the Force get overlooked and then you leave out Rodda who has been one of the standout players in the comp just to rub salt in to the wounds :)
