You mean by the Force? Or is the Force secretly a team of prisoners ala Mean Machine.

Will Joe Tomane be fit to tour?

If Betham can keep rolling as he is now, I'd prefer him over Turner. I'm a big fan of Turner but he seems to represent mediocrity these days. The Tahs are trying to turn the page; he may get stuck of the flipped side.

I'd like to see a 4-5/6, sort of like Mumm. We have Palu and Lopeti who are impact backrowers, and Dennis who is more of a grinder. It'd be nice to see another grinder to compliment Dennis in case of injury. (Propose that grinding style backrowers be known as "Baristas" )

I had to laugh, weren't we just saying how awesome Bethams playing? I hope Cheika picks him over Turner or an unfit Mitchell.

The Argentinian number 10 (Hernandez?) rushed up and forced Tapuai to hold the pass and run into the space around him. But after this, he had an opportunity to tack back in, draw the man and save some of the space for Cummins/Harris out wide. I think he could have done better in contact anyway.

I havent seen rumours of Sharpe going to league obviously propagated by his manager, and I don't recall Sharpe jumping on twitter to slander his national squad and their coach.

How much bigger/smaller are they than Ben McCalman?

Smith is common in South Africa, as is Smit. I remember LG saying that Juan Smith's surname was ironic when compared to John Smit; Smit has the British heritage of the two while Smith has the Afrikaan background.

That makes two of us!

Nearly choked on my lunch when I saw they'd signed Juan Smith.

This sounds really unlikely. If it was to happen, it would be in very small numbers of players.

Long term, what position does he expect to play for the Wallabies? Which would he prefer to play? (Distinct questions)

Can someone upload, or post a link to an existing video, of Hoopers run off the Argie lineout in the second half? Haven't been able to find a video of this.

Never recovered from the Sweeney Todd image.

By that logic a lot of the current crop wouldn't be playing. If they dropped out for every injury there would be a bunch of people calling them soft fluffybunnys or something along those lines.

Speak for yourself, I'm not joking when I say that was a shocker. Bombed try for sure. Taps wasn't too bad for the majority of the game though.

Man the US newspapers (NY Times esp.) write some good rugby articles.

Barnes seems like a nice guy, also seems like he could talk the leg off a chair. Sort of guy who'd make friends wherever he went.

I thought Pocock = Smith for his on-ball pilfering skill, Hooper like Waugh for his hard nosed determination and Gill for his fierce turnover skill. Funny how they've aligned with the right provinces for this analogy for next S15 season. In reality they're all different to the players we've...
