You're right, I did misjudge your reasoning. But apart from weight, I think Wright offers more in work rate and line out ability. Just my opinion:)

His Wiki says he was born in Samoa and moved to Melbourne at a very young age. Works for me

Yes, but it's a very big squad. I doubt he would of been picked in the normal squad size of 30ish. I could be wrong and you might be right in thinking Rennie will pick him based on his mongrel, but I don't think he has showed enough to be considered yet.

I can see Swinton selected based on game against Reds, but having watched all the Tahs games closely he was often missing and a liability at times with his discipline. Wright would be my pick at 6. I guess we'll find out soon enough

People aren't saying it's because he's short, it's because he had trouble catching in the Super Rugby final

For me JOC (James O'Connor) 10, To'omua 12 and Petaia at 13 unless Jordan unfit. Simone could be as bench player , but I don't see him coveting many positions outside of 12

How do you know how Petaia is at 13 at this level? He played very well for the Wallabies at wing, but don't recall him at outside centre. Simone is a good ball runner, but we've now got some outside backs that need to be fed. Just my opinion. There is a game thread for first Bledisloe which I...

Not for me. Petaia will benefit from playing outside To'omua

Yep. They dropped the mid week show Kick and Chase and journalists on their website when it was clear that RA were not going to take their offer. Bugger all on Fox sports news now too

Last I saw he was plying at 6 for Manly

We've got the likes of Douglass at lock coming through, but he's a bit green. I agree about Frost being a target. I've heard that squad sizes might be reduced, so fingers crossed. Wykes will be an ok squad filler

Its not that simple. Until a TV deal is signed the Tahs are pretty broke. I believe that Hooper was released to play OS to ease the financial situation

But he's a Waratah:(

That is correct

I He will have to be at least in the game day 23. Using one of your 2 exempted picks to sit ob the bench just so you can keep Godwin out of the wider squad doesn't seem wise.

Yes, he shot out of the blocks and was scoring more than a try a match, then fell off and didn't make the RWC squad. He obviously wasn't happy at the end

It depends on what the coach wants. Kerevi is a very good ball runner, but the likes of To'omua and JOC (James O'Connor) are better play makers. I would like JOC (James O'Connor) at 10, To'omua at 12 to set up the likes of Petaia on the outside backs rather than Kerevi who is more of a wrecking ball. We'll find out what the coach...

Too many Tahs:)

Playing the last 5 games, I would have thought Orr started most for Rebs and Slipper was mostly off the bench. Perhaps that would balance out over the 10 rounds, but we only chose from 5, so 50 odd minutes v 20 seems skewed. Sio for mine was pretty ordinary, so I'm happy with the Orr choice...

Good for the Force, Waratahs not so much. I suppose Bell has been anointed, but he needs time to improve his scrummaging
