Would it be a conflict of interest if I retained my armchair Wallabies coaching consultant position and was on the armchair selection committee? All good though. I am willing to take time out from advising the ARU in how to fix the game!.

@Lindommer: I can accept that, and like you I have little understanding of the dark arts. I am taking the view that they both performed well in the past year, and Allan was picked on his form he showed at the Brumbies playing 1. The recruitment is also based that scenario (even though the...

Team selections will be interesting but I am not sure how influential. The combinations available to both teams are relatively new or rusty. Last game the Boks turned over 2 Wallabies lineout and won all of heir own. Mumm was in the team and he has really good lineout take stats so it was as...

The previous meeting was sealed by the boot. 2 tries each and it was penalties that made the difference. I think both teams are still yet to settle on a cohesive and fully fictional (let alone convincing) back-line or have a game plan that utilises the back-line. It will be tight I think and...

What was the necessity?

Prescription or illicit?:confused:

And again, I believe he may have preferred to play LH. It is where he has shown his recent form. The form that got him selected for the Wallabies. Or was he selected off past history?

I could be wrong, but I though it was at the Wallabies he changed? I am aware he can play both side but I believed (and happy to be corrected) that the Brumbies moved him to his preferred side.

I am happy to go with what we have on the premise if they don't perform they go. Always (and a lot of the time :oops:) happy to eat my words if the likes of Fakosolea and Godwin perform. Losing Ruan has really forced us to keep Benny and sadly I think at a cost. Keeping Benny for his...

Why? This is not a Wallabies convenience issue, this is about whats best for Brumbies and the player. I personally have a real issue with influential coaches using things like national team selection as the catalyst to force players to change to improve their own coaching CV. Coaches walk away...

Could not agree more. I have seen and personally experienced where influential coaches think changes are good (for their own benefit) and it ends up poorly for players.

^^ I think Alex Horan should get an EPS or development, Isaac Thompson as cover at full back and can kick (I would take him over Toua anytime ) on some deal, defiantly need a specialist 7 back up and I would be happy to gamble on a young bloke for a year. I still think Dargaville could be a...

Agreed, but hypothetically, thinking along the lines of a FFA Cup concept where teams play off to advance to a final 32, if Rugby adopted a similar concept where the Shute were part of the playoff and possible one of them advance to the last group from say a Sydney zone, I believe the out of...

I have to say I really like the way you explained that and the points you make. I don't think what we are saying is that dissimilar (except mine was explained very poorly :oops: ).

IMHO the common denominator with the above is their all domestic (local) teams (in their respective environments). people can identify and subscribe to "local" teams as People can emotionally invest in the team (feel passion, pride, association,identify with them and they become a social...

Well the other big legal fight the the Brumbies paid there way out of and left to the UC crew has ended. More questions than answers again. Interestingly still all being hushed up which seem to be a very very important central issue to this whole saga. I would assume that Jones grievance...

I think she is on track, just needs more time in the middle to get exposure and experience to the difference in scrums and breakdowns, Overall I though she went OK. Coleman is not a 10 and never will be and the experiment need to be ended ASAP. Bring in Horan or one of the JiD 10"s. Butler...

Fantastic to see Amy get the opportunity! Cant wait to see how she goes.

Some good news on the legal front for once and at least one skeleton dealt with. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/canberra-casino-insider-loses-finders-fee-bid-over-brumbies-sponsorship-deal-20160915-grhkw5.html
