With no top up, Hunt will easily double his $ overseas. Shame - Voted best back and need a solid 12 with foketi @ 13 and Beale @ 15.

How about ' a step in the right direction' , ' showing positive signs'. "An indication that things new systems are starting to take hold" Bit more honest then -' holy shit how good '

Commentators were quick to heap praise on the coaching staff and say the stars are aligning, Cheika says now ready challenge All Blacks (1). This is after Australia (6) gets belted by the Springboks (5), they scrape in against Argentina (10). I would liek to see some semblance of consistent...

Any idea how these can be watched in AUS?

If Wisemantel isn't the next Wallaby Coach, he'll be the Attack Coach. Surely. Cmon.

oK - something more exodus related. Someone posted Coleman was giving up the WC to go to UK....Surely he is staying for selection - unless Cheika purposefully released him. He is under contract and can't just decide to leave earlier. Is this forum contributor misinformed?

Perhaps there wasn't more to it - Perhaps they thought - Hey with our bash centres, we can go with a kicking and nous dominant back 3, essentially 3 fullbacks to help steer the ball across the fields into position, whilst both centres go RAH up the middle. Turns out - they sucked.

Woulnd't be 100% sure about Kerevi locking down 12. Maybe 80%. If Beale starts at 15 and successfully spreads the attack, then yes. However, if it is another week of Kerevi getting huge numbers, and all those outside him getting nothing, then they may move him to 13 to get another distributor...

Kerevi got big stats as 12, perhaps his huge numbers also explains why the player outside him had almost 0? Did Kerevi do an amazing job as a 12 as a key cog of a wider team, or are his numbers inflated because he actually did a poor job as a key cog as part of a wider team?

Hugh Pyle and Big Richie Arnold would be handy.

If Petaia gets a spot, I imagine we would see him on the wing for a 'lesser' game.

He's 30. If he doesnt get a look in for the next round of squad picked. He should put his hand up for USA (born there)

I think if they are capped for another country they shouldn't be included full stop.

We may have the edge in the backs, however I feel the forward packs are quite on par.

Money on JOC (James O'Connor) over 50. This showed the flaw in having Maddocks in the squad covering a kicking wing/fb which was already healthily covered by banks, hodge, beale and even JOC (James O'Connor). Poor balance. Needed another strike winger like Speight, Pulu or Naivalu.

Ahh, I was under the impression that 15 guys were being sent over to be the starting XV and train together towards that purpose. If that's not the case then oky doky.

Is there a match thread yet? Sio & Koroibete amongst those sent home. Leaves us light on with wingers - my prediction Hodge to shift. 1. Slipper 2. Fainga'a 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Rodda 5. Arnold 6. Tui 8. Naisarani 7. Hoops 9. White 10. Foley 11. Hodge 12. Kerevi 13. TK 14. DHP 15. Beale 16. Uelese...

Have I missed a player announcement or something? SA was meant to send a starting XV to NZ to prepare for Blacks - with the bench being selected from players v Australia. If this is the starting team V Aus - 1. Beast 2. Mbonambie 3. Nyakane 4. Etzebeth 5. Dejager 6. Eldstadt 8. Louw 7...

He was always a 10, including Qld & Aus u20 when he was signed.
