Cannot afford to lose to the Stinkin' Waratahahas again. Jones and Isi should both be back this week which will help a lot. I would like to see English back at 13 with Hodge at 12. I don't think Hodge has really clicked at 13 and outside centre is one spot where we don't have many options...

Needs to spend some time this week with the ladder though.

Agree. I much prefer listening to the Dingo, Harrison, Turinui style of commentary than the Kerns, Martin, Horan variety.

Sunwolves Facebook page has Nathan Vella starting at hooker & Jaba Bregvadze on the bench.

I think it's a bit early to call "season over" - but - we need a pretty healthy win this weekend. Need a BP and to bank some positive points differential. This season does have a bit of the same stench as 2018 about it though :(

I thought he played OK, had a couple of decent carries and won a pilfer. He wasn't on for long though, he picked up a yellow card in the first half and didn't come back on. He could have been a bit lucky that there wasn't a TMO, could have been a red. He was done for cleaning out with his...

Is Pone actually on trial as a back rower or is he playing there because the cupboard is bare? With Wilkin out for the season, RHP playing in the 2nd row to cover for Coleman, and Ha'angana off with the JWC squad there literally isn't anyone else that could be picked. All four of those...

It looks like Erasmus could be making a career change - as a hooker. Apparently he has been training there quite a bit. In the Rising game last night, JU picked up a yellow card late in the first half and was replaced for the rest of the game by Erasmus. Apart from over-throwing a line out he...

Was also with Rebels Under 20s/Rising in 2017.

Jeez. I count at least 10 Wallabies in the 'Tahs run-on side, plus more on the bench. Tahs by 30 :rolleyes:

That is pretty much a Sunwolves quality team. They might put 100 on the Rising :eek: Good test for Jordan, up against Shota.

Both Isi and Jones expected to miss two weeks.

I imagine the negotiations went something like - RA: Hello Foxtel, we would like the same deal as last time (plus a bit more, please). In exchange we are going to give you: fewer games to broadcast, 1 or 2 fewer home games for each team, half those local derbies that you like so much, and the...

^ Thanks GMR. If that's the case then I wonder if the argument to play him in the lead up games is stronger than the argument to maintain the existing combinations? If there is a cloud over QC (Quade Cooper)'s fitness then he's definitely needed this week at least.

Does anyone know how many games To'omua needs to play to qualify for finals? He could potentially play 5.

I reckon if Engo was fully fit he would be on the bench in place of Magnay.

rugby.com.au are suggesting that Uelese will play for the Rising against the Japan A this weekend. That game will be a curtain raiser to the Rebels v Bulls, starts at 5:05pm.
