Should have been Lonergan, Pollard, and McInerney for the Brums to choose from.

We still need to develop our next long term 5/8. We can’t keep relying on Quade and Bernie. Both are well into their 30’s and Quade has to come back from a major injury and Bernie isn’t the player he was a few years ago. Neither of them are guaranteed a RWC spot so we are going to have to pick...

Has the team been named or are you speculating BH? That’s probably about as strong a team as we can hope to field!

Yeah fair call. We seem to be singing from basically the same hymn sheet.

Agree the pressure is always on but we can’t just cast him aside off the back of 5 minutes of rugby and a missed penalty goal in a high pressure situation. @Braveheart81 I think there is a very good reason to bring Donaldson on. He is obviously considered a high calibre player that could...

I’d really like to see Donaldson get another run and more than 5 minutes at the end when the pressure is on. Give him a decent crack! We have nothing to lose.

Agreed but if Aus A has injuries this weekend Marky could fill 13 at a pinch if necessary.

Agreed …or start with Donaldson and have Noah on the pine. Time to start blooding new talent and move on from Quade / JOC (James O'Connor) / Foley etc.

Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) has played 13 for Eastwood I believe.

Very interesting. Many of the same issues we have here.

Add to that Banks has never really locked down the fullback position for the Wallabies. I feel that he is getting a lot of mentions lately nearly because he has become semi ‘unavailable’ to us with his move to Japan.

I agree with Lightblue and I raised this a few weeks ago. The box kick is overused and largely ineffective IMO. The Wallabies that find it hard enough to score points without gifting the pill straight back to the opposition in an attacking position in our own half. We need to be more creative...

Ok I like your points, but I still feel that we box kick too often, too poorly, in bad field position, for not enough metres. I understand ‘horses for courses’ but I have seen the Wallabies way to often, from deep in our red zone, box kick and only gain 10-15 metres and Nic White seems to be a...

I said it about 6 years ago…..Nic White can jam his box kick where the sun don’t shine!! It is such a low percentage play which results in either giving the opposition a lineout on our 22, or invites the opposition to counter attack at us in our half. The Wallabies are using the box kick way...

LeRoux was on the angry pills tonight. Etzebeth always on the angry pills!

Maybe it is garbage as you say. I put it out there for debate but 3 reds and 2 yellows in 2 games isn’t going to win rugby matches now or back when you were YoungManEmu!

I only watched one game live but followed Kinross from afar. Yes a tough season which they will hopefully reflect on and improve. I would be interested to know from others what they thought of Kinross’ discipline. In the game I watched they received a red and 2 yellows, and in their next game I...

I haven’t seen young Seagart play but if he is anything like his old man he should go very well. Hopefully he is a chip off the old block.

I hope that Shore can build on what they achieved this year. I’m not sure who is back from this years open teams, or who are the up and comers from the U16/15’s this year but hopefully someone can fill me in….

Yes I do. He’s only in year 10. Hopefully he can keep fit over the next couple of years.
