JOC (James O'Connor) injured Hodge available but not selected.

Exactly the same team from what Ive been told with Thor and AAA swapping the only change. Gordon apparently kept his starting position over Tate. Think its good to allow the group to get some cohesion if Rennie sees this as his top 15 barring those injured, it was obvious they need some...

Kellaway on for Banks please

Outside of Trbojevic, Wright (186cm, 98kg) has all of the other top fullbacks covered for size ie. Tedesco (184cm, 95kg), Ponga (184cm, 92kg), Paenhuyzen (181cm, 84kg), Brimson (181cm, 89kg), Tuivasa Scheck (182cm, 96kg).

I believe Kellaway will return also

Wright was reported today as looking to go back to league.

It was a terrible game in the early parts as a spectacle, with the scrum penalties and resets. But what a thoroughly entertaining second half, even if a bit lopsided in the officiating. Well done to the Brumbies.

Saders definitely getting the rub of the green at home.

By the looks of the press release he only signed for the year (for 2021). https://brumbies.rugby/news/2020/08/17/tom-wright-re-signs-brumbies-super-rugby

Should have a crack at bringing Nick Frost home, he was good in the final, stuck behind Neville and Swain at the Brumbies and off contract.

Would be seriously happy if the Tahs were able to secure McInerney or Lonergan. If they don't have a crack (which wouldn't surprise me) there is seriously something wrong. A sneaky crack at bringing home Frost and Wright would be worthwhile as well.

Didn't the Reds lose their last start at the business end to the Force?

Id think with his form at the back end of the SRAU Perese should be a given for the squad, if the continues that form in TT you'd think he will be challenging for a spot in the 23 and perhaps even the 13 jersey.

Petaia is a tough one. Obvious skill and game breaking ability but prone to brain snaps. He makes my 23 because of his versatility and ability to break a game open. Daugunu hard to include if form is the marker when Thorn has barely used him. Preferring Campbell and Petaia last night speaks...

While JOC (James O'Connor) has been solid as captain since taking over from Wright, Id hardly say the decision making has been perfect, the last 10-15 minutes last night demonstrated a series of poor decisions. I assume he kept the C when Wright was out there.

Not only that but the NRL bubble is back in place so he cant re-join the first grade team to train or play until they "burst" that bubble if he plays today.

They had one.

Frost at 6 is interesting. No slipper hurts, Brumbies have already struggled at scrum time at the back end of games.

Wow. Some surprise omissions there and Daugunu on the bench behind Campbell

Interesting comparing GAGR Team of the Year with Paul Cully's. The five differences 1, 8, 9, 14, 15 Cully’s Super Rugby AU Team of the Season Tom Robertson (Force) Feleti Kaitu’u (Force) Taniela Tupou (Reds) Cadeyrn Neville (Brumbies) Trevor Hosea (Rebels) Rob Valetini (Brumbies) Fraser...
