Barrett again! Go the Hobbit!

Was wondering of the first 2 mauls were moving early.

WOW - Barrett!:cool:

The Smith twins deliberately did what they needed to do to make themselves Wallabies eligible. The Citizenship was one piece. The residence issue (3yrs) for Ruan was resolved a few years ago (played for the Force in 2012 then moved to the Brumbies).

Like a job application - prove you are good enough to be the Wallabies attacking coach and future head coach!;) Time to walk the talk.

This is the same rinse & repeat conversation form last year which highlights the point that we are on a merry-go-round. One year on and no change. Barrett and Sopoaga are both 25. - correct; and have already been Super Rugby 10's for awhile and blooded in the AB system. It's well reported that Barrett...

Last report I saw was contract was with the ARU.

As i called it! (so far)

Maybe that is the issue. Should we not be grabbing the talent and building through mentoring, exposure and opportunity rather than waiting for them to be in outstanding form? Isn't part of the issue that the skill development is not being done early enough? There is also an argument that we...

Yes. Australian citizen so i am unaware of any impediment.

Ah - your on to me!;) Exactly who is there especially at 10, or 12 or...... We all know that we have no depth but we don't want can't seem to do anything about it except rinse and repeat. These is the same conversions we had last year pre-RWC and they will continue until we want to change...

IIRC, Gits has only played 10 in recent times, and has struggled with form due to a lot of injuries (Jan out for 3mth with groin op, in May suffer abductor strain - it happens when you are nearly 34). QC (Quade Cooper) has rarely played 10, and his time at 15 was limited (15 caps total - Top 14 season is 26...

In complete contrast it sounds like the the All Blacks will be going with 3 halfbacks. If so D McKenzie will most likely miss out to make room. .

Traded to smooth over an owners discontent at Giteau's return.:p I wonder if he is going to suffer the wrath of extra pre-season work.

Warm up fun! I had no idea he could kick.

If you were looking at meters and defenders beaten, they are about equal, except TK has 6 more games and less tries!

Hurts me to say it, but possibly based on recent form yes. I said a couple of weeks ago in the Brumbies blog a run on the wing where he has to work to get ball and has more freedom to get his running back may help him out.

Who would you then have @13? If we are going controversial it opens up the option to have a different type of 13, like the Nonu/ Smith combo the AB had. What about a fresh face like Naivalu or dare I suggest Folau @13? DHP could play @15. It would also provide really different attacking option...
