Any chance of McCalman replacing Hanigan at 6? Or McMahon 6, McCalman 8? Would be happy with that.

I wouldn't be surprised if NZ weren't keen to try and get a team in there. Maybe like a heartland team or something like that, the next best 30 players from the NPC who didn't get a super rugby contract.

Mccalman has come from nowhere, what a game. He has to tour. I really don't think Douglas has done anything for 2 years to deserve selection but we are really short on options. Phillips should go as well. I think hardwick and Ross Hayley Petty are both recovering from surgery as well...

I don't really like Kerevi on the bench I think it limits the options too much and him and Tevita are so similar you may as well leave Tevita on the park for 80 minutes. They would be better off with someone like Hunt or Cooper (or DHP or Hodge once DHP fit) on the bench who can cover multiple...

I know we need changes but not sure how to do it. TPN and Kuridrani are the obvious ones that must come in. I hate the fact we have 2 players who can't defend in the line and a full back who can't defend. We end up with a hobbit (Foley) trying to take the high balls which is a joke. I...

I think it shows what a bad way Aussie rugby is in when these guys consistently get picked: - Douglas - Simmons - Phipps They have done nothing to deserve selection. Whether it is bad selecting or whether it emphasizes the fact that nobody better has come along, either way they should have...

Great reward for the Western Force players Although Ruru very unlucky and probably Lance as well. We are really lacking quality at 6 and 8. Mafi from the Rebels would have been perfect if eligible.

Really happy for Pek, has had a great season. Great reward for Meakes and Rona. Ruru and Lance very unlucky and Philip and RHP would have been close to.

I guess my main issue is that there is no justification in picking Horne if he refuses to pick Fardy when both are heading overseas

The only issue I have with the selections are the consistency. e.g. Are we trying to win every game now and pick our best team? therefore pick Genia, Moore and Fardy Or are we building for the future therefore pick Powell/Gordon, Latu and Hanigan/RHP

You cannot place the ball when you are tackled and then decide to pick it up again and pop it. This seems to be happening a lot and right under the referees nose.

This is so frustrating. I would say the Force only have 6 international standard players (TPN, Coleman, Hodgo, McCalman, DHP, Morahan) so to have 4 out of 6 of them missing most games when we are fighting for survival it really hurts. Especially when the Aussie conference is so close, I...

2 byes in the first 8 rounds is a joke. Likewise the Force having 1 home game in the first 7 rounds is also a joke. Their season is done before they even get a chance.

U brumbies fans will quickly get pissed off with Godwin like we did as force fans, so much potential and then wastes it with these stupid grubbers and chips etc Fainga'a didn't help either, drops the ball at a crucial time and then let's himself get stuck in the maul to lose the game

On the subject of the jaguares v lions match can someone please explain to me how Sanchez did not get a yellow card for taking out the fullback. Disgracefull decision, I thought it was borderline red card but only a penalty!!!

I would think the starting backline for round 1 would be the same as this trial. 10. Jono Lance 11. Chance Peni 12. Bill Meakes 13. Curtis Rona 14. Luke Morahan 15.Dane Haylett-Petty The only possible inclusion would be Robbie Coleman but he would make a good utility off the bench with Brache...

I think they should look at forming some more "combined" Lions type teams. It could become a tradition like the Lions and tour every 4 years to the other Southern Hemisphere countries. Could be something that really builds to be special. eg All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions Wallabies vs...

I think the world cup was a good example that we struggle to get up for 5 games in a row. We should have been knocked out by Scotland, maybe that lesson has taught Cheika that the number 1 side needs a break in the middle of the tour. I know one thing though I am more excited than normal...

REally looking forward to seeing this backrow. Guys like McMahon will be really ready to rip in. Looking forward to seeing morahan, naivalu, naiyaravoro etc get a shot. Having said that I agree with Moore, foley, hooper, Folau rested but still think hodge, timani, Arnold, DHP are early in...

ahh now I see the previous smiley face! I get ya
