I think we'll see pretty much a follow on from last year's core side, with this match being used to get the rust out of the system before the Scotland game the following weekend. Good to see some fresh faces in the squad but I think any experimentation will be saved for the Italy game. We'll...

CHIEFS v HURRICANES in Hamilton, Friday 5.35pm AEDT CHIEFS (15-1): Damian McKenzie, Toni Pulu, Tim Nanai-Williams, Anton Lienert-Brown, James Lowe, Aaron Cruden (co-captain), Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Michael Leitch, Sam Cane (co-captain), Mitchell Brown, Brodie Retallick, Dominic Bird, Nepo Laulala...

Regardless of Kerevi's fitness I think this is the game to move Folau to 13. If Kerevi is fit play him at 12 and bench Hodge, if he's not then leave Hodge at 12 for another crack. I'd make no other unforced changes at this stage, although it's a hard call not to start Poey somewhere, but his...

Someone had to start it!

There's a bit of 'so and so could get a shot on the EOYT' talk creeping in to the match threads so as the tour draws nearer I thought it pertinent to have it's own thread to talk about these emerging stars and just general tour specific stuff. I saw an article this morning suggesting that...

Wallabies to commence their undefeated run for the remainder of 2016. :)

Predicting anyone who was in the RWC Final 23 who is available will be in this 23.....maybe some new blood to fill the gaps? Haylett-Petty a deserved selection for one of the vacant wing spots. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What do we expect for this team? I'd expect the team to be made up of guys in the RWC squad in need of some game time (e.g. T Smith, Hanson, Simmons, Beale, Horne), plus obviously the 9 or so guys who go that aren't in the RWC squad, with the remaining slots to be balanced out by front line...

Presumably a fresh squad announcement will be made at some point. Is there any idea as to when?

Due to popular demand, here it is! I'd like to see Cheika test out Hooper & Pocock starting together, but it's more likely will see that at the end of the game. I think by and large we'll field a side similar to where we left off last year and develop from that base. 1. Slipper 2. Moore 3...

Just starting a thread for this. Unless someone else claims to have already done it I will set up a GAGR league and will post details here when done.
